Happy Halloween!

Ghosts and goblins hit the streets tonight so here's a little glimpse of our Halloween festivities this year!

Grace had a party at Kids R Kids and a school dance on Friday night while Adam's school party was today.  After school, we hurried home to have some dinner before hitting the streets.  Adam took a few houses before he got the gist of the night but according to David he looked out for his sister and retrieved the candy from all the scary houses since she isn't in to that.


Here's some of the neighborhood kids before the neighborhood got busy!


After a couple laps, Adam stayed behind to help pass out the candy and got a lot of "aren't you cute" comments from all the girls.


Then Grace decided she was done with the walking too and called it a night.


We had a good night and the best part was that all the hoopla died down by 8:30.  Now that's a Halloween I can get behind! 

Oh and in case you were wondering or heard through the grapevine, David and I did get to enjoy a little adult time on Saturday evening as our friends hosted a gathering.  I picked my costume first and Grace said we had to match so..........................


Happy Halloween only 55 more days until Christmas :(

Grace's 1st Panthers Game

This past Sunday we were the fortunate recipients of four, front-row, endzone tickets to the Carolina Panthers vs Washington Redskins game.  We decided to take Grace and her friend Ethan - since she has asked about going to a game.

We got there about an hour before the game and of course got her face painted - cat scratches

Checked out some of the kid friendly activities

Then went down to our seats

We were really close - so close you could almost touch the players (but who'd want to - they were the Redskins)


Grace and Ethan got a little antsy and had to go souvenir shopping before halftime

But at least she got to see them score a touchdown!

All in all, she had a great time at the game


A special thank you to the Wood Brothers and Donnie Wingo for the tickets!!

My Bad

Has it really been a month since I've updated this blog????  My bad - guess life got in the way...so here's a snapshot of what's been up

* I went to NJ for Tiffany's wedding and while there got to catch up with some friends.
* I went to Coker for Homecoming and spent time with some people that I hadn't seen in ages.
* I turned 39 and blew it out in style (ask David, my dad or Linda for their version)
* Grace received her orange belt in karate and is doing great in 2nd grade!!
* Adam is driving us crazy during the potty training process

Will share photos as soon as my iTunes updates and I can download them.
