Holy Halloween, Batman!

The "Bat" Family

I love how tough Batman is in this picture!

We spent a lot of the evening chasing after the "Boy Wonder"

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time going to our local pumpkin patch last week. We played putt-putt golf, rode on a zip line, and saw some (*stinky*) animals. I love fall. Even though by the end of the day we were hot and sweaty!

Field Trip

Rory went on his first Pre-K field trip and had a blast. His mom and his brother tagged along and got to join in on all of the Children's Museum fun.

Being charming with the story telling lady!

What we've been up to...

Okay, okay! I know I've been way out of the blogging loop as of late. You just have to live life sometimes instead of writing and reading about it but I'm back and here's what's been going on around the O'Quinn house

...or out of it I should say since I feel like we spend more time out of it than in it!

Sully thinks he's a big boy now and doesn't need to sit in his high chair.

Rory is all about being outside and playing sports. Can't wait for the weather to get and stay cool so I don't mind being out there with him.

Maggie got gum stuck in her hair!

Perfect timing for a little trim!

Here come's the lame part...I am totally stealing content from Amy's blog to tell you about our fabulous lake weekend. She took some great pictures! Thanks Amy!

LUNCH

Our small group had our 2nd Annual lake house weekend that a few of us got to enjoy. The O'Quinns, Jetts, Youngs, and McKellars stayed the weekend while the Amends got to come up for the day Saturday. You can tell by the pictures that we had a lot of fun! Can't wait for next year. Thanks McKellars for hosting!

Rory Fishing

This is Rory's last week before school starts. His sister is already restricted with early bed times since her school started on Monday.

Casey's cousin Kelley has been in town and the boys have been doing a lot of fishing and Rory got to tag along for some night fishing. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and obviously feels right at home on a dock!

WOW! I'm Impressed...

I cannot get over this home make-over. It just goes to show that you can't judge a house by it's previous owner. I don't think that I would have had this much imagination to transform this house the way she has. I'm definitely going to use some of her ideas, though!

Check it out!

Thanks Devonne for the link!

First Day

There were a few tears, a few nerves, a bit of anxiety and not quite
sure where to go...but then Maggie stepped in and assured me that
everything would be fine and she'd see me at 3:30.

I wasn't prepared for my kids' lives to pass by so quickly. Next thing
you know, she'll be starting high school. I think I'll sit on her to
see if it slows things up a bit.
