Avery's First Field Trip

This is just some of the parts about why I love being
a stay at home mom... going on field trips! Avery had her
first big school field trip last week to the pumpkin patch.

They had pumpkin decorating, games, snacks, and
even a hay ride! It was great seeing her with her little
friends!

Our Star Student

Aaron was Star Student for his class in the
month of October.  We are so proud of him!
Daddy and I had lunch with him and Spencer
was able to join us as well!

Happy Trick or Treat!

 Due to some heavy weather coming on Halloween,
the city decided to hold trick or treating the day before.
Which we think worked out great because trick or treating
in the rain doesn't sound very fun.  We held a little party
at our house with a few families.  One family brought
a trailer for us to use around the neighborhood. The kids
and the adults had a great evening!

Dance Halloween Party

The girls had their annual Halloween/Costume party
at dance this week.  They look so cute!

Vermillionville Boo on the Bayou

We visited Pop Pop and JuJu in Lafayette
this weekend.  They treated us to a morning
at Vermillionville.  I had never been there and
it was really interesting.  The kids enjoyed games
and candy and we explored some of our cajun
history.  I would love to go back another day to
learn more of the history.

Homecoming Parade

One of my favorite things about living in a small town is
the annual homecoming parade.  Each year the town shuts
down for a very short parade with floats built by parents.
Aunt Hollie is on the PTO this year and we were excited
to see her float (even if she wasn't in town to enjoy it).

Bald Eagle Project

Aaron has a book report due this week and
his chosen topic is a book on bald eagles.  Fifty
percent of his grade is a costume that they must
wear.  I am totally proud of this costume! I bought
the hoodie and sweat pants at goodwill to turn
into the bald eagle.  Pop Pop and JuJu helped
create our masterpiece -- as well as daddy
pressing the glue gun.  ALOT of hot glue later
here is the finished product!

My little ballerina- 3rd year of dance

I accidentally left off this post from September.
But our girls started their 3rd year of dance
with Ms. Lori and Ms. Molly.  Avery still
enjoy (LOVES) going to dance.  She has come
so far from that first class when she was 2.  She
has really blossomed into a graceful dancer.  I
hope we have many many years of dance ahead
of us.

LSU Game!

Aaron's best bud Jackson and his dad invited Aaron
and Daddy to go to an LSU game with them. It was
a record HOT game at a steamy 120 degrees on the
field.  The heat didn't spoil their fun time though!

Cub Scout Family Campout 2015!

This weekend the Cub Scout Pack had their
annual family camp out.  The weather was
perfect! We spent Friday and Saturday
night at Camp Carruth in Port Allen.  This is
the first time for us to use our new tent we
got for Christmas last year.  We all had such
a great time.  Even I slept pretty decent in our
tent... as this was only the second time tent
camping for Avery and I. 

We also were joined by Spencer and Elizabeth
this year since Spencer is now a Tiger Cub.  That
was really a special treat to have time with family
and new friends in scouting.  We all can't
wait to do it again! 

My Lunch Dates

Spencer asked if he could eat lunch with Aaron and I
the next time I went to school to eat.  I said of course!
It was fun for all of us to have a quick lunch date!

Happy Fall Y'all!

This is my favorite time of year! The weather is turning the
perfect temperature...which only happens about 2 weeks
of the year.  Plus I love to make holiday outfits!
