Lucky October??

Earlier in the month at National Night Out, I won a $20 gift card to Walmart (given away by our HOA). Then... this past Saturday I took the boys to Old Navy because they needed some long sleeve shirts... I wanted to get in the store early before the crowd came so we got to the store just before 9:30. I walk in and an employee hands me a little Halloween bag and a covered card and said 'open up the card to see if you won'... Well, I won a $50 gift card to Old Navy! How about that?! The funny thing is I had no idea that they were having an event called 'freaky fun day' (or something like that)and the first 100 poeple in the store had a chance to win. I can't believe I was one of the first 100 people in the store and that I actually won!

OK... I'm off to buy some lottery tickets!!! Ha!!

Kindergarten Pumpkin Scientist Night

Last night at Tyler's school Lovejoy had Pumpkin Scientist Night for just the Kindergarten classes. We all went, including baby bro, and carved a pumpkin. Tyler did an experiment with the pumpkin and had to choose if the pumpkin would sink or float in a tub of water. Tyler said the pumpkin would float and Jason and I said 'are you sure, Tyler... it's a big pumpkin'... we were both totally thinking the pumpkin would sink. Well, we are big'ol ree-rees because the pumpkin floated!! When we saw it float we both immediately said 'oh yeah, they are hollow - derrr!!! So, Tyler was right... smarty pants!!!
They did a couple other 'experiments' like guessing how much the pumpkin would weigh (Tyler guessed 10 lbs and his weighed 12) and how many seeds they thought the pumpkin had inside. It was a good time except for the two year old screaming in the background... Oh, wait, that was my two year old - fun times!!

Big Orange Pumpkin Farm

Here are some pictures from the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm. We have been the past several years and I always enjoy taking the boys. This year we went on a Monday when Tyler was out of school so I got some good pics of both boys (well I tried to get some good pics)! We met a few friends out there, had a picnic lunch, and lots of fun!!

National Night Out

Our neighborhood had a small event for the residents of Stacy Ridge on National Night Out (thank goodness it is in October instead of August)! They had cookies and treats for the kids and raffle prizes for the adults! And guess who won... ME!!! I won a $20 gift card to Walmart! Woohoo!!
Above are a few pictures from the evening. The first picture is of Tyler inside a police car... and he is, of course, asking the officer what all the different buttons do! The officer let Tyler talk over the speaker and even turn on the siren!

We all had a great time at the park and enjoyed meeting new neighbors!

Fun Girls Night...

We had a super fun girls night last week... Maybe a little too much fun! We had a small group this time, only the 3 of us, but we had big amounts of fun!! Luv ya, girlies!!
