Annual Buchanan Family Halloween Party

October 2010

Thanks to Heidi, every year we have a really fun Halloween party. She goes all out planning games and food!

The only rule is that EVERYONE has to dress up!

Rick was an alien convict

Heidi and Gary were Egyptians and Avie was a cute witch

Holly and her girls made an adorable Wizard of Oz theme!

Me and Jesse dressed up as Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty. Our kids were their same costumes as the last party!

Thanks Heidi for another great Party! You're the BEST!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a fun Thanksgiving with Jesse's family! Dinner was delicious! I ate too much - literally, we'll leave it at that.

Leaves Are Falling All Around!

"Leaves are falling all around

On the housetops on the ground

Leaves are falling on my nose

On my head, and hands, and toes!"

(This is one of my favorite primary songs to sing!)

Here are my boys loving the fall leaves!

Our Jack-O-Lantern Creations

Tonight we went to the pumpkin patch to find our pumpkins. Once we found what we were looking for we went home to get creative. Collin kept busy by painting his pumpkins and telling Jesse and I what to do and how to do it. Ty made us crazy by constantly climbing up on the table and grabbing at the knives and soiled paint brushes. Fun family together time. Besides all of the chaos, and now that it's all said and done, I feel that the evening was a success. We have our Jack-O-Lanterns ready to greet our Trick-or-Treaters! So, come one, come all! Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Scarecrow Festival

We went to the Scarecrow Festival with the Lamborn's on Friday night. We had a screamin' good time!

My Lil' Punkins

We went to Arctic Circle tonight because Collin's been begging for one of those "square pumpkin kid's meals". He got a pumpkin flashlight in the kids meal, and of course, he was more interested in the box that the meal came in than the toy! After we were done eating, Collin asked me to cut out the pumpkins on the box so that he could wear them as masks. Ty thought it was a great idea too. They had so much fun with these tonight. Cute boys.
