Here is a link to our album of pics from our roadtrip to Texas. There are way too many pictures on it, but I didn't feel like going through and deleting most of them, so I figured you could just sort through them if you wanted.

We had such a great time with our friends and were just so thankful to have a weekend getaway with them before moving!

Happy Halloween!
This Halloween has been the best that I can remember, due mostly to all the kids at my work. It was so much fun to see them all dressed up yesterday for all of our own Halloween festivities, and the excitement continued today. Though the days were chaotic and exhausting, there were so many special moments in them that made it all so very worth it! My kids dressed up as spiderman (two boys did!), cinderella, a fairie princess, a lion, buzz lightyear, a monster, a witch, a ballerina, a cowboy, a boxer, and a kitty cat; they were all so adorable! And I dressed up as a bumble bee, which they all loved as well!
Tonight was our church's fall festival, and our Sunday School class was in charge of hosting a game in our room. We ended up doing the candy walk, which is similar to the cake walk, only with candy. It was pretty funny because the game was completely rigged to where we'd just try to call out whatever color square a kid was on that hadn't gotten candy yet, etc. A lot of parents could tell what we were doing, and they just grinned. I think there was a pretty good turnout, and we had fun with the kids and with our class.
Here are a couple pics from the night:
Hope you all had a wonderful evening as well!!

Fall Fun
Tonight we had Adam and Jennifer over to carve pumpkins and make some oreo dessert balls. We are going to take the pumpkins to our church's fall festival that we're helping out with this Friday, so we're glad they came out alright!!
Here Adam and Brad are hard at work
Our pumpkin nearly complete and the seeds drying out
Both pumpkins comleted, and yes, we agree that their's turned out better! But, just so you know, they used a template and we free-handed it!
Here are our oreo dessert balls... or whatever you want to call them. It's just one whole package of oreos crushed finely and mixed with a whole package of cream cheese. So delicious and non-nutritious!! :)
