Happy Halloween!

Carter had a great third Halloween! He loved trick or treating and especially getting candy! We met Erica and her family for an early dinner and then to her mom's for trick or treating! Carter dressesd up like a "baseball player". He was Texas Ranger Josh Hamilton! He carried this gun around with his costume, too funny!

After a full night we went by Seirra'a house. We tried to go to a few houses in their neighborhood, but most people had their lights out!

litttle reminders

While I enjoy my students and my job, it is no secret that I would love to stay home with Carter. I miss him so much every day while I am at school. Well, the other day my mom dropped him off at my school on her way home and he got to visit my room. As always, he went straight for the magnets on my desk. For some reason he decided to start putting them all on top of one of my papers. We had to leave before he had finished and I actually forgot about him doing it. Well, today when I was working with a group of students I looked over and saw the magents on the paper and it made my heart smile. I love the little sweet reminders of my little guy. :)

The Big Orange Pumpkin Patch

This was Carter 2nd year to go the this pumpkin patch and it was so much fun!! Meemaw and Aunt Kristen went with us and we had such a nice time!

Carter really wanted to ride on this Gator!

I had to bribe him with M&Ms to get him out of the bounce house! Notice them going down his shirt!

Time for a hay ride!

Lining them up! On his own he lined up 3: baby, mommy and daddy pumpkin. For some reason the mommy pumpkin was bigger than the daddy pumpkin!
