Happy Halloween! (Lots of Pictures!!)

First of all, I just have to say that I'm sorry there are so many pictures!! I just couldn't help myself! I thought Anna-Kate and Ben were adorable! 

Tonight we went downtown with our friends Elizabeth and Justin and their little boy Ben! Anna-Kate was a flower girl in their wedding back in June. She and Ben have celebrated Halloween every year since they were born! It's kind of special. :)

Last year we decided to coordinate their costumes. Anna-Kate was Dorothy and Ben was the cowardly lion and Thomas was Toto! This year since they both had their outfits from the wedding, we decided it'd be mean cute to dress them up as bride and groom! haha! Poor things! 

My Aunt passed down a costume from her son, so Thomas was an elephant this year! I had a pumpkin costume from Anna-Kate's first Halloween but I decided that it would probably be a little small on Thomas, so I let my sister borrow it for my nephew, Luke! He was SO cute in it! 

Sorry, I couldn't help but share this picture!! It's adorable! And taken by the very talented Brenna Gentry, located back home in Franklin, Tennessee!! 

After we went downtown, we went to see Derek's parents and grandmother. If you couldn't tell by the pictures, Kristen was Snow White! We all went trick-or-treating at a couple of places. 

After that we went over to Elizabeth and Justin's house for some pizza and to watch the game! She made us homemade pizza! It was delicious!! 

We had a great time! 

Anna-Kate is staying here with Derek's parents tomorrow so she can go to the fall fun fair at our church here! She's going to be a cheerleader tomorrow. Or as she says it "a broken-footed cheerleader." :)

By the way, if you noticed her new cast, you can scroll down to read all about it! I don't usually do back-to-back posts, but I was trying to catch up! :)

Cowgirl Day

Monday, was Cowboy/ Cowgirl day for Anna-Kate! I tried to explain to Anna-Kate that she was going to be a cowgirl, but she insisted on being a cowboy! ha! 

Everyone got to ride on the Harding Bus. Anna-Kate thought she was big stuff! It was pretty cute!

Excited to go on the hayride! 

Feeding the catfish

Time to feed the cows!

After the hayride we went to different stations with cowboy games and activities! 

Worn out! 

After the stations, they had lunch and then got back on the bus to go back to school!

We had a tough week but it was good!

Derek got a lead on a job, so that's an answered prayer. All we need is for him to get hired now! ha!

Anna-Kate went to the doctor today, a week earlier than we thought, because she had pulled some of the cushion out of her cast. We were kind of hoping that she would get the cast off but when they x-rayed it her leg wasn't quite healed. She's got to wear a cast for 3 1/2 more weeks! Poor thing! She chose a purple cast this time though! :)

Last night we went to a bonfire! Anna-Kate and Thomas were pretty tired because neither one of them had a good nap today, but it was fun. They held up for most of it! We left a little early though. I'm so glad we got to go!

Tonight we went trick-or-treating! Mega picture post to come! :)

Fall Festival

Last Friday, Derek and I got to go to Anna-Kate's fall party at school! The 6th graders set up stations with little games for all of the kids to play. The kids got candy at each station for playing the games.

She hobbles all around on her cast! Such a trooper!

So glad Daddy's there!

Playing games

Worn out!

After the games, everyone went back to the class for a pizza party!

I think she had lots of fun!
