Weekend Update

Ok, so for all of you that look forward to the end of daylight savings time...we don't in this house! Not because it's the official end to sunlight past 5pm or because it's the "beginning" of a long winter. It's because we have little ones in the house that don't understand the "extra hour" part and still wake up early - an hour earlier. We've (Brady and I) been up since 5:10am....having a "pancake picnic" and watching Disney Jr. (because the news wasn't even on yet!). I decided to catch up on some blogging and post some picures from our Halloween festivities last week.
The kids had their Halloween parties at school on Wednesday. I was lucky enough to be able to help out in Brady's classroom. I don't have any pictures from it yet as I am waiting for the mom who took all the great pictues to email them out. Kaitlyn's class had a great party too - they played lots of games, decorated mini pumpkins and made ice cream sundaes! 
 
 
Then is was home to get ready for Halloween! The kids were so excited  - they could hardly contain themselves. Our neighborhood starts trick-or-treating at 6:30pm - so we took some pictures on the porch with our pumpkins while waiting to start. We actually went to more houses this year than we have in the past. I guess the kids are getting older and realized the more houses we visit, the more candy they would get! Brady's favorite part was ringing the doorbell! The kids loved it!


Our combined candy loot! This is the bowl I use to hand out candy  - it holds 2 XL bags - we gave quite a bit of candy to eat!

Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese!!

Brady decided he wanted to have his birthday party with his friends at Chuck E Cheese. He invited his best buddies from school and we had a great time. He scored tons of tickets in the ticket blaster, had a Star Wars cake and had a great time playing games with all his friends. Here are some highlights from the awesome party!

Highlights from today: Hollywood Studios

Today we spent the day at Hollywood Studios. The kids enjoyed seeing all their favorite characters and catching the fun shows. They loved the Toy Story Mania ride. Brady rode the Star Wars ride with Brian and may get to participate in Jedi Training later this week.  Here are some pictures we took while waiting to meet Buzz Lightyear and Woody.  Meeting the Disney Jr. Characters Jake (& the never land pirates) and Sophia the First Wreck it Ralph and Vallenope Monsters, Inc: Mike & Sulley

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning!
