Pumpkin Carving

This was the first year that we carved a pumpkin as a family. Scott did most of the carving work. He created a wonderful silhouette of Mickey Mouse per Anne's request. Anne and I scraped out all the guts out and separated the seeds. We had lots of fun!

Bowling

We went bowling with our Target family on Wednesday. It was Anne's first time to bowl and I think she liked it.

Toddler Fair

Friday was Toddler Fair at Anne's preschool and it was so much fun! Gra'ma and I arrived at 11:30 to escort Anne to the fair (the teachers man the booths.) It was wonderful. All the children dressed up like farmers, which meant that I spent the week searching for overalls and boots. I found the overalls and sewed a bit of pizazz on them, but we had to settle for red Keds instead of boots. Albeit, I think she looked fabulous if I do say so myself. When we walked to the courtyard behind her classroom everything was set up for the fair. Each child was asked to bring a stuffed "farm" animal to be judged at the animal show. Anne's Chicky won first place! Well actually, all the animals received a blue ribbon, but we don't have to emphasize it! Anne's teacher, Ms. Teresa, manned the carmel apple booth. Gra'ma and I took Anne on a few wagon rides around the "farm" and we visited the chickens in the chicken coup. Anne gave each one a kiss and would have taken a few home if we hadn't stop her. The big hit was the duck pond! There were to red ponds filled with water and yellow ducks. Each child had a fishing net to scoop as many ducks as they could. After watching we discovered that there were to kinds of kids. The ones who used their nets to scoop as many ducks as they could and those who used their nets to splash all the other kids. It was lots of fun to watch! Their is one picture Konner and Anne at the duck pond. She talks about him all the time, sometimes he is the first thing she talks about in the morning! After all our fun we sat down on our blanket for a delicious meal of mini corn dogs, chips, and cookies. It was a great day!

Another Aggie Game

Here are a few pics from the Army Game.

The East Texas State Fair

Every year we go to the East Texas State Fair. Scott, Anne, and I went with Papa and Gra'ma this year. I have been going every year since I was Anne's age and this year was Anne's third visit, but her first time to get to ride the rides. I put an extra tall bow in her hair so she could make the height requirement. She rode the cars twice and the Choo Choo Train with Gra'ma. Another highlight this year was the petting zoo. It had goats, pigs, a deer, kangeroo, and more. I think I enjoyed it as much as Anne did. We can't wait until next year!
