The Moore Four...Plus One More!

What a beautiful Halloween we had this year! It was so warm! We have celebrated every Halloween since Ethan's birth with The Turner's, so this year was no exception! Mandy and I prepared some finger foods for everyone. While Ella and Kami handed out candy, we all hopped on the golf cart and went trick or treating. The kids all got a ton of candy that Chris is very thankful for. They have only had a piece or two since Halloween and Chris has eaten about a handful a day! We thought for sure that we would not run out of candy this year since we had about 20 pounds, but we did! I think our neighborhood is "the" place to go for candy in this county! Luckily it was at the end anyway. I didn't take many pictures, but the ones I did take are in the album.

Just Like My Daddy

It was career night at AWANA Wednesday night. When I asked Ethan what he wanted to be when he grew up, he answered without hesitation, "I want to be a daddy just like my daddy." I asked him what kind of job he wanted to do and he said, "Uh, Mom, sell cars!" As if I would dare even ask him that question when he just knew that I already knew the answer! There is such a stereotype with used car salesman, but I would be so proud of either of my children if they followed in Chris' footsteps. He's got the best work ethic of anyone that I know and has provided such a wonderful life for our family. Often times I wish that he were home more, but I have to remind myself that he is out there working so hard for us. Anyway, it was a proud moment for both Chris and I. Have I ever mentioned that I absolutely adore my children? Oh, and that used car salesman is not bad either.

Halloween Carnival

Ethan's school Halloween Carnival was on Wednesday. Emerson and I volunteered to help with the games while the two and three year olds came through. The kids had a lot of fun dressing up and seeing what one another was going to be. Emerson stayed right with me as long as she had a lollipop. I think she had three in total...back to back! That is a HUGE no-no in our house! They had fun and that's all that mattered!

Fall Marathon Day

Yesterday was Ethan's last soccer game of the season. He played great and they were all given a trophy, which he has been looking forward to since his first game! After soccer, we were able to make it to the end of the pumpkin party at the library. The children played a few games, painted a pumpkin, got their face painted and a few other fun fall activities. Our day was not over yet! We headed on over to the Chevy to the Levee after the library. Everything was close to shutting down, but we were able to take a hay ride with some friends. It was a busy day to say the least. We came home just in time for Emerson's nap, so Ethan and Grammy were able to spend some alone time together. She brought a bunch of outdoor Halloween decorations for them to put outside together. Ethan was in his element! Once again, some of my friends forgot their cameras, so there are lots of pictures in the web album. I really need a new camera...especially since I am now the community photographer! It's really just another excuse to get a new one since I have wanted one for years now!

Preschool Pumpkin Patch

Ethan's class visited the pumpkin patch on Friday. They enjoyed painting a pumpkin, playing games, a hay ride and a corn maze. Ethan did a lot of running around playing with his friends and lots of hand holding with Anna! She did not want to let him go all morning! I better watch them! Lots of pictures are in the album as a few of my friends forgot their camera and asked me to take pictures of their children.
