What a spooktacular weekend!

I will have to say that this Halloween was the best that we have had with the girls. They have matured and grown so much within the last year. No major breakdowns or freakouts, super success! There is so much to tell about but I will try to keep it minimal.

Saturday: Some friends of ours go to Tannehill State Park for Halloween every year. I had heard about it on the radio and thought the kids would enjoy. Of course they did! There was so much to see and do, they where just beside themselves. People where dressed in some of the most articulate costumes and some not so appealing. We all forged on and reaped the sugar filled goodness as a reward.

Sunday: We headed home around 9:30 ish to get dressed up again for some door to door treats. Addison says "To trick or treat for real, you have to go up to a door and ring the doorknob." A few of our family members where glad to fulfill her request.

After a few stops our candy pales where filled to the brim and we headed back to Mammie and PawPaw's to sort through the spoils.

Now our bellies are full of chocky (chocolate), Mommy's feet are the size of her head and Daddy Do has a backache. We are so blessed!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

the Fields.....

Yes it is a

replica of a Budweiser Clydesdale. Addison didn't know that? We where on an adventure...junking is what we call it. She saw this guy from the road and protested that she MUST have a picture with it. Then we had to pry her away because she wanted to ride it. There was a sign that stated strictly No Climbing and a little old man leering from his window. He seemed to be waiting just to run out and scold someone!

Swinging....

We are loving the freedom of our new home and much larger yard. It is so nice to watch our kids play outside and run free like when I was a child. Don't get me wrong living in a neighborhood had it's own perks but I am a country girl at heart and have missed this scenery from my window for the past seven years.

I so excited to be doing a lot of our firsts this Holiday season. I am so ready to decorate this new house. Just hope it turns out as cute as I see it in my mind?

Beauty Shop

About two months ago, the little chick-a-dees decided that they could play beauty shop. Kadence's was not so bad but Addison ended up with a mullet. Most of her hair had to be chopped off in order to grow back somewhat evenly. Believe it or not these photos are recent and it is much longer here than when originally butchered. I cried, they cried! We must always keep scissors under lock and key! Mammie's famous statement rings true "Welcome to parenthood!"

On your mark....get ready....CARVE!

Today was a gorgeous day here in Tide country. We had been planning all week to do our annual family pumpkin carving today. Usually Daddy Do (Bama) does all of the carving and I am just there for photographic support and encouragement. Both of the littles where squeamish at the thought of plunging their hands into " pumpkin guts". I'm not pointing fingers at who decided to tell them that is what all the goo was called, but he is tall and has blue eyes with brown hair and is frequently called " Daddy Do". Probably, you are wondering why "Daddy Do" because for the longest both of my children where in the habit of answering any question of how? or who does? With the reply of "my Daddy Do!" So it stuck, whether he likes it or not, I've never asked.

Anyway, I'm sure that some are also perplexed at where we have been almost the entire year. Well that is easy, The Fields have been moving. The process began around March but this is for another post. Needless to say, I plan to be back in full effect. I miss this release!

So today Daddy Do convinced me to try a little carving on my own and I think I did a bang up job. The kids where happy so we were DEFINITELY HAPPY!

Mommy - Swiper

I think Daddy Do was a little mad that mine seemed to glow brighter?
