halloween 2010

Halloween was especially fun this year because McKenna and Rhett are old enough to decide what they wanted to be. McKenna chose to be Foofa, a character from her favorite show, Yo Gabba Gabba. Rhett wanted to be... well... guess... a football player. Trick-or-treating was fun too! McKenna definitely understood what was in it for her and wasn't at all afraid to go to strangers' doors to ring their doorbells. In fact, when it was time to go home to get ready for bed, she said "but there are all these houses with their porch lights on that we haven't been to yet!"

I didn't get any good pictures from Halloween night, but here are a few pictures from their Halloween party at school:

my little football player

As a mom who wants to protect her son from injury in his life, I hope most of all that Rhett never wants to play football. Unfortunately, right now, all signs point to football. He is obsessed! Some of his most frequently used words are football, tackle, hike, and Willie (yes, he's a true Wildcat!). And... he's showing us that he has quite the arm.

summer vacation

Our summer vacation kept us closer to home this year. We picked THE HOTTEST week of the year to go to Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri. Despite the heat, we had a wonderful time relaxing on the lake. Here are a few pictures of how we spent our vacation.

quiet morning

I spent the usual morning quietly getting ready for work as everyone else slept in. On this particular morning, as I was getting ready to head out the door, I discovered that Rhett was already up. Instead of hanging at the gate crying for someone to come get him (as he usually does), he was sitting in his rocking chair reading a book... and so I spied on him:

the damage is done

McKenna took it upon herself to cut her hair! I should have been prepared considering her interest in "scissoring". I can't decide whether to let it be or trim (OK, cut) the rest of her hair. It would be an easy decision if her hair didn't grow so slow. :(
