Richard's 1st MSU Football Game!

This entry is a work in progress - I now have picasa installed so that I don't have to write multiple posts in order to accomodate my pics, but I can't figure out how to make a collage - it seems I can find the directions in the HELP section but my dashboard doesn't look the same- no buttons - oh well, I will hopefully tackle this tomorrow. :o)

Trick or Treating in the Neighborhood. . .

After a fun time at the Park, and as other families began filtering in, we headed home....I thought I'd try one more time with Pablo - ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I did, however know where last year's costume was (it was big last year so I figured it just migh fit) - well what do you know - he wanted to wear "doggie" - so doggie we were for our actual trick or treating. Half the night he had the head up and half the night the head was pushed back - oh well. . .such is life with a two going on three year old. We had a great time - he was wonderful about knocking, stepping back, waiting patiently, saying trick or treat, and then saying thank you....way to go - can't wait for next year!

Halloween at the Park. . .

We enjoyed heading over to Winner's Circle Park - we learned our lesson in the past - you GO EARLY before all of the other mom and dad's are off from work!!! We easily moved about and checked out what was there - we were DEFINITELY loving the toddler area - NO big kids allowed in the same jumpies. PatPat and Poppa were on their way back from Ruston to Baton Rouge so they stopped by to see Richard. As you see - still no dressing up......

Library Time on Halloween. . .

Richard always looks forward to Library Time with Mrs. June on Thursdays - so much in fact, that it is one of the ways we are helping him count down the weeks until we go and "see Mickey." Mrs. June, the fairy, led us in songs, reading books, playing with the magnets, ribbon rhythm time, and of course playing with the balls. Richard, Claire, Kate, and Emma had a wonderful time and it was a GREAT way to pass the time till our hunnies all got home from work to join in the Halloween festivities.

Party Time at Mrs. Beth's. . .

Richard, Wes, Claire, Emma, and Manze always enjoy celebrating the various holidays at Mrs. Beth's house...it generally means pizza, cookies, cupcakes, and little presents from each other. What fun they look like they were having.

Celebrating Halloween at Mrs. Beth's House. . .

The kiddos celebrated Halloween at Mrs. Beth's on Thursday....Wes, Richard, and Manze all arrived about the same time. Richard had been determined that he wanted to be Pablo from the Backyardigans, but Thursday morning he REFUSED to put the costume on...so what is a mom to do!?!?!? I dressed him in his MSU warm ups, handed him a MSU basketball, and said "voila - you are a ballplayer for State!!"
