trunk or treat
We carved our lovely pumpkins from down on the farm...
Buttercup and the Walrus made a fish. I attempted a ghost from Westley's request but it's the lamest thing you've ever seen (not shown) and so I attempted a traditional jack o lantern (shown)...

halloween past
Yes, Halloween has already passed. For some reason, all the activities were this past weekend. We enjoyed ghost stories on the mountain and trunk or treat and games at the church.
Westley was Darth Vader...
Our beloved park ranger was a Bumble Bee and Buttercup was herself..

fall festivities
We had lots of fun at ....
We climbed haystacks, petted animals, saw two pigs scuffle like they were Holly and Maggie (seriously, I think the Maggie Pig bit the Holly pig's ankle!), picked our own pumpkins, and went on a hayride.I think they're friends...
We also went to Colorfest (an art festival) in Mentone.

mommy, tomorrow i want to tell you i had fun in Texas
Westley and I had a great vacation in Texas. We flew on a plane but I think he had more fun on the shuttle buses, truth be told. We had a great time with Kim and her husband Joseph. Their hospitality was much appreciated. There were playgrounds and shopping and oh yeah, my 20 year high school reunion. I really enjoyed reconnecting with Robin, Michelle, Cheryl, Beth, Cindy, Jeanine, Tammy, and Carrie (in order of appearance). There were several others too numerous to name. Everybody looked absolutely fabulous. Except me, I can't get a decent haircut to save my life.
We ate lots of Mexican food and there were margaritas. I also got my once a decade Whataburger.
I got to tour the school, see some tailgaters at the football team (but ultimately bailed, it was cold!), and enjoy reunion festivities at Lantana Golf Club sans the children. The only thing missing was the Walrus who couldn't think of anything more excruciating, except maybe a root canal but would still probably prefer the root canal, than being at a party full of people he doesn't know. He was still missed.
I loved spending all that time with Westley without having to worry about work or school and I loved that he loves Kim as much as I do. They really hit it off.
Robin...
Tammy and Jeanine...We just need our flutes and a stage.
Haven't seen Carrie in 20+ years. Carrie has the best sense of humor. I wonder if she still likes hot pink and Miss Piggy.Michelle and her hubby...The only person I didn't recognize but knew her when she introduced herself. Most others were either unrecognizable all together or I couldn't remember their name.
Cindy (&I)... Many hours were spent on her trampoline and in my pool.
Westley and Wookie...

boom days
We had a great time at this year's Boom Days in Fort Payne. We forgot our camera so the pictures aren't very clear from the phone camera.
There was drumming with John Scalici...
Westley caught a fish from an organization promoting the throwback method of fishing.

happy birthday little guy
Young Westley turns the big 5 this week. He couldn't be more excited. When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, he asked for pizza, popcorn, black juice (root beer), and cupcakes. We had a great time eating and playing all day.
Playing with water balloons.
Water Trampoline.
Holly wants to know if you're opening a snack.
Playing with play doh.
Making our own pizzas.
Pizza and root beer goood.
PJ's and cupcakes. Who could ask for more?
Trying to ignore the laundry in the background.
Chowing down. Isn't that lovely?

great weekend
(as always, names are omitted or changed for the sake of the public blog)
My cousin invited us to a family reunion in Tennessee with her husband's side of the family.
First we stopped off in Scottsboro for The Home Depot kids' project. In Tennessee, we spent the day eating, drinking, and playing games. Much fun was had by all.
Sunday, my cousin's family came to spend the day with us. We got to see some sites around northern Alabama. Their kids were a hoot and we can't wait to go visit them in Boston.

Westley loved the little doggies.
My beautiful cousin, her husband, The Walrus, Westley, and I.
Westley made a new friend (cousin's step son) with the same name so, we'll call him Westley too. Sorry older Westley!
Cousin and her husband.
Cousin, hubby, older Westley, and we'll call the other son Skywalker.
Older Westley and Skywalker found the way to the cliffs on the other side.
He doesn't really love Ben.

They're friends. Young Westley really liked hanging out with older Westley and Skywalker.
Being subjected to Cow and Chicken. Sorry cous and fam!
