Thanksgiving Feast Celebration!

Today was the annual Thanksgiving Feast Celebration at Jacob's Preschool. The program was funny and the food was great, as usual. Here are the pictures from the program. For those that want to download the pictures, you should be able to right click on the picture and click "save image as" to download them to your computer. If you have trouble just let me know and I will do something different.

A Jacob Funny

Wow! I know...two posts in one day. But I just had to write this down before I forgot. Yesterday while picking up Jacob and Jack from preschool I hear that my 5 year old son is getting married! Yep, seems that Jacob has a girlfriend and they are getting married. Her name is Morgan. And not only that, after they get married they are going to have a baby. And it's a girl. What's even funnier is the length to which they have planned. You see Morgan has a sister named Madison. So the baby will have two Aunt Madisons. But have no fear they have already figured out that one will be called Aunt Madison and the other will be called Aunt Maddie! I asked Jacob when they were planning on getting married and he said they would wait until they had "grown up". I was glad to hear that! This morning I was telling Michael about the whole marriage thing and Jacob looks at me and says "we're just practicing right now"!

Halloween Happenings

Halloween has come and gone. The kids had sooo much fun! We started out the Halloween festivities (I refuse to call it a holiday because it is not a day I normally get off from work, therefore it is not a "holiday") by carving our pumpkins. Jacob decided he wanted a Captain Hook pumpkin. He then "helped" Madison pick out Pablo from the Backyardigans for her pumpkin. Here are our pumpkin pics...



I also carved an "Old Smokey" pumpkin for our neighbors that I didn't get a picture of. I know, I know...it goes against everything in me as an Alabama fan. But they are HUGE Tennessee fans and they are really good friends. I do have a confession...I don't think I could have carved that pumpkin if we hadn't beat them the weekend before. (Roll Tide!)

The next night we had our Trunk or Treat at our church. Maddie was "Big Al" (or I guess I should say "Little Al") and Jacob was "Captain Hook".




My favorite "trunk" was the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". Christie was the witch, David was the lion, and they had their trunk decorated as the wardrobe. Best part...they served hot chocolate! Here's a good picture of David. Unfortunately I didn't get one of the witch or the wardrobe.

Jacob decided Wednesday morning that he didn't want to be Captain Hook anymore. He wanted to be Darth Vader. He eventually decided to be Red Power Ranger after realizing his Darth Vader suit was still too big. Maybe next year. Then that night we had our annual hayride through the neighborhood. The kids had fun trick or treating. Maddie even got the hang of it, although her favorite part was the "ride".
