Happy Halloween! Pirate Parade

Happy Halloween!  Captain Hook and his buddy Jack Sparrow... Lane stayed home tonight to hand out candy and really enjoyed his bag of M&M's:)

Also a pic from Seth's work Halloween Party the previous week!  Seth also went along with our Jake and the Neverland Pirate theme!  Hello Shmeee!

Joyful Voices 1st Choir Performance

Noah is in the Joyful Voices Preschool Choir at our church and absolutely loves it~!  Every Monday he tells me only 2 more days till Choir Practice (they meet for 30 mins every Wed evening)!  He just can't get enough of the music and instruments.  Wish I could say he gets that from me but definitely a Schaeperkoetter gene.  So proud of him today and his friends for getting up in front of such a huge crowd for their first performance at Youth Sunday.  First they did a hand bell performance then sang a song!  So sweet!  Below is a clip from each... couldn't upload the full version as it was too large:(

Noah's PreK Fall Festival

Craft was to decorate a pumpkin!  Noah had a great helper today... Lane!  Poor kid wants to be so big and do everything big brother does!

Halloween cookies for snack!  Yummo!



Pumpkin Bowling!

Fishing for fall leaves!

Barnum and Bailey Circus! AMAZING!

Took the boys to the circus for the first time and they LOVED it!  I remember fondly my parents taking me to see Barnum and Bailey quite a few times when I was a kid and I have always loved the circus!  I may have had as much fun as they did today... Really cool how you can come an hour early to the show and go down on the main stage and see some of the acts up close... here are a few we say before it even started!

Then we took our seats for the real show to begin~!

First we ate snacks from home....

Then popcorn during the show:)

Elephants are both Noah and Lane's favorite animals!

The high wire act was awesome!  Both Seth and I's favorite part...

Tigers were pretty amazing as well!

Noah and Lane absolutely loved the Elephant Show!  Amazing animals.

Thanks Mom and Dad... I had a great time! (Of course Lane would have no part in posing for any photo opps!)



Grants Farm Halloween Festival

Bell, Tangled, Captain Hook and the Crocodile!  All of Disney's Favorites!

Captain loves to feed the goats... from outside the fence of course!

It is soooo past the Croc's bedtime... he is over this night out!

Cutest couple award for sure!  These two could be trouble in a few years!

Fall Fun! Pumpkin Patch and just playing in the leaves

Blah, Blah, Blah!

I was sick with the stomach flu this week so a friend of mine took Noah in and out of preschool yesterday so that I wouldn't "spread" the germs.  When Noah got into the car I asked him how his day was, and of course he said the usual, "great mom".  So I inquired further, so what did you do today Noah?  Noah says "Well Mrs. Aman talked a lot, we had centers, snack, recess and blah, blah, blah...".  I was so stuck on the blah, blah, blah part I had to ask again, his response "you know mom, a bunch of stuff, blah, blah, blah!"  I wonder who he gets that from:)
