Happy Halloween!

October 31, 2022

It’s going to be a spook-tacular Monday! My crew got to go first found with costumes on Friday last week for Boo Bash at school. We had a very glamorous movie star…

The carpool area at school had been decorated in a Big Top Theme all week for HallowEEK and it was really unbelievable! I spent the majority of the weekend before helping to put it all together. So much creativity and talent went into this!

Amazing!! You can even click here to take a virtual drive through carpool to see it all lit up with the 6th graders dressed up! After school Thursday we turned the carpool drive through into Boo Bash with lots of fun games and rides and, of course, lots of candy! Full Boo Bash pics coming tomorrow!

Happy Halloween!!!!

HallowEEK and pumpkin fun

October 28, 2022

The Halloween fun is in full swing over here! The kids have had HallowEEK at school all week with different dress up themes each day. Samantha got dressed for neon day but didn’t make it to school – strep struck…

The boys had on some neon…no Maxwell pic. I was dealing with Bible Club and pitiful Samantha and never even saw him that morning!

I got some crowns for the boys to wear. Spencer posed for a pic but his crown didn’t make it to school. Maxwell actually took one to school but I never got a pic. Oh well!

Samantha and Maxwell also made pumpkins for the contest at school and at Robert’s work. Maxwell worked so hard on his Darth Maul pumpkin…

Spooky and awesome!! and Samantha and I worked together to make this happy hula girl!

Amazing! We were particularly proud of the arms we made!

She entered hers at school and didn’t win. She was robbed but that’s ok. Maybe she and Maxwell will both take home the prize at Robert’s office!

Now we’re ready for Boo Bash at school today! Lots and lots of Halloween fun!!

Disney day 3

October 14, 2022

On our 3rd day at Disney we had to go without the VIP Guide but I managed to figure out the Genie+ system and we had a great day! We started with a breakfast of champions…

I guess everyone was feeling a little blue about it being our last day…

epcot

ha! I do love a good color coordination. Ready to take on Epcot!

We made it there in time for our Lightning Lane pass for the new Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster. We had no idea what to expect and it was AMAZING!! Really just about the most fun roller coaster I’ve ever been on!

We also found churros for all! Success!

I also managed to snag a spot in the virtual queue to ride Guardians of the Galaxy again that evening. GJ and Spencer once again decided the call of the hotel was too tempting and headed back to get some dinner and relax. Maxwell, Samantha, and I took off to explore the countries in Epcot for 2 hours before it was time to get on the ride.

We got on the ride about 5:45 and it was well worth the wait!! So. Much. Fun!!

We then took our tired selves back to the hotel…

The next morning we had to say goodbye to GJ as we flew back to Birmingham.
