New buttons on the sidebar!

I've gone a little crazy with making buttons for my blog! Come check them out and see just a few of my passions (or at least interests) in life. :)

(For those who are not blog-savvy, a "button" is an image with a link to another web site of a particular thing someone is interested in.)

Jayla's 4th parade....or is it her 5th?

I'm losing count! This was her first parade with the GS troop she is in this year. Nothing really unusual, so I'll just show you the pics. :) I didn't see Jayla until she was just past me, so I couldn't get any pictures of her! I yelled her name and she looked at me and said hi, but there were too many people around her and a tall GS leader right behind her. :(

High School Musical-type float.....very cute!

A local church with the theme "There's no future in drugs"....my personal fav. :)

I think the Masons are at every parade!

Gathering candy is the most exciting part! I've got to laugh though.....the theme of the parade is "Say no to drugs", so they just load them up on SUGAR! And no one sees a problem with this? LOL!

I'm starting Jack's sugar addiction early. Here he is with another sucker!

After the parade we made our way to a nearby park for a GS picnic and play time! I would have taken more pictures but my batteries were dead! Grrrr!!!!

Not the best picture of our lunch. This was just before cleanup!

Look at that face! LOL! He was showing off for the camera! :)

pumpkin chucking

This was with a local church children's group. Jonathan was really whiny for this event for some reason, so he didn't enjoy it as much. He was actually so bad that I had to send him to the van! He was just having a bad day. :( Jayla and Jacob had a blast though. I'm only posting the video of Jayla's pumpkin since the others didn't hit any targets.

Jonathan the photographer

And right after lunch, we headed back home.....Jonathan had the camera in the back seat! He took several shots of traffic and bridges, but most of them are blurry, so I'll just post the ones that turned out good. He's such a nut!

Church halloween alternative

Thursday night, at the church where the kids go to AWANA.

The frog catapult game.


Jonathan

Jacob (he was just laying there...LOL)

Jayla

The barrel ride

Myles was making this face because Jack was hitting him or something.

My friend Mandie's kids, minus Lily. She was too busy to stop for a picture!

Grandma!!!

We had a quick lunch with Grandma on Thursday while she was in town. I can't believe I forgot to put Jack in the picture! I think he was preoccupied with a straw at the time.

Silly Sock Day

Wednesday evening at AWANA was "Silly Sock Day" this week. Well, we just have plain old boring white socks around here. We were going to use them as gloves, hair ties, etc. but then we got another idea....

One of the AWANA leaders told Jonathan last week to paint some socks on. He told him he didn't think his Mom would like that! LOL! But then I thought of FACE paint! Perfect!

Jonathan and Jayla did almost all of theirs completely on their own. I did Jacob's socks, but then he "improved" on them. :)
