molly's first field trip!

so obviously, as bad as i hate it, molly is getting older. this year in her 4 yr old pre k class they took a field trip to Camp Lee's pumpkin patch. i couldn't go with her so her daddy went. of course i sent the camera and told him to take lots of pics and he did! daddy says that molly had an excellent time and was very well-behaved. she is so precious! hopefully this will be the beginning of molly becoming a daddy's girl. i really want her to be extra close to him. he is such a good daddy. molly did a hayride, got a snack, a story and a pumpkin. she had a great time!

michael jackson, a cowboy, a wolf ninja, and wonderwoman.....

with halloween fast approaching, i took the kids to pick out costumes. duke picked out some sort of wolf ninja (never heard of it) and molly picked out wonderwoman (super cute). they were sooooo excited about getting to dress up and trick or treat. the thing is, the morning of halloween, duke decided that everyone should dress up for trick or treating. imagine trying to find a costume on the morning of halloween. yeah, slim pickings. mother and i drove all over town trying to find us something without much luck, while papa, duke and molly searched for papa and chad's costume. after several hours of shopping, papa, duke, and molly turned up with a michael jackson costume for daddy and a disco style suit for papa. in the meantime, mother and i are searching frantically since we encouraged the men to dress up, we figured we would definately have to dress up. we didn't have much luck. mother ended up with some sort of scary mask and i borrowed a cowboy hat and a gun from duke and dressed as a cowboy. look as this mess! duke and molly loved it though and as always, that's all that mattered.
