Ten on Ten: Stack It Up

It's that time again already. Has it really been a month? Here's my second stab at Ten on Ten. This time I decided to challenge myself and stick to the theme of "stacks".

Making lunches.

Getting ready.

Bible study.

Laundry.

Stuffed stack.

 

Building a fire.

Playing.

Dinner time.

Home grouping.

Revenge of the Si(x)th

This year for Halloween, the boys dressed up as Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi.   We were also invited to a birthday party for this sweet guy...

our friend Micah, who was turning six.  Micah and Ethan also dressed up as Jedi, so on this halloween, it was pretty safe to say that the Force was with us!

Here's a few shots I captured at the party...

If there's an instrument, he'll find it!

Time to trick or treat!

 

 

 

Thanks to the Bachs for a super fun day!

PS. Here are our jack o lanterns... I was going to do a separate post, but Blogger is making me crazy and I'm all done with it!

Can you tell that Star Wars is still really big at our house?

To The Batcave, Robin!

Landon's Kindergarten class had a bat party as a "sort of" halloween party.  (They aren't really allowed to do Halloween parties in our district.) The class has been learning about bats over the last few weeks.  Lots of little bat projects have been adorning our fridge lately!  I was able to volunteer for the party and Landon was very excited to get to have me there at his first school party.

The Patch

This year we decided to try out a new pumpkin patch called Thomasson Farm.  They have lots of fun activities for the kids to do and it is really affordable. Of course, I took a million pictures.  The kids would not even humor me by the end.  But here are a few of my favorites.

Ten on Ten: 10.10.10

OK, I'm gonna take a stab at this Ten on Ten deal.  Here's the concept: Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month.    And I figured, what better day to start than 10.10.10?! So check back each month to see what I captured on the tenth!

Hello Arizona...Where's all the cactus?!

A couple weekends ago I was pretty fortunate to be able to enjoy a fun, relaxing weekend in Arizona with some pretty awesome ladies.  This was my first time in Arizona and I have to say that it was pretty great.

 

We soaked up as much sun as we could!

We read A LOT!  Amy and I both read "The Help" on this trip.

We ate some In & Out Burger.

 We shopped!

We played cards on the patio at 10pm at night.  Love that!

 We ate out at some yummy restaurants.

I had always pictured Arizona being laden with a plentiful amount of cactus.  Well it was the night before we left and we had hardly seen ANY!  So outside this restaurant, we finally found some!  But the funny thing is, you see that smaller cactus behind me to the left?  Well, I sort of sat on it.  Not a good plan, by the way.  It did however provide us with some great times... picture my dear friend Amy tediously picking cactus "pokies" (for lack of a better term) out of my backside while the other girls laughed hysterically.  Good times, indeed. (Random useful tip: Use duct tape to get cactus pokies out of your clothes!)

Thanks Bell family for an amazing place to stay!  And thanks girls, for an awesome trip to remember!
