Halloween...Mossybrook Style

Today was day full of trick or treating! We started off in the town where Jason's office is and did trick or treating there. Jason and his assistant, Maggie were passing out candy. It was so fun to see him at his little booth. He looked so cute passing out candy and they both did a great job! From there we came home for a few minutes and then it was time to go out trick or treating around our neighborhood. We went to a few houses and then we stopped off at our next door neighbors house for a Halloween Party! It was really fun! They have Brunswick stew that every year that Jason talks about all year long! (I don't make that!) Then there is always a big reveal of what the neighbors are going to be! They dress up every year and this year was nothing short of an absolutely awesome pull off! Every year it just keeps getting better. It is always a huge secret and everyone wants to know what they are going to be! You will just have to look at the pictures below to understand! Happy Halloween!

Headed out trick or treating...MG had to stop off at our house first and get a sucker for the trip!

Pumpkin Carving Fun

Tonight we carved out pumpkin! This year McKenzie really enjoyed it and understood what we were doing! We baked the seeds and salted some and put cinnamon and sugar on some. The sweet ones were the best! McKenzie thought that was really neat that you could eat the seed of the pumpkin. Happy carving to your family!

ELC Fall Party

Today was McKenzie's Fall Party at her school. It was at 9:30 this morning. That is a really hard time to have "party food" for little kids. McKenzie was not hungry at all and did not eat much. Her party was fun and she enjoyed me being there. However, it is very hard for me to be there because she just wants me all the time. She does not want to do things with her class. So, it made it kind of hard. Hopefully, as the year goes on the parties will be easier for her! It was fun to go to her class and see all her friends! They are all so sweet and cute! I just love the little school that she goes to!

Silly face!

Cheese!

Her little place mat they made! So sweet!


This is McKenzie's fall picture from her school! I am so happy how it turned out!

Burt's Farm and Amicalola Falls

Today we had a family outing with our Life Group (Sunday School Class). Amber and Tate met us there. They were supposed to be having an outing with a friend but the friend got sick so they joined in with us! We went to a pumpkin patch and to a State Park to see a beautiful waterfall. We had a picnic lunch. It was the most perfect day, about 75 degrees, sunny and a gorgeous October sky! McKenzie and Tate were inseparable the entire day. They held hands, took a hayride, shared popcorn, picked out pumpkins and ran all over together! They are so sweet together these days. They were both so good and just loved being with the other. It was such a fun day!

Nurse Maid's Elbow

Last night as we were leaving for church, Jason was holding MG's hand walking toward the car. For some reason McKenzie decided to fall to the ground without letting go of Jason's hand. He heard a pop and she started screaming. She cried most of the way to church but stopped before we got there. I took her to her class and told her teacher what happened. I wanted to see what she would do in class, if she would just forget about it and play or if it really still hurt. So about half way through church last night, the preschool director came and got me. She said that MG had not used her arm at all. So off we went to the urgent care. The doctor that we saw was so nice! I loved him. He played with McKenzie's doll and everything trying to get her to use her arm. He diagnosed her with nurse maid's elbow. That is where the elbow pops out of joint and stretches the ligaments in her arm. It is very common in children because their mussels are not very strong yet. However, it is very painful and sore afterwards. This morning she did not want to do anything but rock and just complained that her arm hurt still. However, this afternoon she woke up from a great nap and announced that her arm no longer hurts. She has begun to use it again! Never a dull moment here!

Fall Flowers

Monday, Jason and McKenzie planted all the flowers for fall at our house. It was so sweet to see them outside doing that. McKenzie loves to help her Daddy outside in the yard any chance she gets.
