Happy Halloween

Well Halloween has come and gone already.  The month of October felt more like 2 weeks.  We have had so much going on between the move and all the fall festivities.  We finally are getting settled in our new house and we are really happy with it.  I think the kids love it too!  Hopefully we will be totally unpacked by Christmas ;)  The kids had a great Halloween week.  They had a fall carnival at school and got to wear their costumes, eat pizza, play games, ect.  The day before Halloween The Rentfro's had a Halloween party and we got all the kids together and in costume for the first time since they were babies.  We have doubled in the amount of kids in our group since then!!!  The kids decorated pumpkins, played pin the face on the pumpkin and jumped in the bouncy house.  Even Parker was able to partake in the fun this year. Thanks to Joe and Ursula for having us all over and making great memories :)  Halloween night we went trick or treating in our old neighborhood.  The kids were exhausted by the end of the night.  Rylee's aunt Kay Kay aka McKenzie came over to help and ended up carrying "Princess Rylee"  down the last street because her feet hurt.  Parker went up to a few doors but we put him in his stroller after he tried to go in someone's house.  ha ha

Rylee & Ferri (our neighbor)

Rylee trying to have a boot on like mommy!

Parker is really trying to communicate with us.  He points at things and  says "that" and also has little gibberish conversations with us.  He also growls at us.  SUCH A BOY.  Not sure that Rylee has ever growled ;)  She is helping out so much with her little brother.  So motherly and affectionate.  I am super glad they will have each other growing up and throughout their lives.  They will always have the other one's back.  Speaking of... Rylee got in trouble the other day and I put her in time out.  Parker walked up to her and gave her a huge hug.  It was SO amazing and brought a tear to my eye.  Sweet sweet baby boy!!!

Moving!

Rylee had the opportunity to dance at the Cajun Catfish Festival in Conroe a few weeks ago.  She also did this last year but this year she really shinned!  I have to say I think she did the best!!!  I was so proud of her.  She was looking out at the audience and smiling the whole time.  Side note...her dance teacher pulled me aside last week and was asking how old Rylee was and if she would be interested in bumping up to the next class.  She said she is really standing out and the teacher uses her as an example to show the other girls how to do the steps.  I was SO PROUD!  Although after thinking about it I opted to keep her in the class she is in.  I would rather her be the best in that class than the youngest and possibly not be able to keep up as well in the 5 year old class.  If this were academics I wouldn't want to hold her back but since this is just for fun I want her to continue feeling confident and enjoying the attention ;)   

She did SO GOOD!

Taking a bow

 I took the kids to a pumpkin patch this week.  Parker had so much fun exploring and even picked up a piece of goat pooh! : /  He loves being outside and checking out each and everything he passes.  This was also his first time in a swing.  He was laughing so hard and cried when I took him out. 

Parker's first Pumpkin Patch

I think she looks amazing in this pic

"Mom, this is heavy"

 So the big news..... we bought a new house!  It is something we have been looking at for a while and we decided it was to good of a deal to pass up.  We think it is perfect for our family and are very excited to about it.  Most of you know I broke my big toe 3 weeks ago and have to wear a special boot so moving should be interested to say the least.  The good news is the new house is only 6 min away from this one.  It is in Walden on Lake Conroe which is ironic for me of course since that was my last name for 26 years :)  My mom lives in Walden on Lake Houston.  funny.  The kids are really excited about their new rooms... well Rylee is ;)  Their rooms will be downstairs now so I AM SUPER stoked about not having to go up and down the stairs 400 times a day.  Hopefully we will be settled by Thanksgiving. I will send an email out with our new address.  The home phone will stay the same.  Wish us luck!!!
