PeninsulaMommies Fall Festival and Costume Party

We celebrated Halloween with our PeninsulaMommies friends this past weekend. This was our Fall Festival and Costume Party. We had a HUGE potluck with Fall foods, lots of crafts for the kids, a cake decorating contest, parents and kids Mummy wrap game.... and we ended the whole thing with Trunk or Treat outside. Unfortunately the only thing I managed to get pics of is the Trunk or Treat part :( But someone did manage to get a pic of me in my Pippi Longstocking costume, haha!

Khaki Ball

Since my parents were in town we had great babysitters for the khaki ball ;) They even kept the kids overnight so that we could stay at the very NICE Renaissance Hotel where the Ball was held. It was a wonderful break for mommy and daddy to have a night AWAY from all the munchkins!! MY MAMA helped me pick out the dress. Isn't it pretty!! Unfortunately I don't know how to scan pictures so the professional pic that we had taken at the ball is not on my computer yet. But here is the one that mom took before we left. Jason's uniform was at work, so he wasn't dressed when we left.

Newport News Fall Festival

The same weekend my parents were visiting we also went to the Newport News Fall Festival. We have lived here 2.5 years and never gone to this festival, and we were MISSING OUT!! It was a great festival. Even got to see the Green Grass Cloggers!! And it really made me miss dancing!!!

Fishing with Papaw

Mamaw and Papaw visited with us this last weekend. The boys got a special treat when Papaw took them both out to the Pier in Yorktown to fish. I was soooo surprised at what patient little fishermen I have. They fished for a couple of hours without complaints or whining. They were both very excited the whole of our fishing trip. That sat quietly on the pier and reeled there line in every once in awhile. Gabriel was the only one of us that caught anything. But getting "Bites" on our line kept the rest of us going. Gabriel however caught a small fish, just his size, and a crab. The crab was a bit scary... even to mommy. I wasn't quite sure how to get the crab off the line. But thankfully a more experienced salt water fisherman was talking to us at the time and helped us out with the crab. We finished off our fishing trip with a walk down to Ben and Jerry's, MMMmmmmm!!!!
