Halloween Activities

We had a very busy Halloween weekend. First, the fun started at Winthrop with a Halloween festival & trick-or-treating in the dorms. I was Nemo so I asked Mommy & Daddy to be sharks. Mommy made these sharks all by herself- I was impressed.

Emerson is too cute to be a shark so he was a little pumpkin

I make Nemo look good, don't I?

Mommy & Emerson were ready to go trick-or-treating!

Watch out, there is a shark behind me! Oh, it's just Daddy.

Emerson is not sure what to think of all the costumes

This fish got to fish for goodies

See what I caught!

Then, I got to create a cool Halloween picture

I really wanted to get this kitty painted on my face & I was specific about the colors

For the weekend, we drove to Conway/Myrtle Beach to see Memphis and celebrate Great-Grandma Azile's birthday. Memphis was a cute witch & my second costume choice was a firewoman!

Proud to be a firewoman

There were yummy cupcakes at the birthday party

And spooky music to dance to

I brought along my fire dog, but he wasn't too happy in his costume. Eeyore, aka Mimsi, tried to calm him down

The birthday girl was happy to have all her great-grandchildren together: Aunt Heidi, holding Emerson, Memphis, me & Cody

Emerson was knocked out from all the excitement

Pops and Mimsi were great hosts

I thought no one was looking when I invaded the trick-or-treat pumpkin to put into my Lightning basket..

Thanks, Mommy, for being my fellow firewoman!

Memphis says "Cheese!"

Furman Homecoming

Since it is only about a 2 hour drive, we headed down to Furman University for their homecoming football game. It was my first football game!! I was worried about the noise, but it wasn't too bad.

I got my pom-pom to cheer on the Palladins

I seem to know what to do with it instantly

Mommy showed me a fun way to add some "hair" to our heads

She was not afraid to try it too (& I snapped the picture!)

Here's the picture I took of Emerson, Daddy & Dr. Edwards, who is retiring this year

Daddy and I were matching in our "diamond" sweaters

Daddy was excited to show me around the campus where he went to school. I was excited to see the ducks.

The football game was exciting, but did not end well for Furman

Our friends, Marshall & Mary Jones, shared seats with us and Mary was happy to hold baby Emerson when it got too loud and cover his ears. Thanks for a fun time!!

I love pumpkins

My school, Macfeat, took us on a field trip to a pumpkin patch. Thanks to the Winthrop police for escorting us on the walk. This is Delaney- she is one of my best friends.

I was on the search for the perfect one- check out the white pumpkins!

What an adorable class!

I think this is the one

It's mine!

I picked this baby one for Emerson

They have all different shaped ones

I was so excited to have my cousin Mikayla join us there!

We pose very well for the camera

Giving Emerson his pumpkin, but he couldn't see it

Check out how I can write my name now!

Time for a cousins picture for Grandpa and Grandma Gette! Mikayla and I were happy to have our little brothers, Landon and Emerson join us

I love to touch my baby brother

Emerson found a perfect size pumpkin to hold him for his solo photo shoot

Not sure if he is enjoying it..

I think it's a little too bumpy for him

Not sure if a bed of pumpkins is very comfortable

But the big ones make a perfect chair!!

Cherry Place Farm= Fall fun!

Just down the road from our house is a great farm, Cherry Place, where we enjoyed a day of fun! Don't get lost in a corn maze!

Thanks to our friends, Ms. Kim & Kaitlyn, for going on this expedition with us- we made it to the tower in the middle!

We made it out!

Next, it was onto a game of checkers in the barn

Then, we did some work loading the trucks

There were some cute baby pumpkins that needed to be adopted

Look at my cute baby pumpkin that I chose

Then, I decorated her

She was weighed- 1 lb exactly and I named her Katie

I think my smile says it all- I had so much fun!

I especially enjoyed the company of my great friend, Kaitlyn

Emerson had a great time too- we went on his first hayride!

It took us to a real pumpkin patch where I made a silly face

We are good at cheesing for the camera

Just me and my baby pumpkin on the swing

And again on the hay by the tractor- what a perfect way to spend a gorgeous fall day!

First Volleyball game

My school, Macfeat, had a family day at the women's Winthrop Volleyball game. I had fun sharing popcorn with my friends, Maddie & Lina.

Then, we moved onto fruit snacks...

Emerson had a great time relaxing in Mrs. Watson's arms (she teaches Kindergarten)
