Halloween, hayrides, and Sully's first date!

Happy Halloween! We had a GREAT week of Halloween adventures! We started out the week with Ansley dressing up for her Wednesday morning music class, then Wednesday evening we had a Halloween "Trunk or Treat" at church. People decorated their cars and handed out candy to the kids while they walked around the parking lot...it was super fun! Thursday was our annual Halloween party with our playgroup, and then Saturday it was finally Halloween! Pwetty, Pip, and Zizzie came over to see all the festivities and to walk around with the kiddos. Sully and Ansley had such a fun night. Unfortunately, they got a lot of candy...Brett is sitting on the couch eating some now...get it out of here! hahaha!!! Here are some pictures of all of our Halloween adventures.
Ansley and Turner dressed up at music class.

So...I started this blog about 2 weeks ago and never finished...it is now only a few days before Thanksgiving, so I thought it was time to finally get this blog finished and posted. :) Here are some pictures...enjoy!

Sully and Ansley with their buddies at church---notice how Ansley was trying to be sneaky in taking Turner's goldfish. Naughty! :)
Zizzie came to "Trunk or Treat" with us! Fun night! :)
Picture time with the Kloeckers (our neighbors 2 houses down) before Trick or Treating on Halloween night! Ansley was really into James' hat!

Ansley LOVED Trick or Treating!

Sully and Ansley with all of their playgroup buddies at their Halloween party! Can't believe this is their 4th Halloween party together!!!

Sully and Malley's date
For Malley's birthday, Sully took Malley to see a play (Peter Pan) and then out to dinner at Chick-fil-A. He came to the door with flowers and showered her with love all afternoon. They both LOVED the play and it was a super fun afternoon. What a special day to celebrate Malley's birthday!


Sully's field trip
Sully's preschool class went on a field trip to Cagle's Dairy Farm a few weeks ago. Ansley stayed back and played with a friend so Sully and I could spend a special day together with his class. It was a fun morning. :)
Sully on the hayride.
He fed the baby cows. LOVED that part! :) Sully's classSully and Mommy!

Trip to the GA Aquarium!
We usually make 2 trips to the aquarium a year...this was our fall trip...the kids had a super fun day! :)
I couldn't get any good pictures of the kids...so you can just picture in your mind the excitement on their faces! :)

Sully's Last Soccer Game
Last weekend was Sully's last soccer game of the season. He won the "Most Improved" award and scored his first goal at the last game!!! We were so proud of him...he came a LONG way from the start of the season and he had a great time playing with Matthew and his new soccer buddies. We are looking forward to the Spring season already. :)
Sully and his trophy!

While Sully was eating donuts and celebrating with his friends, Ansley and Daddy were walking around the pond...I snapped some pictures of my favorite little girl and my wonderful husband. :)
Ansley!! Her bangs are finally starting to grow out! Wish she would let me put a cute bow or something in her hair to keep them out of her eyes! :)
Ansley and Daddy! :)

Zooma 1/2 Marathon!
With my running buddies, I competed in only my 2nd 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago! It was a VERY hilly course, much to our surprise, but a great race overall. I was 2nd in my age group and 8th out of 753 runners! I think I am going to start running 1/2s more often...I enjoy this distance and I have done a few now to know better how to train and how to set some goals. I think we might do one in Nashville this Spring...or at least just to have an excuse for a girls weekend away from home! :)

Pre-race...

Post race!
I am finally caught up with pictures...enjoy this blog...hopefully, I will be better during the holiday season! Happy Thanksgiving!

xxoo, Tracy, Brett, Sullivan, and Ansley xxoo
