Daddy Daughter Date Night

Chick-Fil-A put on a Daddy Daughter Date night! Here is Maggie with her favorite fast food chain celebrity - - - > The Chick-Fil-A Cow. Maggie asked the cow to join us on a horse-drawn carriage ride.
The horse-drawn carriage!
Chick-Fil-A went all out for Daddy Daughter Date Night. When we arrived we were greeted by a host who sat us at a fancy table with fancy place mates and a table cloth. As they were seating us they gave Maggie a rose and a miniature Chick-Fil-A cow. Within just a few moments a man named Sean came by to take our order, and he informed us that when it came time to for dessert that we could have anything from the dessert menu for free! And that's not all ...throughout our meal we enjoyed beautiful harp music because Chick-Fil-A had hired a harpist to play in the restaurant that evening!

I love you Magz! You're priceless!!! Let's do it again sometime.

Just in case...

Just in case you thought our kids were the only cute ones, here's proof that Tyler and I have it going on too. We went to a halloween party Saturday night, the theme was "musical couples," and so Tyler and I went as the Blues Brothers. I wore some tall boots so I could tower over Tyler in his fat suit. We looked pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Okay not as cute as a lion and bat, but pretty close.

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a very enjoyable halloween weekend, we sure did! Without further ado, grandparents, I present to you...
Drum roll please...a "smooth" bat(dubbed by Maggie because of the cape's fine fabric) and a lion dressed to kill (recently awoken from his nap).

Spreading her bat wings.
Every halloween (since we've had kids) we have gone trick or treating with our good pals the Dyers only after enjoying a delicious bowl of home made chili. This year was no different. Here are our cute kiddos dressed up for an exciting evening of collecting candy and spreading cuteness to all peoples.
The little guys opted for the wagon ride.
But, the big girls trekked onward by foot. What a fun night, thanks Dyers!
CANDY!!!

pumpkins and super heroes

Last week we had some fun kid events going on in Charlotte, starting with a trip to the pumpkin patch with Maggie's pre-school class on Tuesday. Henry and I (Carrie) tagged along for the fun at Hunter's farm. Here we are admiring a similar tractor to the one that was about to pull us on a hay ride.
One of Maggie's teachers, Ms Evelyn, showing her the cool variety of gourds offered at the farm.

Then Thursday night we headed to Chick-fil-a for super hero night and got ourselves some free chicken! Henry is still pretty terrified of the cow, but not bat girl.
We love chick-fil-a, especially when it's free,
Henry may have been afraid of the cow but he has no fear when it comes to nerf guns. I attempted to show him how to use it properly and in the middle of my demonstration Henry hit a little spider man on the forehead with his nerf dart. It was pretty funny, and no worries spider man deflected it with his super powers and no one was hurt.

2 cool...

Here are a few fun pics from Henry's birthday last week. We celebrated with friends on his actual birthday and then headed to SC for some fun with the fam on Saturday(and to watch USC beat Bama)!
Henry opened presents first thing on Oct. 7th and also enjoyed some yummy birthday pancakes.
And he quickly got to work playing with his fun new gifts.
Thursday night we had a few friends over for some cake and cookie. Maggie offers her Vanna pose to present the sugary goodness.

Three cheers for friends!
and cool costumes from friends...
Then off to Poppa and Grandma's house for some fun with the family.
A party truly isn't complete without our cousin Brody.
Grandma delivered an awesome party for Henry complete with a Thomas cupcake cake and Thomas hats, plates and lots more. Henry loved it! Thanks so much Grandma for making our little guy feel so special.
