First Firsts

I took the kids to Octoberfest, which is our square's First Friday this month!  We went early in hopes we could just meet Chad when we got home but, we ended up staying a couple of more hours because of all the fun activities they had for the kids!  My friend made Harry a shirt  and a dress for me so that we would have gear for the game! Her store is on our square and it was a good time to swing by and grab it!

 Harr loved fighting the knights! This group of men and women were hard core! They all acted like they really lived in that time period.

 Cupcake walk!

 Games and Georgia Kelley had play them too!

 Autograph from the Wal-Mart security dog!

 Snack time!

 Saturday morning I had to work but, I went ahead and let out and I wass able to squeeze in some of Harry's game! Then we geared up for Harry's first Razorback football game!  It was a treat to be able to take him and his Papa joined us!  Our friends, The McMennamys gave us tickets to the game and we were thrilled to be able to take Harry!  They are so generous and have treated us like family since we started attending church in Bentonville! Although they have moved, we keep in touch well!

 Georgia Kelley stayed behind with Sandy but we got a shot before we left her there!

 Harry loved tailgating with this best buddy!  Chad and I had fun too hanging out with our Hog loving friends!   I don't have any pictures of the clan.  Harry and Maddox played football the whole time with some other boys! So cute!

 I was also so happy to get to see my pregnant friend, Katie!  We didn't get near enough time together!

 How fun is this picture?  Harry said his favorite part of the game were the touchdowns! I am pretty sure that he is not alone! HA!

 My pal Marilyn!  Oh how I love her!  The man behind me said he has gone to every Razorback game for 60 years!  He said he and his wife have gone ice and rain! He did say it is getting hard to come.  So sweet!

 Harry hung on Papa most of the game!

 We were all at his beck and call!  Marilyn helped me watch him when he was a baby and I had to go back to work! I think mothering is her second nature!

We had the best time from the tailgating to the end of the game! I did NOT like the traffic afterwards!  Chad came home and re watched plays that he felt he missed being at the game!  He is a true fanatic!

First Friday Toyland

 I love this town! It's my kind of place! I think I have said that before!  I love the people, schools, churches, activities and most of all the square!  Our square is such a fun small town place to hang out at!  This First Friday was Toyland theme! All the Wal-Mart toy are vendors came with toys and give aways! It was a child's heaven!  We got there a little early and I am soooo glad we did!  It was crazy! I  didn't take pictures of all the toys that Harry played with but, you will get the idea! I have to admit that I am not a toy hoarder...I get rid of toys if they start taking up more room than they should. Harry picks out toys that he wants to give to kids who don't have toys....I know...I am so mean!  I think that may be why he loved this so much...he is deprived of toys!

 They had about 10 or 15 cars for kids to drive! Harry chose the convertible but, later said he wanted the four wheeler!

 He could have stayed at the Star Wars booth the entire time!  Kid LOVES that stuff!

 The Nerf booth was super cool!

 Georgia Kelley got to try out toys too!  She LOVED that part!

 I do NOT know why they did not ask me to be Barbie???  I am sure it is because my number isn't listed...

 We ran into Taylor and she racked up on the bling and princess loot! I can't wait until Georgia Kelley gets to experience this!

Sleepover

We decided about a month ago that we would host a sleepover for a few of Harry's friends!  I thought I could handle two boys and two girls...no more! The main reason is because the girls have been wanting to stay the night and I have told Jake for a year he could!  Lindsey's brother gets to stay the night with us  from time to time and it was her turn! Layla is also a special pal who enjoys her time with us.  These three kids are like family to us! We just love them to pieces!

Everyone got along great and they all enjoyed all the fun activities I had planned!

Painting their own portraits!  Eating pizza!

The boys wrestled and the girls cheered for Chad!

 We decorated cupcakes and a haunted house.  The house DID NOT turn out! They didn't mind!

 Never too many sprinkles!

 Hockey in the house!  Those boys can play hard!

 Decorating a pumpkin with glitter!

 Movie and a snack! They made their own popcorn, candy corn, marshmellow, M&M snacks!

 Look who fell asleep first with their snack!

The pictures are not in the best order but, we had a fab time! I will def do it again!  They were perfect!  Great stories!  They did have a debate on whose dad can fix more things! Harry did not partake in that one! It was great!
