We have had such a fun day with Nana & Poppa today! This morning the kids had fun hanging out at home and playing with Nana & Poppa. Carson rode his bike and showed Nana and Poppa some of his gymnastics skills on the monkey bars. Jamie spent time practicing writing her letters and numbers, one of her favorite things to do lately.

Later in the morning, Nana helped me get the kids dressed, ready and in one spot to try to get a Christmas card picture this morning. This was a huge feat! I am so happy to have it done and check it off the list! I took 55 pictures and got only a few usable ones. The one I picked had two out of three kids smiling and all of them looking in the same general direction. I'll take it! Woohoo!

After that we went to Walmart, where Nana bought the kids some treats. Caleb picked out a plastic pumpkin, some practice golf balls, a coloring book, and some mini M&Ms. Jamie chose a doll, a Dora coloring pad, and a plastic pumpkin. Carson got Pokemon cards, his latest obsession. They were all thrilled with their prizes. We headed to Sonic to pick up lunch and then home.

Caleb took a nap after we got home while the big kids played with Nana and Poppa. When he woke up, we headed to the pumpkin patch at Caleb's preschool for some more family fun. The kids all agreed on a pumpkin for the family, then Nana got them each a small pumpkin to take home. We left Poppa at home so he could enjoy the UGA game in peace.

We came home, and Vic grilled some yummy burgers. The people across the street had a haunted trail in their backyard tonight. It was supposed to be over at 9:00, but it looks like it is still going on now. Sounds like everyone is having a good time over there. Vic and Poppa were the only ones brave enough to go through it around here. They said it was fun. I'll take their word for it. :)

Off to visit with Nana and Poppa now that the kids are asleep!
