Halloween 2011

Halloween fell on a Monday this year.  Molly's class had a party at school and she took her costume to wear when they did a parade to the nursing home and back.  Ellie had her first day of hanging out at our friend Kayla's house since Ms Stacy had her surgery and daycare is closed until she gets back on her feet.  Kayla has 3 kids and 2 of them are there during the day for Ellie to play with.  They have lots of toys and a swing in their backyard...so Ellie thinks their house is the BEST!  Kara, that helps at daycare, has been nice enough to watch some of our kids at our houses while daycare is closed.  It has been an answered prayer for sure!


Molly wore her Halloween shirt and some LittleMissMatched socks.  She said some kids told her that her socks didn't match and instead of saying "that's how they are supposed to be"  she said she told them "well that's what my Mom dressed me in"  Lol ! 

Ellie wore her Halloween shirt to Kayla's house.  She was pumped to wear socks with smiling candy corn on them.  Oh the little things!  :-)   I had an early meeting in Dodge on Monday so I picked Ellie up early and we rested before getting ready to Tricker Treat. 


We visited Grandma Candy's house first.  Papa Tom was on the truck so Grandma sent him pictures of these scary little witches.

We went into town with a trailer Joe fixed up with straw bales and pulled by the Polaris Ranger.  We picked up the Girks first then over to get the Woolfolks.  Baby Lyla got on for the picture, then stayed home to hand out candy with her grandparents.

Ellie didn't want to let go of her bucket all night!

Molly was the good witch that claimed she was a bad witch!

Eli was a fireman and Isaac was his dalmatian puppy

Cooper was Buzz Lightyear and Ryder was Woody from Toy Story

Here's a picture of our Halloween ride!  Next year we will have to decorate with lights, streamers and balloons!

The girls were so tired when we got home that they took baths and didn't even want to eat a piece of candy.  They went straight to bed and fell asleep in minutes!  It was lots of fun riding around with our friends!  The night was perfect and just a little chilly.  We might just need a few more bales next year since Lyla will 1 years old and our Baby will be 11 months!  Hard to believe!

Colorado Family Trip Day #1

Image
Well I haven't blogged in years, but have missed it so much!  Life is crazy and I want to be able to look back at all the fun we have had.  Last week, we headed to the mountains in Cuchara, CO.  We have vacationed with Joe's family to this tiny town since Molly was our only Murphy grandkid (now there are 8!). We left early Wednesday morning and we are beyond thankful that we have such great little travelers!  We made it 4 hours with NO stops.  That's amazing for all of us! Everyone beat us out there.  So we had a warm welcome from Doug, Ben & Tracy (Parker -3 and Evie 1) and Grandma Candy and Papa Tom. The cabin has a giant deck that we spend most of our time on.  There is nothing better than a cup of coffee in the morning out in the cool mountain air. Evie is now walking everywhere and smiles all the time.  It took some warming up to us, but we all won her over (until her parents were around, then she wanted them)....

Family Fun Night

Image
  The other night the girls planned a Family Fun night for us!  We played air hockey (I won!), sang karaoke and watched some shows.  I asked the girls what they wanted to eat at the Family Fun night.  They said Hot Wings!   Lol.  Our neighbors (Dale Family Farms) sells their beef, pork and chicken from their shop at the farm.  It's so convenient to run down the road and get some wings.  Joe seasons them up with some olive oil and seasoning salt.  Grills them and dips them a few times in a mixture of Frank's Wing Sauce and butter.   I finish them under the broiler to crisp up the skin.  The wings we get at DFF are big and meaty!   I roasted some potatoes and cut up some fruit to go with our hot wings.  I should say that they are not too spicy at all.  It's always fun to eat downstairs since I'm a stickler for only eating at the dining room table or at the bar! It is fun that the girls still enjoy our company! I know th...
