Monster Trucks!

Nathan and Charlotte got invited to go to the Monster Madness Truck show at AT&T Stadium. Noah and Nathan have been friends since Kindergarten. And now Charlotte and his little sister, Megan, are in the same class this year in Kindergarten. It was so nice of Noah and Megan's parents to invite Nathan and Charlotte. They also invited another friend of the boys, Cal, and another friend of the girls, Kendall. They were brave to have six kids with them! And the best part was that they left at noon and didn't get home until 11:00! Wayne and I watched several movies and just enjoyed our day/night together! They came home exhausted, with lots of souvenirs, and told us all about it the next day. Now they want to go every year!

Random Pictures

I'm A few of these pictures are older and I'm not sure if I posted them or not. I'm trying to be more organized with my pictures! The first is of Nathan and his best friend Drew from this summer. I just love Drew! During October, the kids had the chance to decorate a pumpkin from their favorite college. Nathan and Charlotte chose Arkansas! And a few pictures of their favorite furry friend, Rusty. Miss Charlotte loves to dress up and she loves these fake glasses of hers. She is so cute! And just a few weeks ago, our neighbor Miss Barbara was raking her leaves. Nathan and Charlotte love her and go over and talk to her whenever she is outside. When they saw her raking leaves, they wanted to go help. So sweet! Not only does Charlotte love to dress up, she has learned to fix a ponytail. She comes home after school everyday and will sometimes change clothes, put on some make up, paint her nails, or fix her hair in different styles. Well, she learned the hard way that a small round brush can be dangerous! Luckily, I was able to untangle it!!! Finally, Charlotte is getting to be such good friends with Adalynn, a little girl in her class. They are just alike! Adalynn and her parents invited Charlotte to go to Dave and Busters and then play at her house. Charlotte is still shy about hanging out with other parents she doesn't know well, but she was so excited to be with Adalynn! They picked her up at 5 and didn't get home til 10:45! Adalynn's mom kept texting me pictures and said they just weren't finished playing yet. And when they dropped her off, Adalynn started crying. I'm so happy for this little friendship to continue!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Charlotte has been waiting for this night FOREVER! The school has a Daddy Daughter dance every year. There is always a different theme. This year's theme was a western one. Well, Charlotte is my girly girl, and she told me she didn't want to wear cowboy stuff. She wanted a pretty dress. So we went shopping. I told her she could find a cute dress and then just wear her boots with it. She liked that idea. We went to the mall and tried on tons of dresses. This white lace dress was one of the first ones she tried on and she was in love as soon as she put it on!!! Nothing else compared in her mind. Wayne made this day so special for her. They planned on going with Skylar and her dad which Charlotte thought would be fun. Wayne made it like a real date. He picked her up at the front door and brought her red roses. She loved them so much. Then they went out to eat together. Jennifer and I took the boys out too. 

Charlotte told me that she was going to be so careful at dinner. Wayne said Skylar was trying to hand her a piece of pizza and dropped it on her dress. She was devastated! Even though it was an accident, she was so sad because they hadn't even gotten to the dance yet. But Wayne was quick thinking. He put a ton of water on it so the stain wouldn't stick and then went to Kroger to get a bleach pen! I couldn't believe he thought of that! He said by the time they got to the dance, you couldn't see the stain at all and she was so happy. Once they got to the dance, he said all of the girls just swarmed Charlotte! They had all been waiting for her to get there. And he said the girls just danced and played with each other while the dads talked. When Charlotte came home, she looked just as pretty as when she left and went on and on about how much fun she had.
