GOULDING'S BIG TOP...

Better Late Than Never...

We had a Circus for Kaias Birthday this year.

I saw the idea on karaspartyideas.blogspot.com

We had booths with games, I ordered cheap little prizes off of oriental trading and got a few at the party store. We borrowed my mom's popcorn Machine and had lemonade and hot dogs. I also found a Big Top Cupcake Holder and Big Top Cupcake Liners. Then Dusky went and rented a Bounce House, which is always a hit. I feel bad that we didn't get more pictures. We were preoccupied. The best part was that ALL of the kids were outside playing games and Kaia was inside by herself playing with her new toys. Classic Kaia.

The Balloon Arch Entrance

The Booths

Dusky made a little contaption with PVC Pipe, then I got plastic table cloths and bunting to divide them. We had Duck Fishing, Face Painting, Ring Toss, & Ball Throw. They got tickets for all the games they played.

It started raining, so we all headed inside to open presents and by the time she was done, the rain was long gone. It worked out nicely.

True Love. haha

Sienna has the BIGGEST crush on Isaac. She follows him around and stares at him. She talked about him all the time. And she can pin him and make hime cry like you wouldn't believe. :)

Prizes

Naomi, Caitlyn, and Sarah came and helped with the booths.

Kaia got this paint set so this is them finger painting the next day.

Family Pictures

We had my mom take family pictures the other day in her back yard. It's really sad but these are the only pictures that we have of the whole family since eja was born. (except the one at her blessing and you can't even see her face)

This little girl loves to pose for pictures. Can you tell?

This one doesn't. Can you tell?

This one doesn't care. She's just happy to be here.

She just barely started eating baby food well.

It's interesting to try to get 3 little girls to all look and smile at the same time.

Halloween Time

Carrie and Dorie came out to join their lonely husbands for the weekend. The whole weekend was a big party. We started out friday night by having Naomi and Caitlyn tend all the kids while we went to a Halloween Party. It was a blast. Mercy, Emily, and Claire did a great job planning it. We all had to be dressed up (which you know Dusky LOVES). But I talked him into wearing his camoflauge and going as a hunter.

Zach and Dusky were hunters.

Tasha was a nurse

I was a Hippie

Jesse and Carrie were the walking dead

and Max and Dorie were nerds.

Max and Dories were a last minute costume and they were so hilarious. Max's glasses and pens in the shirt pocket were perfect. We gave Dorie a black eye so she could be a beat up nerd.

We had a big scavenger hunt, which we would have won but I'm a dummy and I forgot to add some of our points up. It was so fun anyways.

Zach the Hunter and Tasha the pregnant Nurse...

The Scavenger Hunt Begins....

We crammed Zach, Tasha, Max, Dorie, Jesse, Carrie, Dusky and I into our car and Dusky drove like a madman as usual.

They gave us clues that we had to decipher and we had to take a picture (with someone from our team in it) of all of our tasks

We had to take a picture by the Fayetteville sign

Take a picture by the hamster-who had to be running on it's wheel
Build a whole team pyramid (which was awesome with 2 pregos)

Take a picture with a fire truck and a fireman.

We knocked on their door, late at night, and the nice firemen let us come in and get a picture. I need to take them cookies.

Try on our favorite pair of shoes at payless

(I'm totally HOT!)

A guy had to put on the bright pink sports bra at Dicks

(Good job Max for stepping up on that one)

Get in the tub at Lowes

Get a picture of us LEGALLY crossing the cross walk at an intersection

Get a picture behind the counter at a fast food restaurant.

& Hug a stranger.

Way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone Dusky!!!

I'm pretty sure this lady was FREAKED out

Get a picture with a waiter at IHOP

There were a few other things that I don't have pictures of...They basically all include running around in public looking like idiots. I loved every second of it.

Then we all went back to the Forsyths, ate good food, looked at all the pictures on the big screen tv, and tallied up scores. THey even had prized for the winners.

The next day we took Jessie, Carrie, Max & Dorie around Senoia. WE ate at the Red Neck Gourmet and walked through all of the cute little shops. Then we came home, gave the kids naps, and got ready for our LAME trick-or-treating.

Woody-the Cowboy

Jessie-The Cowgirl (In the making)

Jesse and cute little Lexi-Fairy Princess

What a cutie Pie

The Butterfly-Nothing like a fat suit to put on your fat baby. It was the cutest thing EVER!

The Whole Gang

I thought it would be a good idea to go to the Avenues for Trick-or-Treating this year. It wasn't. I will know better next year. There were so many people. Everyone was waiting in line for 30 minutes to get 1 stinkin' piece of candy. So we just walked down to Marble Slab Creamery and got ice cream instead.

She loved the little hat that squoze her cheeks because she could suck on it all day long.

SKyler-The Dalmation

Sienna really enjoyed her ice cream-to the last drop

Then we all came back to our house and had a BBQ.
