Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween festivities lasted for about three days. Jackson was able to wear his costume to school on Thursday. Friday was a Teacher Workday- so no school for him. He spent the day with Gramma which he was overly excited about. Sarah and Adam wore their costumes to school on Friday and went Trick or Treating in downtown Burlington. It was a chilly morning, but the kids had lots of fun!

This is the best picture I have been able to get of Sarah. She did not like being a Tinker Bell.

More solemn looks from Sarah.

Adam was enjoying being Thomas the Train and getting candy.

Our town decided to celebrate Halloween on Saturday. Kevin took the boys trick-or -treating, and Sarah and I stayed at home to hand out candy.

Trying to get a picture of the three of them. Sarah did not want to cooperate. Maybe next year???

Sarah has dropped her wings and is trying to run!

Adam had no problem posing.

What are these pumpkins for?

Darth Vader, aka Jackson.

What? You needed this candy?

This was the look I got every time I came back in from the porch. She didn't understand what was going on. I started out taking her with me but she would scream when she saw the children in masks. If I headed down the steps to meet the little Trick-or-Treaters, she would cry thinking I was leaving her. In her defense, by the end of the night she was running a fever. She laid around all day today. I'm guessing it's her ears again. My hope is that this will clear up quickly since she has had tubes put in her ears. Thank goodness we return to the ENT this week.

Catching up...Again

I must apologize again for not posting in a very long time. I will try and catch you up to the happenings in the Faircloth household since the middle of August. Since then, school started back, Kevin celebrated another birthday, we went camping, Sarah turned one, and Jackson finished yet another soccer season. It has been a whirlwind of a few months. I cannot believe we are at the end of October.

Jackson's first day of second grade.

Kevin's birthday cake.

Getting ready to go to dinner for Daddy's birthday.

The three of them loved Kevin's present, Rock Band. Sarah plays the drums, Adam, the guitar, and Jackson sings.

Adam and Sarah had to start going to daycare right after Labor Day. Adam was all excited.

Poor Sarah didn't know what to think!

We went camping on Kerr Lake at the Shiloh Ministries campground.

We are hoping that pole dancing is not in her future. I think she really liked the idea that she could "walk" around in circles without falling.

The campground hosted a fall festival. Adam is trying his hand at the pinata.

Sarah turned one! She celebrated at home and then again the next weekend at the lake.

Ooh! Cake. I love this stuff!

Look! I got a birthday card and I want everyone to see it. Forget those presents, check out my card!

I finally got some baby dolls (three to be exact and she plays with every single one of them). No more playing with those boy toys!

We took some pictures in our yard after church one Sunday. I was really trying to get one of Sarah's dress but Adam and Jackson wanted some of them, too.

Adam and his "cheese" smile. I don't think he think he can smile with his eyes open. This was the best I could get.

A handsome little boy growing up way too fast!
