"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! Here is princess Belle herself. (oh and Mrs. Potts was her candy holder) Her favorite part was getting to wear "real" makeup. :) She talked about it for weeks! I had so much fun being her makeup artist and seeing her pure joy! My little angel is growing up... :( Our sweet frog loved his first Halloween!
Our weekend started off Friday night with our church's Fall Festival. Clark saw his buddy, Mase, dressed as a football. hehe!
Gigi and Papa stopped by to see the princess and the frog.
We saw precious piggie, Katie Mae.
The HUGE bounce house/slides were a BIG hit!
AnnMarie with the Steen/Webb crew
Next stop--face painting!
Our buddies, Mabry and Caleb
CANDY!!!!
There were tons of games to play. Now, this particular one grossed me out, but for some reason this is the only picture I got.
Another Belle---Lucy!
Brother lasted as long as he could... :)
Saturday night the Svobodas were here so Allison and I took AnnMarie to do some old fashioned trick or treating in our neighborhood. She loved it and felt so big getting to go out late while brother had to go to bed. But----the next day she told me she was soooo tired and that I shouldn't have taken her trick or treating so late. hmm! :)
