Main Street Halloween Festival

Sorry for the glare, my camera on my cell isn't the best. Our beans soaking.She kept wanting to see the beans grow and I kept telling her "HG they take a long time".
Checking the beans out.

Her thank you letter to Mrs. Debbie

Ever wonder what we do late into the night??

Hide all make up, she loves it!

We braved the streets of Main Street last night with friends and family. Poppy drove over from Texarkana, Kristen & Debbie joined us, Justin, Jenna, Jax and Derc, Uncle Ryan, Jamie & Austin and then we surprised HG by Grand mommy & Grandaddy arriving. Mrs. Debbie brought HG a little gift that she is in love with. Strawberry Shortcake smells the same as it did when we were little girls. Too cute! Thanks Mrs. Debbie, you are always SO THOUGHTFUL!! I think once arriving we were a little shocked at the crowd. We knew it would be busy. It's a given. Grapevine is an awesome little community that really comes together on community events. But wow. We didn't even attempt the candy lines. They were from Dallas Street to Northwest hwy, the entire side of the shops. HG spotted the slides and corn maze and was happy as a bee. I didn't get a picture of Derc's costume but I will have Jenna email me one. The cutest little costume ever. Well, funny may be a better word. He has such a cute personality that it fit in perfectly.

We had dinner at Esparza's and was yummy as usual. The margaritas aren't too shabby either. :) It was getting late and the kids were all past their bed time so off we all went. Too bad we didn't have a big house to go to and put all the kids down so we could continue our good conversations. We'll have to do it again soon.

Poppy spent the night in HG's bed. I can't tell you how many times she would run down the hallway, open his door and run in for kisses. This was after he had fallen asleep. She was up using the potty, smelling up the entire house, went down and then up to tee tee again. While I LOVE that we are almost potty trained, I am not loving all the middle of the nights yet. We tried the Original Pancake House on William D Tate this morning and it was fantastic. If you live near the area, it is worth the drive. It has that real syrup smell when you walk in and the thick and big bacon. Poppy got a little of everything for us to try. I must say that the pecan waffles were great. The oatmeal was terrible but it wasn't later until I saw all the brown sugar and fruit toppings.

The rest of the day will fly by. I am hoping for a short nap from HG but I'm not holding my breath too much. We are running to do a few things to set up and then our Halloween Festival this afternoon. She is so excited about it. I figured she would want to wear her Tinkerbell but HG Monster is in the wash now because she was crying to it. Lovely.

Chris is off on Sunday and Monday so it will be great family time. I think he is getting sick. Yuk. He WILL have a flu shot this week even we if trick him into it. World Series is tomorrow night and I sure wish they had played better. I know a trip to storage is in store and possibly Weatherford. He is off again the following Saturday/Sunday so our weekends are much more enjoyable. Patrick's going away party is next Saturday so we might drive out to it. He would love it if his new boss was there. I'm not sure how many people know he signed on with Chris.

I'll post the pictures from last night after the festival.
