After the Gator game tonight, we celebrated Halloween with our annual hayride with friends. (and new friends, too - some people we didn't even know and their kids ended up on our trailer along with us!) ha! The more the merrier, right??
But, first....Nicholas had to finish our jack-o-lantern.
Our glamorous movie-star....
Our camo'd-ninja....
Tonight was award night at the field. We are one of the few FoOtBaLl teams still practicing, as most teams' season has finished. So, lucky for our boys, their practice was cut short tonight. :)
Our pics stink from tonight. B was trying to take them, but there were people EVERYWHERE! So, I'm gonna have to steal borrow some from the organization's photographer. :)
The best we had of the girls...
And, yes, I'm sad to say, this is the best we have of the boys! :( Nicholas' weird/funny face - and all! ha! 
Perfect pictures or not...we are definetly making memories that will last a lifetime!
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. 
God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.
He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all 
The yucky stuff - including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. 
Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside
you to shine for all the world to see. 
We received our butterflies...well, our caterpillars today. Ya' know those kits you buy for $20-$25 and still have to send in a check for $5 for them to send you live bugs?? Well, the kids have had the Butterfly Garden for two years now [I CAN NOT BELIEVE I JUST ADMITTED THAT!] ha! And this momma just mailed in the $5 check a few weeks ago! :X
So...here they are. In their containers. We are to leave them in these out of direct sunlight until the cacoons have formed. (about a week) We'll see........
(I can't keep a plant alive - hopefully I can follow these simple directions and grow butterflies!) ;)
We knew we would have a great time, but we had no idea the treat we were in for going to Dakin Dairy Farm yesterday! Great friends, an incredible tour guide and a fun atmosphere made for a DAY.OF.FUN!!
Tour of the farm and the process of MILK, corn maze, hayride, roasting hotdogs and marshmellows, feeding cows, pig races, making butter and cream and playing on the hay bales are just some of the fun things we did..........
Mag's squad had practice yesterday at 4pm (yes, after a full day of FoOtBaLl)to practice, roll hair and just have some girly fun with each other. Traci's husband, Kenny, even took the girls for a ride on the swamp buggy! 
These sweet girls (and awesomely dedicated coaches) have worked so hard, and the day was finally here! A full-day of Pop Warner cheer competition at the Germain Arena in Ft Myers. 
(I WILL get this video loaded - just pictures could never do this day justice!)
Today's game was played raising money for Cancer Awareness. Each team raised money and everyone got in the spirit. It was great to see such a large group come together to support such a good cause...that's close to so many of our hearts.
All of the boys wore pink socks, like the NFL this month.
The sign we all love to see......
