There have been a lot of festive things going on here in
Mayberry as of late. We've had trunking,
treating, parties, and ½ birthdays.
On Wednesday our church, First Baptist, had its annual “trick
or trunk’’. You better believe the Lamar’s
were in attendance. We love an
activity. What wasn't so strongly loved was John
Brantley’s feelings towards the headgear that complimented his outfit.
Presenting… Spider-Man and Bugs Bunny!!!
Ford and his buddy, Langston
Pops and the boys
Sometimes we needed to sample the candy as we were hopping
from car to car at “trick or trunk”.
Trick or trunk was big fun and we loaded up on the candy for
sure. As if we really needed any!!! Then Friday came and wouldn't you know the
real deal Halloween was here. My friend,
Rosy, invited some folks over for snacks and playing before we braved the cold
and wind.
I think my boys could have stayed at her house, but it was
on to more treating.
Can you see the sheer aggravation the head piece caused the
little man???
This little dude usually said, “tricky teat”.
Ahhhh there’s nothing like pulling up to a house with “Alf”
on the front porch waiting on the little treaters. Naturally, mine had no clue about this
character, and Bitty wasn’t getting out of the car. I am beyond shocked he would take a picture
with the “Mean Moose” as he called him!
And last, but not least, we had classroom parties. When I arrived at Ford’s school they were
having a little trick or treating at some of the big kids’ cars. I thought this was super cute and sweet. Then I learned that Ford’s high school
football buddy, Grant #73,was out
there. Apparently, Grant goes and reads
to Ford’s class occasionally and Ford thinks he is as cool as sliced
bread. So like any good momma would do,
I took a picture!
Piñatas are fun!
And Bitty’s class had a party too. I didn’t attend this one. It was more of a glorified snack than a
party. My Tuesdays and Thursdays
mornings are sacred to me. Both boys are
at school and I am in HIGH GEAR trying to clean and do productive things. Since no parents attended the party, I just
sent a camera for his teacher to take a few pictures!
Ahhhhhh and like any goober mom, I like to celebrate random
things….half birthdays to be exact. Let me
first explain myself. Children have
always enjoyed sharing their birthdays at school with their classmates. Moms send snacks and the kid gets to feel
special. I never had that. Being that I am born in July all my friends
were out for summer break. I didn’t get
to celebrate at school. So my mom, Gran,
would send cupcakes in January on my HALF birthday. Genius, I know!!! I got my special in!!! Soooo I think half birthdays are a BIG deal,
and today (11/1) is Ford’s 5 ½ year old birthday. We celebrated with a special breakfast and décor. He was pleased. Can you tell???
