The Smith Family: October 2011

Trick or Treating

As soon it was time to get the candy, Cate grabbed her pumpkin pail and she was out the door! The weather was so nice that night.

1st stop, The Whitfileds. We had a lot of fun with her little Wizard of Oz door.

For the first time ever, Cate was NOT shy. She was going to get her candy!

Mary and Maggie had special surprises for the girls.

Preschool Halloween Party

The 4's Class was fired up for Halloween. We had so much fun parading around downtown Mexico and Trick or Treating!

Go Cards!

The St. Louis Cardinals WON the WORLD SERIES LAST NIGHT! We are off the park to play and celebrate!

Club Halloween Party/Hayride

Cora was so excited our neighbor Lizzy came to the party! They played pass the pumpkin and wrap the mummy together.

Cate was excited, well to eat Chocolate. She could not get enough of the Hershey bars at the Bonfire.

Costumes

Cora and Cate tried on thier costumes. Cate was not having it and cried most of the 5 minutes she was in her lady bug costume:( Poor baby. Cora really had fun being Hannah Montana.

The weekend had finally come! MU 100th Homecoming! The weather was perfect and it was so good to hang with the girls again! We started the weekend out right with an afternoon on the patio at Flatbranch. We also scored the best table at Harpo's and enjoyed cocktails, front row to the MU Band playing the fight sound, and Ellie and Jen brought us BOOCHES burgers. It was heaven.

Preschool Field Trip

Cora's 4 Preschool class took a field trip to Scattering Fork Outdoor Center. They took a nice fall hike that ended with an awesome surprise!

Whoa, check out this BIG leaf MOM!

We found several frogs too!

We got to go INSIDE! So cool! Here is Cora getting ready to lie down on deer hide as the Indians would have done. They also made corn meal by hitting corn with a rock.

Cora's 4 Hannah Montana Party

Cora J is 4! She picked a Rock Star Hannah Montana and ART party to celebrate!

Everybody got a canvas to create thier own masterpiece.

Rock Star tatoos baby!

It is not a party without cousin EMILY.

Grandma Smith surprised Cora with a Hannah Montana Karaoke machine! You could sing and watch yourself on TV!

Brock star had the leaf pile jump of the day! Cate cheered him on.

Neighbor Mary and dog Maggie came to the party too:)

Blowing out her candles. She told Aunt Sis exactly what she wanted her cake to look and it was surprisingly cute.

Namesake Grandmother Cora rocking out at 100 years.

Thanks a million for the CAKE Aunt Sis!

Pumpkin Painting

Our Club had a Pumpkin Painting event. It was right up Cora's alley.

Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival

Our 1st time to Hartsburg was to celebrate Cora's birthday weekend. We heard they had Pony rides, but it was better! Horse back riding! Cora was on TOP OF THE WORLD!
