Halloween

If you could not guess from the previous pictures.....Jack was Big AL for Halloween. He wore a gray jogging suit, a bama jersey, and a elephant hat made by mom.

He started the school day off at 8 AM trick-or-treating door to door at the school. He actually wore the hat to trick-or-treat!!! When the daycare kids came to my room I had to hide in the closet so he could come in my room and my kids could see him. If he sees me in the hall at school he starts crying for Mama.

He came home with lots of candy from school. However, we still had to take him trick-or-treating for Daddy. So we went to Opry Mills to trick-or-treat inside. First we ate at TGI Friday's the hostess loved the costume so much she asked what it would cost to make her one. One of the ladies at the table next to us went to the University of Alabama and she just had to take his picture.
So after a quick bite to eat the fun began. He walked most of the time and chewed on a twix in the wrapper. We really have never fed him candy so once he bit into the twix it went in the trash. Don't want him to get any cavities.





As we walked around we got lots of Roll Tides and look at the cute Alabama Elephant. I think Jack had on the best costume. He just liked walking around with all the other kids. He finally got tired and laid on the floor. Over all it was a great night.


Over the weekend we went to the outlets in Lebanon to do some shopping. The night before we had eaten at Famous Dave's and I order Jack a grilled cheese. Of course he did not eat any of it. So the next day at the outlets we had pizza and I did not order him any. I have tried to feed him pizza rolls in the past and he would not eat them. Well guess who ate some of my pizza and Daddy's pizza. He just loved it.


He really liked to sit on the fun rides you see in the background. However, when I put the quarters in and it starts moving he wants off.

Homecoming

 Jacksonville State University had it's homecoming and Brent, Jack, and I had our homecoming to our old home. We have not missed a homecoming in 12 years so we could not miss this one.

Every little gamecock needs a gamecock hat so I just whipped one up. Of course it did not stay on his head very long. Thank goodness he would wear the hood because it was cool.
 We stopped by the pumpkin patch in Jacksonville. Last year Jack could only stand up when holding on to the pumpkin. This year  he tried to ride the pumpkins. He liked the little pumpkins also. Then we waited for the parade to start.

 Jack really liked the band playing. I tried to get him to turn around for a picture but he could not take his eyes off the ballerinas.

 Our wonderful ex-neighbors let us stay with them. Of course Jack loved playing when them. We miss having them as neighbors. Thank goodness Libby would wear the hat I made.

 Brent's friend Michel was the DJ and he let Jack DJ for a minute. Then we took our photo in front of the Zeta letters. I made these hats below for my friend Marybeth who is having twins. Some of my other friends were having a baby shower for her.


 However, we left before the shower and never made it back. We went to Mawmaw's (the lady who use to watch Jack) and just did not leave. Ian and Mrs. Erin came over to visit with Jack. He just loved swinging in the swing. He wanted to ride Ana's bike so bad. When we move we are going to have to get him a bike. We had a great time visiting with old friends. It was nice to go back "home".
