boo at the zoo

on halloween i sponsored reese's class field trip to the fw zoo. although we got off to a rough start, it was a beautiful day. by rough start i mean...i introduced myself to the kids in my group and asked one of the boys his name. he replied, "you don't need to know my name." as i prayed to Jesus for patience, i assured this young man that no fun would be had that day until his attitude had vanished. he completely changed his attitude after our heart to heart and we had a really fun day. here are some pics!

here is my crew (plus jackson)

this is a gorgeous red oak that i look forward to seeing change colors each year

the orangutans kept us very entertained. this one walked out looking like a ghost (on halloween) then walked around like he was a king . we even saw two orangutans kiss! the kiddos thought it was so funny!

may the force be with you!

we went to a fun halloween party on saturday night. i know i am biased, but i have never seen two more handsome jedi knights! reese was dressed as lucy from narnia and mackenzie was nastia liukin. i was a lame cowgirl dressed in my usual western attire. there are pictures roaming about the internet of me with a very large belly. no, i am not pregnant. apparently i just need to run more frequently.

my favorite little guy

okay so maybe he's not that little, but i was dressing jackson for our run this morning and i couldn't resist posting a pic of him. how cute is he all bundled up?! i also added a pic of him helping daddy get the car into the garage. as you can tell by his attire, it was taken earlier in the week before the cold front blew in.

its that time of year

each year we go as a family to an aggie football game. yesterday we took the kiddos to see the aggies play kansas state. as a pre-game tradition, we went to gattiland and ate 'all you can eat' pizza and 'all you can drink' slurpees. i am proud to say that the errington family did our best to completely consume the entire supply of cola and cherry slurpees that gattis had to offer. our family total was 12 slurpees. not surprisingly, i put away more than the rest of my crew (4). i have been training for this all of my life. although the score was not what we would have liked at the end, the game was fun and the kids were great! please note: jackson was marooned out before his mid-day blowout. i had to go purchase him a new outfit.

jackson's freshman wildcat

jackson was great! he seemed to enjoy the band most of all.

the girls wanted to go play on the field after the game
