Fall Random

Sorry I've been MIA for almost a month! I've gone through my pictures from the last few weeks for a catch-up post.

Oct. 28- Happy Atley girl!

Oct. 29- Abby and I went with my dad to a dental conference in St. Louis

Oct. 31- Nora got "The Book With No Pictures" for her birthday from Abby and Alex

They LOVE it! It's hilarious!

Nov. 2- Nora's last tumbling class, doing a "back flip"!

Nov. 3- Nora is almost as big as the puzzle!

Nov. 6- Jared made me a birthday brownie! Nora thinks I'm 6 years old, so my brownie had to have a 6 :)

My birthday dinner at Monicals (with a couple extra kids!)

Nov. 7- Nora's first time getting her nails done!

Beautiful girl!

We had Nora's birthday party on Saturday (the 31st). We had a fox, scooby-doo, Princess Elsa, Princess Belle, 2 medieval princesses, 2 medieval knights, phantom of the opera, a league of their own baseball player, Hero (from Big Hero 6), a wolf and a skunk in attendance! I think all the kids had a great time. Or at least I hope they did!

We started with snacks and cupcakes!

Trick or Treat

Trick or treat night was last night (Halloween night). The weather was awful, but that didn't stop the fun had by our fox and wolf. The skunk and I stayed home to hand out candy. The amount of candy we have in our house right now is obnoxious! It's crazy! WAY too much candy over here!

Cute little skunk, watching out the window :)

Nora is ready to go

It was a soggy night, but Ethan didn't care.

A wet fox came to trick or treat at my door!

Haha!

Dried off and checking out their haul.

Happy Halloween from the Collier kids!

Boo at the Zoo 2015

Our annual Boo at the Zoo trip was on Friday night. We went with our neighbors, the Paulsons, and had a great time! The weather was great and the kids came home with quite the bucket of goodies.
We went for woodland creatures this year. I don't know if they will always coordinate, but it sure is fun :)!
