Halloween weekend in Arkansas

Bruce had to work some Saturday, so we didn't get as early a start as hoped, but off to Arkansas we went and got to Manila before dark!!! Yay! This was our first of many stops, this one to trick-or-treat with nephews Cal and Cort (aka Mario & Luigi). Walker (the transformer - extended family) came by as well! We had lots of fun!!!

Then over to visit Grandma Wright in Leachville and work off some sugar. I think she was happy to see us, and happier to see us go!!! Lessons learned at grandma Wright's house: a plunger will stick to nearly any body part (head, back, belly, etc), it will pick up a three year old a few inches off the ground if stuck to their back, it will NOT pick up an adult.
Then over to Grammi & PawPaw's house for a sleepover. We got up in the morning and had a very yummy breakfast of sausage, bacon (pizza as Ashtyn called it), biscuits, gravy, cereal, scrambled eggs. With Ashtyn around, you never know what she's going to say or want so there's always a good selection prepared.

Sunday we were able to visit our church and see our friends. We miss them SO much. And a couple of very tiny/not there, but growing bellies! C'mon ladies - I was expecting a LOT more. And then out to eat with them at Ta Molly's. YUM! We don't have one of those here that I've found yet so I was missing it a lot. Ashtyn was starting to crash, laying in my lap, when we discovered a Romeo in the group. Tate thought this would be a good time to lay a kiss on her, actually a couple to be exact!! Too sweet!!! Then the crankies got the group and we had to break up the fun.

We headed back to Bay for a little candy sorting, more sorting, resorting, and singing for Grammi & PawPaw. I hate that we had to cut our visit short, but we had to pick up Bruce's boss at the airport at 5:20 (flight didn't get there until 5:50). So Ashtyn had a nice long nap and we had some peace and quiet during our drive home. She was just tuckered out. Can't say I blame her. Despite the long/late nap, she still went out last night with ease. Thank goodness. I was tuckered, too.

It was a great weekend!!!! We're just sad it had to end...
