Halloween Festivities!

Halloween, of course was even better this year...1. Because I was not 10 months pregnant, waddling around the neighborhood and 2.  Maddon was so in to it, whereas last year he was not so sure about the whole thing and I couldn't even get him to wear his costume.  So not the case this year!  The week was filled with parties, pumpkin carving, and of course trick-or-treating!!!

 Maddon got to go trick-or treating at his school as a warm-up before the weekend!  Here is his sweet little class listening to Mrs. Colleen tell a story!

Maddon loved to scoop out the "guts" of the pumpkin!










 He was so proud of the finished product!
We even enjoyed Grammy and Grampy's neighborhood Halloween party!!!




Finally the pinata bursts!!!
Yay for hayrides!!!




Our sweet little kitty cat!!!
Maddon was in serious trick-or-treat mode here!!!



Aw...how sweet!  Addison is Maddon's little friend!!!
Colbie enjoying her first lollipop with her daddy!

Colbie and Maddon playing together!

Well, we have finally reached the time/age where Colbie is trying to play with Maddon, but actually just "steals" his toys.  I am sure it will only continue to get more interesting from here!  The kids are at such fun ages.  I love to just sit back and watch them interact!!!

 Colbie just loves to get herself into any small tight place she can find...so funny!
 Look at that face!!!

Testing out Maddon's Halloween costume somehow led to the construction of a NASA Spaceship!!!!

Maddon rarely has a day where he does not ask to try on his astronaut spacesuit (Halloween costume).  He is actually sleeping in it tonight!!!  Well, today he asked if we could build a real space ship that shoots fire and really "blasts off".  I told him I would do my best to make him the best spaceship ever.  Here is what I came up with!!!!  Glad my three-year-old is not too critical of my artistic ability!




We got to witness history!!!!

Charlie and I had the best time ever Friday night at Game 6 of the ACLS.  We cheered on the Rangers standing the entire game with our friends Brad and Andrew.  It was the most unbelievable experience when they WON the game!  Cheering, fireworks, high fives, Ginger-ale spraying, confetti flying, need I say more.  One of the best nights of all times!!!!  Here are some pictures of Game 6.  Way to go Rangers!  We hope to see you at during the World Series!

Lots of Claws and Antlers!!!


This was the last pitch of the game before A-Rod struck out!!!  Love it!!!
It felt like 4th of July!!!

The stadium was exploding with cheers!

Confetti that felt like a blizzard of snow!!!

The team celebrating with each other!
Rangers giving props to all the fans!!!

Victory lap!!!!
Biggest party in the parking lot with crazy fans!!!!

Getting ready for Halloween!!!

Ranger fever, Frog fever, and Halloween fever is the name of the game around the Schulz household!  We have been fortunate enough to go see the Rangers play with Maddon while Grammy and Grampy kept Colbie.  We also got to enjoy the TCU game last weekend without any kiddos!  Then, on Sunday we enjoyed a beautiful October day at the Pumpkin Patch!  Maddon and Colbie are such happy and energetic kids, we just love to see their faces light up at everything they see and do.  Maddon is so excited for Halloween this year.  He cannot wait to carve his pumpkin and has had a hard time understanding why he can't do it "right now"!  Enjoy the pics!
