Small Group Party and Pictures

Saturday night we had a party at the Brewer's and had a great time. We wanted to get pictures of all the children together and all of them in their Halloween costumes, so you can only imagine what might have transpired that evening! First let me just say - we never got any of the children in their costumes... Logan had spent the night with Mimi and I-dada, so he was very tired even though he had taken a nap already. He was sooo cranky while we were at the party. All he did was whine and cry. He NEVER does stuff like that and lately it has happened a couple of times when I least expect it. I'm not sure what his deal is...
Since he was so cranky, I didn't even mess with him to try and get pictures. He was content walking around pushing and playing with Cooper's toys.

He loved the lawnmower!
Landree was so sweet. She tried to entice Logan into being interested in the pumpkins, but that didn't work. Logan found a ride on 4-wheeler, but got a little scared when he pushed the button and it rode by itself. He wasn't having any part in that.
The pictures...

Cooper didn't want to sit on the hay anymore than Logan. His mom was behind the hay trying to make him stay - you can see Nuggets tail behind it. These pictures were so comical. Our children are going to look at these situations and know how abused they were having to pose for all these pictures together!Logan and Daddy watching the pictures from a distance
Landree still sharing the pumpkins with Cooper.
Jennifer was taking most of the pictures, so Patrick got this cute one of her. Landree was on a mission to find someone else to share the pumpkin with.
Michael trying to get Cooper to have his picture made with the Auburn helmet and shirt.
We should have made Michael sit in front of our scene! Future Auburn football player!
Jennifer the photographer
Logan found another toy to play with. Daddy had to push him around forever!
This captures the true chaos we endured...Logan wanted nothing to do with posing, so he walked around with the toys. I finally tried to hide them, but he spotted them quickly!
Cooper rolling down the hill... Landree tried to ride the tractor and Logan in this picture is trying to push her off...
Sweet little Camryn actually cooperated...
Then, Logan wanted to play with the flowers.
So, we got some pictures of him. I actually had trick him into writing on the pumpkins with chalk. It's the only way I could get him even near the hay scene.
This picture was funny... Logan was crying, Landree ran away and so did Cooper. The other three just sat there waiting on all of us to grab our children and get them back...whew - why do we do this to ourselves???Finally - a good group shot!!! It's Caleb, Landree, Logan, Camryn, Layne, and Cooper.
All the boys roasting hot dogs. We even had s'mores later. They were so yummy!!!
Cooper and Layne going head to head with the trucks.
Sweet little Camryn off on her own.

We had so much fun spending some time with Small Group. We just love being a part of such a special group of people!!!

You are definitely right, I think our kids will look back at these pictures and wonder why we were so crazy about wanting to get them together for a group shot. At least we got a few cute ones. :)

It was such a fun time. Caleb is still talking about the fire that Michael built and that it was awesome!

Also, I think that Jennifer's mom and Michael's mom really had fun "babysitting" Hampton. :)
