Halloween 2016


 There were two butterflies, a blue ninja, and a storm trooper who had a fabulous Halloween at our house this year. The ninja took his posing very seriously.

 That's one sweet Storm Trooper.
He saw this costume at Walmart, and that was it. Search over.

 Again...poses...serious business

CHF Field Trip 2016

In October, the kids' school headed out to one of our fall favorites, Cedar Hill Farms. It was fun {and quite interesting} this year, because all four kiddos got to go. It was definitely an all hands on deck situation, and I was thankful Mike was able to take off of work and head out with us. It was a fun day with friends, lots of dust {it hadn't rained in weeks}, pig races, zip lines, and some pumpkins and a donut to go. That's a recipe for a great day!

and it's so fun that they are all in class together!

Getting older and going to school means more fun! From birthday celebrations to dress up days, we had fun partying it up this fall!

Birthday breakfast for the six-year-old

His Kinder teacher doesn't play. That dum-dum bouquet lasted weeks.

Teams Day...Supporting our Texas teams!

Community Helper Day in 4K. Ben requested to be a mailman, and he was just SO STINKIN CUTE.

Max's class made Shape Robots. He was so proud of this little guy!

Addie and Emmie go to the Dentist

Back in September, Addie and Emmie made their first trip to the dentist. I wasn't super worried, because our dental hygienist happens to be our neighbor and good friend. However...you just never know how it's going to go! I was glad that, despite a worried look or two at the beginning, they both did really well. Now if I can just remember to floss their teeth!

 Emmie in the chair and all ready to go!

 Open wide!

The McDs Go to Preschool

August was a big month in our family, because all four kiddos started school/preschool this year. It has been a fun and busy adjustment for our family {trying to be in three classrooms for parties at the same time should be some sort of Olympic sport...yes I'm being dramatic}, but it has been great. The kids really enjoy their classes, we love their teachers and school, and they have learned so much! During carpool, one of the teachers took to calling them The McDonough Crew when calling for them. The kids took notice, and the name has stuck. They call themselves The McDonough Crew now, and it's kind of adorable.

Just a quick look back at the beginning of the year...

Max was so excited to be a big Kindergarten man!

Although they are all at the same school, Max actually started Kinder the day 
before the other three started. 

We snapped a few pictures to commemorate the big day.

He was just a tad excited.

The other kids started the next day with the same results...a whole lot of excitement. I was thankful they posed for a few sweet pictures for me.

Little Miss Addie took a dive into her headboard a couple days before school started, so she was sporting a mean looking bruise on her forehead.

And yes...I made sure they had their names on them to help their kind teacher {who has two sets of twins this year}.


Silly Faces...


And a couple of cute brothers!

Looking back at these pictures, it's hard to believe a whole semester has already come and gone. Here's to many {soooo many} more in the years to come!
