More Fun At The Cox Farm in Cairo
We had so much fun in the paddle boat. I would love to have on of these.
Me and Amy by a really pretty tree.
Me as Annie Oakley.
Alex shooting at a tin can. He hit it several times before knocking it into the pond.
Memah and Pop rocked on the swing most of the afternoon.

More Pictures From Thanksgiving
A little croquet tourney between the cousins was in order.
Sidney Grace posing with the soccer ball.
The golf cart rides have become an annual activity that the kids love.
Nicholas loved Amy's wreath cookie things. They were good but they made his mouth green.
Alex had eaten one of the green wreaths also.

A Redneck Thanksgiving
The kids talked Nana into playing a game of checkers with them before dinner.
No true redneck Thanksgiving is complete with out gun fire and rattlesnakes.

The snake is dead but his body continued to move for quite a while. Creepy!!!!
This is where Amy spotted the rattlesnake swimming across the pond. Ronnie went and got his gun and shot it after it came up on the opposite bank.

Halloween
Here are the kiddos getting ready to go out trick-or-treating. Alex was a zombie, Sidney Grace was Bat Girl and Nicholas was a warlock.
Alex made a great zombie. We made his costume ourselves. After going to Goodwill to find a big shirt we took it home and shreaded it. Then we rubbed it around in the dirt and dripped fake blood over the "stab" wounds. He had on quite a bit of make up and we put baby powder in his hair to make it look dusty and gray. Then we put gel in his hair and messed it up. He looked really great!

Flag Football Party
Nicholas' Upward flag football team finished their season with a party that included hotdogs, chips, drinks and cupcakes.
Nicholas and his coach had fun picking at each other during the party.
During the party each player was given an Upward backpack to keep. Nicholas was very proud of his.
At the end of the party the team got to shave their coaches head. He made them a deal that if they won a game then they could shave his head and... they did it. Bye, bye hair!!!! :)
