Happy Halloween!!!

We had a great Halloween this year! I think it continues to get better as the boys get older and can understand the concept more of trick or treating and getting dressed up in costumes. It was easy to convince them to be firefighters this year because we already had the costumes (hand me downs from my mom...thanks!) and they each had a stuffed dalmatian doggie already. Perfect accessories right? And they were good about me putting mustaches on them too (I think they look soooo cute and I did it last year when they were pirates) S did start saying he wanted to me Iron man and at one point he said he wanted to be a monster too...I guess next year we can let them decide, but they were good sports this year!

Pumpkin Patch

K and I got to go with S and his preschool class on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. The hayride was my favorite part because it was one of the longer hayrides I have ever been on at a pumpkin patch. We got to pick out three small pumpkins and had some delicious hot apple cider with chocolate chip cookies. Yum! I really liked this place and I am glad I know about it now for next year. We all had a good time! It was fun to see S interact with his preschool friends and his teachers.

I also included pictures of S carving the pumpkins with his daddy. I really should say he just watched because he did not want to touch the gooey insides of the pumpkins at all. Too funny!

Leaves are falling all around....

I am sooooo glad that our yard is small since we do have a lot of leaves from our big maple tree. I love watching the boys play in the leaves, so to me the raking is worth it. I also feel like raking leaves can be sort of therapeutic because you feel such a sense of accomplishment when the yard is all clean. We are loving fall!

Pumpkin Town

Again, this begins a series of posts where I have fallen behind. Here we go:
We had a fun playgroup to kick off our Halloween celebrating by going to Pumpkin Town. It was a nice crisp autumn day. My favorite type of fall weather! The kids were able to explore and run and enjoy themselves. Getting excited for Halloween!
