Fall Festivities

What a blast we have had enjoying some beautiful fall weather and activities with family and friends. Right before Halloween we took Mia to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin. Ethan kept sitting real still with all the pumpkins and wanting Mia to pick him up and then act surprised b/c he wasn't really a pumpkin. hilarious! Then daddy carved the pumpkin with us and Jillian stuck her hands right inside that gooey mess! Check out the pictures of the tie dyed halloween shirts they made with him, too! We had a wonderful day with Miss Jen and Alexa at a huge festival at Hudsander farms. We played games, ate yummy food, rode a train made of barrels, went on a hayride and Ethan, Alexa and I finished the 25 minute corn maze!

My Turkeys made Turkeys

In preparing for Thansgiving the kids did a great clay project at the local pottery place. They rolled each part separately, including the outline of their hand in clay and then attached! I love the way they painted with such nice fall colors. What an awesome keepsake to try to preserve and set out for years to come each holiday season as the kids grow!

Happy Halloween

Halloween was a real hoot this year with both kids fully embracing and enjoying with each other and their friends! Ethan was the friendliest pirate ever and Jillian the cutest Belle around. Thank you Mia for helping us get ready. She told Poppy that he had to be the beast as he carried her around the neighborhood! We now have more candy than we know what to do with as they dad a huge round with Dad too-but lucky for us they don't ask to eat a lot at a time. Friends below joined us for part of the walk-Alexa, Brayden, Hunter and Lilllian!
