October 31, 2014. Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great halloween this year. The kids were so excited and have been looking forward to  this holiday for over a month now! They all looked great in their costumes and had a blast trick or treating! Both Sophie and Collin went with friends this year and were just about the last trick or treaters out there! Such a fun holiday!

The kids really wanted Logan and I to dress up this year, so Logan decided that we would dress up as each other. He looked fabulous as a pregnant me! It made me laugh every-time I looked at him, and the trick or treaters didn't quite know what to think! It was lots of fun!

October 10, 2014. Pumpkin Patch!

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch last weekend! They loved it and had so much fun. They always look forward to our yearly visit to pick out our pumpkins.  Sophie had a cute little checklist put together to ensure that she found just the right pumpkin. Things like: Is it round? Does it weigh enough? Is it the right color orange? It was cute and I think she eventually found her perfect one! Usually we tell the kids they have to be able to carry their pumpkin, but this year Logan said they could get whichever one they wanted. All of them, except for Lyla, chose really big ones! 

After our hay ride and pumpkin picking, the kids had a great time running around and going down the slides. Lyla was having the time of her life going down the slides over and over and over again. Collin tried his hand at the corn launcher and won us a free pumpkin by hitting the target right on! We even tried the corn maze this year! The kids had a blast and Logan and I enjoyed watching them have so much fun! Such a great time of year!

Each year I like to get a shot of all the kids together by the pumpkins. This year however, our usual spot was super crowded and Lyla wanted nothing to do with having her picture taken. The other 3 were happy to oblige, although they all are a little spacey! :)

October 31, 2013. Happy Halloween!

The kids were so excited for Halloween! Sophie wanted to make her own costume this year and she did a great job! She was a raccoon! One of our sweet neighbors painted the kids faces making their costumes complete! They all looked so cute! 

Sophie and Collin wanted to trick or treat with friends this year and had such a great time! Collin could have stayed out all night. Logan and I took the little girls out. They did our street and then they were ready to be done. We spent the rest of the night handing out candy and the kids ate a bunch of their loot! 

October 28, 2013. Carving Pumpkins.

The kids love carving pumpkins. Sophie and Collin were old enough to help carve their own this year. They love picking out their pattern and seeing it come to life on their pumpkin! I forget every year how much work it is to gut 4 pumpkins! Such a fun night.

October 25, 2013. Lagoon Trail.

We had such a beautiful fall this year. One evening we headed to one our our favorite spots for walking, the Lagoon Trail. The leaves were amazing, and the kids had so much fun running around in them. It was a nice afternoon/evening as a family.

October 2, 2013. Pumpkin Patch!

Ruby's cute little pre-school class took a trip to a pumpkin patch! Lyla and I tagged along and we all had a blast! My kids love this particular pumpkin patch and the big kids kept asking me to check them out of school so that they could come too! 

Choosing the perfect pumpkin was the highlight of the trip along with the wagon ride out to the patch. But the kids also enjoyed train rides, slides, and swings! It was a fun morning!

Pumpkin Patch.

We visited the pumpkin patch this week. The kids were so excited to get their pumpkins. It makes me laugh watching them try to carry their own. Ruby only lasted long enough for me to get her picture. She thought hers was soooo heavy! I just love her strained face as she clings onto the heavy thing. After we got our pumpkins we enjoyed some yummy kettle corn and the kids ran around to all the slides and rode the train. Even little Lyla got in on the fun! She was such a mess when we got home. Such a gun night with my family. What more could I want?!?!
