Fall

 We have had the most beautiful fall. Cool nights and mornings and gorgeous afternoons and evenings. We love to play outside this time of year since it's the perfect temperature and the skies are blue. Here's what we've been up to.

 Miss Brooklyn is becoming quite the ipad guru. She has given up naps most days so after an hour or so of quiet time she gets to play ipad for a while.

Hudson lined up all his dirty outside trucks a few weeks ago and gave them all a good wash. He can occupy himself for quite a while outside.

 A couple weeks ago our town had a morning of activities and vendors out on Main Street. Kevin was golfing so I met some friends downtown and we walked around for a while. The kids got to decorate pumpkins....

 ....and their faces..

It took a lot of scrubbing to get rid of the tiger face!

 I got to go with Morgan's class on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. They all had a great time. It's always fun to watch all the kids interact with each other and listen to their conversations on the bus. She really has a great class.

 A few days later I took Hudson and Brooklyn back to the same pumpkin patch. It's the same one we've gone to for the past several years. I almost didn't take them, I don't always love the pumpkin patch because it's usally so hot and dusty. However the temperatures have cooled off nicely and I'm so glad I took them. We had a great time together. Here we are on the hay ride.

They spend a lot of time jumping on the "hay trampoline" They had it to themselves for quite a while before the preschool field trip was over.

 The pumpkin patch has several of these cutout photo ops and H and B had to stop and pose at each one:)

 Then it was time to carve the pumpkins....it's always a little chaotic....but I reminded Kevin that we are making memories!

The library had a special holloween storytime so we headed there with Annika and Audrey in full costume, it was lots of fun!

 Come halloween night Hudson and Brooklyn changed from Spiderman to a dinosaur and from a ballarina to a princess. Then we we had Morgan as a cat and Ethan as a pirate. The picture above is just to give you a little peek into what happened before the cute smiley pictures below:) And we only got those because our neighbor threatened to take away the candy he gave them if they didn't smile:)

We went trick or treating around my parent's neighborhood and then we headed to church for some trunk or treating. My mom was a good sport and dressed up for the kids. Lots of candy and some hyper kiddos!
