October Fun

This October we not only had visitors, but it was Halloween. We had a lot of fun going around and the girls loved dressing up.... Well, Arlee did.

Arlee went as Mirada on Brave for dance class and music
time. This is Arlee's dance partner, Lucy. Aren't they so
cute?

That Saturday  we went to the Thompson Farm. It is in our
area and a total blast. The kids loved every part of it!

Lydia is so goofy these days. Her personality is really
starting to come out. I love to see the things she does.

They had a pumpkin cannon and apple cannon. All the kids loved this.

Landon and Lydia on a mission to get to the hay ride. 

Zoey and Arlee being goofy

It doesn't look like it in this picture, but Lydia loved this ride.

Let the hunt begin. They had a great pumpkin patch. 

I think she may have found hers.

"This one is yours mom!" She picked a great one. I loved
the shape of it. 

Arlee and Zoey having a race. This was a lot of fun to see their competitve
side shine through. They had a lot of fun competing.

Of course, the dads can't let the kids have all the fun! Hahaha

I loved all the activities that they had there. What a blast.

YEEEE-HAAAWWWW!!!

Like a mentioned before.... Personality!!!!!!

And some more of it. She was refusing to look at me for
a picture. Then when I would put it down she would
laugh at me. Crazy girl.

Arlee was relaxing while waiting for the train ride.This
was her favorite part she says.

After the train ride we headed home and got ready for a Halloween party.

We are going to suck your blood.

We got so many compliments on our costumes.  

The girls had to stay home. This was a couples party
and it was a blast!

This was the day before Halloween. Arlee was Mavis,
Hans was Drac, I was Drac's wife and Lydia was Mavis,
but in bat form. We were Hotel Transylvania! We
attempted to make Arlee's hair black, but it was a lot
lighter than Hans'', which in turn made it really hard
and kind of a mess.

The day of Halloween she opted to be a Black Cat instead.
That was a lot easier. Why don't I have a picture of that?
Because I am a slacker mom. DANG IT!

We weren't able to decorate our pumpkins yet. So even
though it was Nov. 1st we did it any way. I am not really a
fan of carving pumpkins so I thought I would just
decorate mine with the candy that no one really likes. Arlee
could see the fun in all of this. Naturally she wanted to do
the same. Pretty good, right?

Hans is die hard.... He carved 2. One happens to be Arlee's.

Our neighbor had us come over and decorate pumpkins with her the day
after my mom and sister left. They are the ones on the end. We loved do
this with her and her family. I swear we have the coolest people to hang out
with up here. They just adopt us into their families and we love it. I am not
shy about going either. We would miss out on so many experiences if we were.
Left to right is Lydia's from our neighbors, Arlee's from family decorating, Hans/
Arlee's, Hans', Mine and then Arlee's from our neighbors house.  I am missing
the ones that were on the porch that we decorated with my mom and sister.
Anyway, we had a great Halloween! We Went trick or treating with our friend's,
The Gillman's and then finished off in our neighborhood at a few people that we
knew. The girls ended up with 12.5 pounds of candy. I have put some on pumpkins,
some in the freezer and some in the closet. Oh yeah and some we ate.
Now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving in 2 days!!!! Oh my goodness, where
has the time gone. I can tell you one thing it has past by with a lot of fun.
Stay tuned for Thanksgiving pictures. We will be having it at our house this year
with some friends that we are actually adopting. Normally it has been the other way
around.
Happy Turkey Day soon!

Oh yeah, baby girl is doing great. Still moving like crazy. Oh and now people are
telling me that with in the last week I am actually looking pregnant! Hooray! I am
now at 23 weeks and going strong. As long as I have my compression stockings,
heating pad and something to eat. ;) I will post pictures sometime.... maybe.
