Happy Halloween!

10-31-08

Halloween is getting more and more fun with each passing year. The boys actually had a say in picking out their costumes this year and they had a lot of fun trick-r-treating.

Here they are in the house trying on their costumes and getting ready for what was to come! :)

Halloween Playgroup

10-29-08

Our friends, Brooke & Brianna had all their friends over for a Halloween playgroup. The kids made foam pumpkins and they decorated and ate cupcakes. Everyone had a great time!

Hunsader Farm

10-26-08

We made our first trip out to Hunsader Farm this year. Never heard of it before, but apparently they hold this Pumpkin Festival every year. Our friend Kristen told us about it and we also heard about it through our twins club. Lots of people recommended it, so we decided to check it out! There was a petting zoo, face painting, games, pony rides, scarecrow displays, pumpkin patch, corn maze, hay ride, train ride, craft booths where the kids could Trick-r-Treat... we had lots of fun!

The kids LOVED the mini hay maze. It was just their size. Ethan ran though this thing over and over again!

Fun in the pumpkin patch

The corn maze was interesting, too. I think this was my first time in a corn maze. There are different paths you have to choose from, some being dead ends. Ethan was the leader of the bunch most of the time (since he always has to be in front!). They even have a couple of posts set up with workers sitting where you can ask for help if you need it. It took us a while, but we eventually made it out! :)

Waiting in line for the hay ride-

can you tell they were getting hot and tired? :)

TBAMoMs Halloween Party

10-25-08

The twins club I belong to had their annual Halloween Party at the park. The kids had a great time running, playing and eating the yummy snacks!

Our friends Brooke & Brianna were also there.

Here they are giving 'Mr. Drew' some lovin'. :)

After the party, we all went to lunch together. There was a fountain out front the kids liked, so we took some pics them all by it.

There was also a vendor fair/market right there (lots going on that day, apparently), so the kids all went over and jumbed in the bouncy for a while.

Golf

10-24-08

I don't remember if Drew had just gone golfing or what, but all of a sudden, Connor and Ethan were so into golfing. Drew found them a small kids' set of clubs & a bag on craigslist. I see many days of golfing with daddy in the future! :)

Pumpkin Patch Storytime

10-23-08

Every year, St. James (where the boys go to preschool) has a pumpkin patch in October. They have a scheduled time where parents come and take a trip to the pumpkin patch with the class. The teachers read a story, the kids get to walk around and explore the pumpkin patch, then they get to pick a little pumpkin to take home with them. Here they are on their Pumpkin Patch Storytime day:

More room to move

This is how we found Ethan night 2 in his 'big boy bed'. Guess he discovered a new way to turn and stretch that he was never able to do before. :)

How can kids sleep while standing? :)
