Trick or Treat



It's 9:17 p.m. and the kids are sound asleep in bed after a fun evening of trick or treating with their cousins! Kiptyn has already said he wants candy for breakfast....I don't think so!

I went to Kieran's school this afternoon for the costume parade and to help out with his class party.

Kieran's class!

All the school students in the gym for the costume parade!

Do you see Kieran?

 

This afternoon I had a conversation with Kiptyn that went something like this:
Kiptyn: Mom, I want to go to that place.

Me: You mean trick or treating?

Kiptyn: Yeah! Is it far away like in Colorado?

Me: No, trick or treating happens in our neighborhood!

Kiptyn (with a huge smile!): Kieran, trick or treating happens in our neighborhood!

 

Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach ready to get some candy!!

We have a fun tradition of trick or treating with our cousins!

Group shot on the front porch!

Chloe wanted nothing to do with the group picture outside...or the princess crown for her head!

Thankful for good neighbors that make this tradition so fun!

Wordless Wednesday!

Fall Frenzy

The weather is cold and rainy here today....just like fall should be, I guess. I'm hoping the sun will pop out at some point...that always helps to brighten my day!

We're trying to stay on top of the falling leaves in the front yard and get some outside time in when we can...I think those days are coming to an end soon.

Here's a little recap of our fall so far!

Working on Preschool Collage Projects!

Eating with our sunglasses on!

Brushing our teeth with our sunglasses on!

Love our books!

I was vacuuming the floor one day and when I was done, I found Kiptyn and Chloe tucked away in this corner reading books!

Kieran's doing awesome with his reading!

Fall Décor!!

Riding our bike like a champ without training wheels!

Enjoying a nice day coloring on the front porch!

Chillin!

Enjoying our 1st dum dum sucker outside!

Helping daddy fix his car!

Leaf Blowin!

Leaf Playin!

Popcorn and a Movie before bedtime..in our WARM pajamas!

Doing a little light reading!

 

We hope your fall has been full of outside fun, leaves, pumpkins and that great feeling you get when you're snuggled up warm and you hear the furnace kick on! I love that sound!

Wordless Wednesday!

Pumpkin Patch Friends

Last weekend we made our first trip out to Vala's Pumpkin Patch! It was chilly and I had to bribe Chloe with fruit snacks to get her to wear her hat, but we had a good time.

My friend, Kari, and her two kids joined us for the fun! Our kids range in age, but the patch has something for everyone and I appreciated her kids letting my little kids be involved in their activity too!

Jumping Pillows...the first thing on the "to do" list!

Duck Races

Corn!

Kieran with the dragon...not sure who that other kid is in the picture :-)

Panning for gems!

We had never done this activity at the patch, it was thanks to my friend's son, Jarod, that the boys got some special rocks to take home!

Funnel Cake!!

Warm, greasy, powdered sugar goodness on a cool day!

Turkey leg!!

A new attraction this year, the Big Slide Ride!

Kiptyn wanted to ride the BIG train...which costs extra money..so we convinced him to ride the John Deere train and he was cool with that!

A warm pretzel!

Picking out a pumpkin!

Hello?

I guess we bring a stroller to haul pumpkins...not a kid! Silly us!

Thankful for this day with our good friends!
