Trick or Treat

One little Cat in the Hat
had a fantastic Halloween : )
Except...
at first....
this little Cat in the Hat
did not want to wear
his costume.
In fact this little Cat in the Hat
wanted nothing to do with
his costume!
His mommy wasn't happy about that!
She had such a hard time getting this
costume! It almost didn't arrive on time!
This little Cat in the Hat did not want
to smile...
in fact he wanted to frown : (

He did let his mommy take
one quick picture!
But this little Cat in the Hat
was not going to smile!

This little Cat in the Hat
wanted his daddy to pick him
up.
He wanted to go home...
his mommy was contemplating
canceling Halloween!!

But then...
This little Cat in the Hat
saw his silly friends!

He had pirate friends...
Tinkerbell friends...
Bat Man friends...
Spider Man friends...
Buzz Light Year friends...
Seeing his silly friends
changed his mood...
just a little!

It was time for the annual
neighborhood Halloween parade!
This little Cat in the Hat was
starting to cheer up!

There was even a smile
from this cute little Cat in the Hat!

After the parade Darth Vader
entertained the kids and their
dads : ) He had the mask on
but the kids were a little
freaked out about it!

While the Little Cat in the Hat
was playing with Darth Vadar
and his silly little friends...
this little pumpkin posed for
some cute pictures!
This little pumpkin
smiled and smiled!!
This little Pumpkin
was enjoying his
very first Halloween.

Then the Cat in the Hat
posed for pictures with
the cute little pumpkin : )

The Cat in the Hat has
some rough and rowdy
pirate and super hero friends!

The Cat in the Hat was
super excited to go
trick or treating!
He gave a great big
smile!!!

The Cat in the Hat did
not like having to stop
and take a family picture!

The Cat in the Hat
went Trick or Treating
with his very best neighborhood
pals!

The Cat in the Hat and
his friends left this house
screaming!
They called it the
spooky house!

The Cat in the Hat
and all his friends ran
and ran...
and ran
all night!
Even though it started
off a little rough...
This little Cat in the Hat
had the best Halloween ever!
His mommy and daddy did to...
because in this neighborhood the
grown ups trick or treat for
beer and wine!!!
I love this neighborhood!

Fall fun on the farm

We are having so much fun this fall!
Today we joined our friends at
Green Level Gourd Farm for
a fun fall morning!
This place is so cute and the
owners are so nice to the kids.
It's fun to come and visit even when
it's not Halloween : )

Owen loves this Donkey...Hee Haw

Owen and Taylie checking out the chickens

Owen was so sweet pushing Taylie in the swing

He loved this red tractor.
As he will tell you...
red is his favorite color!

Little Pumpkin

It was this little pumpkin's
first trip to the pumpkin patch!!
Such an occasion called
for a cute little shirt complete
with a pumpkin applique!
Of course this outfit would not
be complete without the cutest
hand knit pumpkin hat!
This little pumpkin had a
great morning at the pumpkin patch!
He watched his big brother, rocked in the
rocking chair with his daddy and...
made his mommy smile because
she could take the sweetest pictures
of her little pumpkin!

Pumpkin Patch

There is nothing I love more than
starting our own family traditions!
It seems like fall is full of fun
things to do as a family!
One of our favorite fall
activities is a trip to the pumpkin patch!


In 2008 our family looked like this...

In 2010 it looked like this...

 

This trip is just the beginning

of fun fall memories for

these two sweet boys!

I hope they grow up remembering

all the fun times we had together!

This picture is a moment I will

never forget!

 

Looking at pictures of the 4 of us

makes me happy!

It makes me smile to see the 

4 of us having fun together!

It's nice to freeze time for just

one moment!

So I never forget how much

fun we had...

just the 4 of us on a beautiful

fall morning!
