Happy Halloween


I'm glad I got this picture from a Trunk or Treat a couple of weeks ago, because there were no photos last night.  It was snowing and so darn cold!  On top of it, we didn't start trick or treating until many people were done since Jordyn had gymnastics.  I guess it's just the phase we're in right now.  I'm not sure what will happen when basketball and wrestling start in a couple of weeks!  I thought this meme floating around Facebook was fitting...
we legit didn't even carve pumpkins this year.  I was laughing with a coworker because when the kids were in preschool I wrapped little juice boxes with white tape and added googly eyes to make them look like mummies.  This year for the Halloween party I send a jug of Hawaiian Punch and some Great Value cups to school with the kids.  I don't even know who I am anymore!  haha!

Tonight we have no practice, so I'm redeeming myself!  I'm planning to make GHOULash and Mummy Dogs and read our Halloween books.  After that I've promised the kids a movie night, so I think we're going to watch Double Double Toil and Trouble from back in the day.  :)

I hope you all have a fun Halloween Night!

Oh, and this is for after the kids go to bed...
You're welcome! ;)

Family Bucket List | Fall


If everything goes as planned, we'll have a lot of things going on this fall, so I'm going to try really hard to be present and make meaningful memories when we have the time.  You can call this my Fall 2015 wishful Bucket List. :)

pumpkin patch. [2014]

Now that the snow has started falling, I figured I better post some of the photos from the pumpkin patch.  sigh But...it's still November, not even thanksgiving yet, so that makes it acceptable, right?!  






















The photos until this point happened at this stand on the side of the road.  They used to have it at their house, and you could pick you're own, but they're relocated it to the street this year.  At first I was disappointed, but the owners are just so nice and the kids loved petting the animals and running around.  Plus, they had awesome pumpkins!


The only photo of the three of us from that night--clearly the kids missed the memo!





























The second half of the photos are from the large orchard just North of us.  Adam worked late one night, so I took the kids for something fun to do.  Luckily, we already had a bunch of pumpkins, because the field {where you could pick your own} was almost completely out!  They still loved the hay ride.  Sadly we didn't have time for a lot of the fun stuff, but it wasn't a big deal because this is the same place we pick apples, so they had just played on everything the month before.
