This week was very long and busy. So, Will took today off for a family day! I was ready for Friday...Work was busy for Will, we had soccer and school conferences, and we offered to watch a friend's two girls for three days. I am tired!!! That last part had our kiddos very excited! The girls were very well-behaved, but with four kids I was exhausted. It was funny going to the store with the two youngest (Meli & Aubrey - both 4). The one that was not my child kept being mistaken for mine. She has brown, curly hair and big eyes. They were very surprised when I responded that the blonde was mine.
This morning we had a nice family breakfast. Then headed to a pumpkin patch. Meli is ecstatic about Halloween this year. Oh my! She went ballistic when I put up the decorations. She kept thanking me. She keeps saying "Halloween is soon! Then snow too!".
We had a horse-drawn carriage take us to the patch. The kids love this part. It was Will's first time. We ended up getting a fairly big pumpkin and two smaller ones the kids picked out. We also have a few from my garden this year!! (Pictures to come).
I am so glad I have been inspired with taking pictures again. I had a good time snapping a few today.
Meli grabbed a pumpkin that may have been a little too big for her. I love her face in this picture.
We let the kids do a maze and play on the playground before heading to a Halloween store to look at costumes.
Colin decided on Teen Titan's version of Robin and Meli will be Rainbow Dash. Bith outfits are adorable.
Colin had his first sleepover tonight. He went to a local high school football game with a friend, then is staying the night. Meli was sad without Colin, so we headed to DQ for a little sister treat! She of course had to wear part of her costume.
I probably should proofread this in the AM...Will and I are enjoying mimosas tonight:)
