Halloween Celebrations

Today was the kids' fall celebrations at school. I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked. It was hard juggling between two different class rooms, each in a different wing of the school and a 3 yr old that wants to do everything in each class.

I also got mother of the year award today too. While both kids were getting ready for school this morning, Madie happened to ask me if Megan's party was today too. I initally thought in my head NO, it's on Monday. But as the morning went on... I started to second guess myself. We got Megan's costume on, curled her hair, bobby pined her crown on and slipped on her Cinderella shoes. She was SO excited and looked absolutely adorable. Walked in to School......and she was the only one dressed up :( Mind you, our home sitter brings in a preschool teacher every Monday and Friday, so there were only 6 kids. Still... I wanted to crawl in a hole. The upside about it, Megan didn't seem to mind AT all. She loved the fact that she was a "princess" for a few hours.

Fall Walk

Can you say... Indian Summer. On October 9th it was 70 some degrees out. It was sooooo beautiful we decided to go to Pamperin Park and take some pictures of the kids. Here are some pictures from our little photo shoot.

Flag Football

This fall Zachary played Flag Football. He played 9 games total every Saturday morning at 9am. With this being his first year playing he was learning the ropes of the game. He seemed to enjoy playing, but had more interest in interacting with his friends. He had a few touchdowns, threw an interception, grabbed a few flags and most of all, had a lot of fun playing. He had two of his very good friends on his team, Fulton and Theo. We'll see what next year brings when the boys are another year older.


Go Fulton!!

Apple Picking

Yesterday, we went to pick apples at Hillside Orchard in Luxemburg/Casco. It was a cool/raining day and only 45 degrees. We lucked out, as we headed into the orchard, the sun came and it was pretty comfortable being out there.


Per one of the employees, the apples were about 2 weeks early this year. So as you can see.. most apples have fallen from the trees. We still did pretty good, we ended up coming home with 28LBs of Cortland and Mac apples.

My new favorite picture of Megan.

I thought this was a neat picture of Zach.


She's been asking for weeks now and finally, we had the chance to go.


She loved the idea of picking the apples from the tree and then getting to eat them right away. :)
