harvest joy festival

we had a super fun afternoon at our church's harvest joy festival.  the kids loaded up on candy from all the trunks, played lots of games, bounced in many inflatables, ate too much junk food, and played with great friends!!!

the pumpkin patch

this is one of my favorite days of all the days.

fall is my favorite season and these are my favorite people.

our weekend at the hunt house

the other weekend, we spent some time at the hunt house with our family.  it was super cold so, we spent a lot of time indoors.  we were able to play outside for a little bit while the sun was shining!  the kids played hard!!!  running, swinging, collecting acorns, making "soups"

while we were warming up indoors, we ate some yummy taco soup, made little arrow ornaments and necklaces, and played some more.

carter man LOVES his baby cousins so much!!!

poppa built a massive bonfire so, it was back outside to play with fall leaves and roast sticky marshmallows!

the next morning, there were some snuggles, an after breakfast game of uno, and lots more playing!

trick ~ or ~ treat

Elsa:  Yep, we did our part of helping make Elsa the most popular costume of the year.  Grace was so excited about dressing up and she felt very beautiful!!!  And, I only have two words:  The Wig.

SpiderMan:  I mean, I hate to one up everyone, but this SpiderMan has a cape.  And sweatbands.  CarterMan was also excited to dress up; he felt very strong and super cool!

Love them!

We met up with The Riddler, a witch and her black cat, and a couple of Minions.  Then we froze while trick or treating!

They were so fast and so independent.  I was basically chasing them the entire time.  They are growing up too fast!

Our attempt at a family pic.  Fail!

This girl loves her some Reese's peanut butter cups!!!

While thawing out, the kids got crazy busy eating candy!!!

We had another super fun Halloween!!!
