Happy Halloween.

As tradition dictates, we were very ready for Halloween at the beginning of October. The kids picked out their individual costumes and they did a great job.  They all pick the perfect costume for their unique personalities.  At school they had a parade and were so excited to dress up. 

Connor - our dedicated police officer

Garrett - Iron Man 3 (aka Captain America Iron Man)

Emily - Our adorable Cinderella

 

When they got home from school, it was off to Kristen's house to trick or treat.  We made it to more houses than ever and took home about ten pounds of candy.  Emily declared it the Best Night Ever because at every house they told her she was so cute and then they gave her candy.  It was a fun filled Halloween.  

A special medal should be awarded to Prince Charming who had hand surgery that morning and still managed to pull off trick or treating.  Now I am not going to disclose how many painkillers he was on but he still made it.  Go Daddy!

Apple Picking

After a busy day of sports, it was off to do our favorite fall activity, apple picking.  

The kids were off and running looking for the biggest and shiniest apples they could find.  

We all had a blast running up the rows of trees. 

Then we headed to the corn maze.  Daddy had flash backs of mommy and Nana getting lost in a corn maze in Ireland and had no faith in my directional sense.  The kids were great explorers and managed to navigate through the corn maze in less than ten minutes.  Go kids!

We then picked out the biggest and most perfect pumpkins.   I think we actually brought home five of them.   It was a perfect fall day.  

Gymnastics and Baseball

What a fall season.  We have Connor playing baseball, soccer and flag football.  Garrett is doing gymnastics and flag football.  We are going to be one busy family.
