Pre Halloween Fun

We had a lot of fun activities so far this weekend for Halloween.

 Luke Skywalker and Minnie Mouse

 Posing by their names

 His pumpkin that he decorated at the Bloomingdale Park District Halloween Happening

 She had a great time in the junior gym

 A look of determination in her eyes

 Trick or treating by the pool with Connor

 Playing games Saturday at Bartlett's Halloween celebration

 They loved this area because the prizes were Disney stuffed characters

 Here they got to race with a gourd on a spoon

 Molly barely listened to the directions and took off with that look of determination in her eyes again.

Molly's looks say it all- "Bo bo you want to do what?"

 "I just don't know about this."

 Ti ti and Matthew's creation

 Two tired kids after a long day.



Playing in the Leaves

Last Sunday Molly had her first time playing in the leaves and she loved it.

 Sister and brother

 Everyone helps

 Silly gooses

 Matthew, Mommy, Molly

 Matthew, Daddy, Molly

 Throwing at daddy



Pumpkin Patch #2

I know its only our 2nd pumpkin patch of the season, that is a pretty low number for us.  We've either been busy, sick, or had crummy weather.  Last Sunday we enjoyed a day out with Uncle Dane.

 Matthew, Molly, and Uncle Dane on a slide

 Molly's new favorite catch phrase is, "Ride'em cowboy!"

 Matthew and Molly

 Again playing in corn is always a favorite

 Uncle Dane caught in the act of throwing kernels at Matthew

 Climbing on Charlotte's Web

 He wanted his picture with the donkey

 and the bunny

 Molly, Uncle Dane, and Matthew

 Cleaning his pumpkin

 A group effort in the cleaning of pumpkins and gourds

That was a big pumpkin

Boo at the Zoo

We took our annual trip to Brookfield Zoo for Boo at the Zoo.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love fall so I try to get in as many pumpkin and leaf related activities as possible.

 Molly relaxing on our way

 Matthew did his zoo magnet set to get ready for the zoo

 Matthew asked to pose by the wombat.  You can tell we visit the zoo a lot because he even knows the obscure animal names.

 This is a picture we apparently have to take every time.

 Molly by a giraffe pumpkin

 Mommy, Molly, and Matthew

 His new pose of choice that he asks to do is squatting.
