Fall Fun 2008

Happy Halloween to you all! Hope you are all having a Spooktacular October. We have been busy with day to day hum-drum, planting our garden(twice!), and getting ready for Halloween of course! We went to the "pumpkin patch" last night and picked out our pumpkins and brought them home to carve. While the pumpkin patch wasn't what we are used to, the kids still had fun walking around the pumpkins and selecting the one they wanted. Prepping the pumpkins for carving was the most eventful. I found out that 2 out of 3 of my children take after their father and seem to have inherited the 'messy hands phobia'. Watch the video and you will see what I mean! Dax was hilarious. LOL


Adelaide dressed up as SilverMist (Tinkerbell's fairy friend, for those of you out of touch with Disney's latest) for the Fall Festival at Lil' Friends Preschool. They brought in a trailer and had a hayrack ride for the kids, had fun with a pinata, and looked for small pumpkins in a pile of hay. They had a great time and were well 'sugared' when they were dismissed!



A preview of Peter Pan...he actually liked his costume and was showing off for the camera. He even liked the hat and brought it to me to put back on if it fell off. Go figure, since he will rarely leave a ball cap or sun hat on when I need him to!

That is all for now...we are hoping for some nice weather for Friday. I okayed the girls' request to be fairies thinking we wouldn't have to contend with possible snow and it would be in the 80's when we trick or treated. Apparently the weather is unpredictable in South Florida too. There is a cold front rolling through and it has been in the mid 40's at night with highs in the mid 60's during the day. They may be wearing sweats under their outfits after all(at least we can keep the hats and mittens in the closet!).
