halloween fun

nora & evy,

we've had some halloween fun lately and are sure to have quite a bit more!  

nora, you are LOVING halloween again this year!  every day we go for walks and you love to point out all the halloween decorations and pumpkins along our way.  your favorite game to play is "i spy..." and you always find some sort of halloween thing to "spy".  you even told me the other day on our walk, "mommy! take picture by orange tree!"

evy, you're a little young for pumpkins and halloween decorations this year :)

we went to boo at the zoo with dana, tim, kate & tyler again this year.  absolutely impossible to get a picture of the 4 of you, but we did have a blast in the corn maze, watching the pumpkin smasher, and feeding the baby goats.

we've been busy doing halloween crafts.  we painted pumpkins the other day and you thought this was an awesome activity! (yay for me... mom win!)

"mummy quesidillas" for lunch!

this was the best i could get for our matching halloween pj's... nora, your skeleton pj's glow in the dark and you are loving turning off the lights at night to see the skeleton bones glow!  the way you say "skeleton" is so sweet!

n: 'oh so tiny baby!'
e: 'stop putting me in this position, mom!' 

n, you look so big next to e but i forget you really are still my baby :) 

we picked our pumpkins the other week at the pumpkin patch and are looking forward to carving them!  nora decided that she gets to decide what the pumpkin's face will look like!
at the pumpkin patch you loved looking at all the big kid activities, but there were so many other "big" kids and it was way too crowded to do any of the rides, etc.  we picked out our perfect pumpkins, ate apple cider donuts (your fave!), and attempted many obligatory kid-in-the-pumpkin pictures.

well...

i'm looking forward to carving pumpkins, trick-or-treating, and seeing you dressed up as a flamingo!
xoxo,
mommy
