Trick-or-treat

Happy Halloween

This is what we saw tonight in our neighborhood. The sun was coming through the clouds at sunset and it made the trees look like they were on fire. The picture doesn't do it justice, it was really cool. We also saw these cute trick-or-treaters...


Don't forget about Super Mario
Trick-or-treating is so fun!


Even Mitch got a treat. mmmmm cereal

oh and in case you were wondering, I dressed up too. Molly has been insisting for weeks that I dress up as a witch for Halloween. So my official costume was witch-photographer.

5 months

My baby is growing way to fast!! He is 5 months as of yesterday so I decided it was time for his first taste of food. Don't let that chubby smile fool you, he was not fond of the taste. I don't think he even ate any of it, he just spits it out everywhere. The 2nd try went much better, and I think he is starting to like it, although it still gets everywhere. Molly is quite paranoid about him getting messy, so she is always ready with a rag to wipe up all the spills.

Mitch is still as happy as can be. He is such a mellow easy-going child, and is always smiling. He is rolling, scooting, and almost sitting. I really need him to just slow down and stop growing for a bit. I like him as a baby, he is just too sweet!


Ethan is also playing soccer right now, and Molly wishes she was. So far weather-wise this year is much better than last. (Last year was way too cold and rainy) The new thing this year is that instead of running all over the field chasing the ball, Ethan would much rather play goalie. He is really good at, and stops everything.

The kids have been gathering quite the collection of fall leaves this year. So we made this tree in our house as a way to display them. It was fun to make, but now all the leaves are crunchy and making a big mess so I think it's time for the tree to come down.

Fall=Love

The PERFECT day! Monday was the most perfect Fall day, and thanks to Columbus Day, Scott was work free. The weather was so nice so we hit up Patterson's Farm and it was like Heaven on Earth... it was so beautiful.

Tonight as I was loading pictures I noticed that I took some of the exact shots last year. It was fun to compare how grown-up Ethan & Molly have become in the last year.
Pumpkin Patch
Isn't Mitch seriously so cute in these pictures
Slides
The slides are always the highlight of the day. They have these slides all over the woods at Patterson's Farm, and they are really fun because you go so fast on them. Ethan liked going head first of course. Molly liked racing against Scott, and Mitch even went a few times.

It's October

Time to start thinking about costumes!!!

Since I love advents and I already have a few xmas ones I thought I'd make one for Halloween. Ethan is pretty excited about changing the blocks everyday to make a new number. Special thanks to Becky for the vinyl.
