Trick or Treat!

Did you think I wouldn't post about our trip?  Here's what Peter thinks of that:




What did we do when we got to Uncle Bill and Aunt Laura's?  Played in the leaves, of course. :)


Saturday morning we started early....these two liked visiting at the breakfast table....






After a trip to a local park, we met up with everyone at the pumpkin patch.  Connor and Chloe both thought it was a little too bright on this bench for pictures....



ha! Then, all the kids just had to get their picture taken by this statue.....so they posed really nicely: 


Forget posing for pictures, lets get on with the fun!  First, the petting zoo area....April showed no fear.



Then, the Big Slide.




Peter didn't seem to mind that he was too little to ride.  He got to hang with Aunt Chelle!!

Two Brave Kiddos rode all by themselves!



Strong Pap did a feats-of-strength....

Then Tom showed everyone what's what by doing it with one arm!


While this was happening, Connor was being pulled from the hay bales by Strong Mawna :)

Pedal cars were next.  Chloe was able to make her's go all by herself.  Granted, she wasn't fast, but she did go all the way around a few times!




While we waited for lunch, face painting was a big hit -- this is the first time Chloe and April have had their faces painted.  April was quick to pick a purple fish.  Chloe was thoughtful about her choice and chose the pumpkin with the swirly vines.



Attempt a group photo? Sure.  This is the worst.  I'll probably print the best for the kind grandparents who put up with our attempt.


After naps, the exhausted parents changed their cute kids into costumes for Trick or Treat. Check out the great costumes -- April is Rapunzel, Connor is Curious George, Chloe is a ballerina.


Peter went as Mickey Mouse! He seemed pretty good about it, until we wanted to take his picture with Minnie....

then we got this blank stare....for 18 pictures.....

Peter is still making the blank expression, but the three in the middle have plenty of personality :)



Sunday morning the babies visited a little more before heading to church -- look, they are holding hands!

Chelle and Tom hosted us for lunch and we were on our way back home.  So fast, but SO fun :)

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
