Fall Fun!

The month of October flies by speedier than its other 11 counterparts if you ask me.  Pumpkin patch visits, spooky sleepovers, trips to fun places and last but not least trick or treating!!

I think I love Halloween jammies more than any other holiday…and I think my kiddos do too.

We have 2 huge trees in our front yard and the kids were begging me to let them jump in the leaves.  One day the hubs raked and the kids messed up his piles.

Have I mentioned I love fall clothes too?  And my favorite little girl's brand Persnickety pretty much knocked it out of the park this fall.  My friends at Baby Bundles had a trunk show with yummy food all the new fall favorites.  Give Carsyn a reason to dress up and she.is.there.

Did I mention one of the perks of not living in the sticks is being close to a Krispy Kreme?  And in the same town of your awesome big sister who makes house calls?  Mel rocks.  Just look at those faces.

We also made our annual fall trip down to Nashville to visit my bloggy bestie Laura and her new baby, Cheney. 

How gorgeous is she? 

And these cuties…they just melt my heart!

We happened to have eaten at my favorite restaurant there twice.  Oops.

We decided to meet the Adams family at the Louisville zoo on the way back and the kids had so so much fun!

We made our annual trip to Boyd Orchards one beautiful fall day. 

(At this point I think I need to add Rosie accompanied us everywhere and I got not one single pic.  Sads.  The kids love her so much and not only am I grateful for her help I'm also grateful for her companionship too.  Note to self- More Rosie pics in November!)

Rosie and Carsyn made candy corn no bake cookies one day.

And I think this is the first year in forever I didn't carve a pumpkin.  Mel came to the rescue with these cute stickers and BONUS- the kids did every single bit of decorating.  Look how proud!

Halloween was so very cold here.  It actually snowed that night.  Luckily it don't interfere with my little superheroes' excitement.

The adults had Moes carryout and we set up kiddie snacks in the basement.  

Such a busy month! I've made the vow to stay home more in November.  Who thinks I can stick to it?

Lets Look at October...

Within 5 minutes of talking with an Apple specialist I'm back up and running-Yay!

Were you tired of my insta and iphone pics?

If so, I'm sorry-they'll be back.


October was such a fun and busy month!

We enjoyed time playing in our playhouse

We hosted a sprinkle at the Greentree Tea Room for my future niece.

(oh..hello pregnant, gorgeous sister..)

It was so much fun and the food was yummy.

Thanks Kristie for the rec!

We ventured to the pumpkin patch..

Sooo..... I remember our pumpkin patch trip last year- Hanky cried a lot-then passed out in the stroller.  I vowed this year it would be different.  And it was.  The kids played, and slid, and ran, and rolled in the hay.  They had a blast.  Until it was time for the chair pic.....

Maybe next year..

And wrapped up the month with trick or treating with Auntie Kris and Uncle Robby-Such a fun tradition.

Fall

Fall is definitely the time of year I look forward to most.  I love to decorate my house, I love to party plan for Carsyn's birthday, and I literally count the moments until we chow down on turkey for  Thanksgiving day. 

Its also such a busy time of year with pumpkin patch trips and numerous parties and activities.  

We made our annual trip to Boyds Orchard..

Carsyn had the best time until she busted her nose coming down the slide.  As you may have noted from the chair pic with Hank, the pumpkin patch was not his thing, but I know big sis will show him the ropes next year.

I also tend to dress the kids up and force them to take way too many pictures.  I know they'll thank me someday..

We went to an annual pumpkin painting party where Hank was happy to lounge on his auntie and Carsyn worked on her pumpkin..

 

Carsyn was a witch for the church's annual trunk or treat and I made my Halloween smores..

Here's some more pics of decor including Carsyn's Cinderella pumpkin.  Her face when she saw it was priceless!  Of course she had to have Cinderella out so the pumpkin now resides on the front porch princess-less.
