Happy Halloween!

How I adore these two little darlings!



 They don't like to make it easy on me...



 We had to put Nora in a pumpkin, there is no way she would get stuck in it... no way at all...





and I couldn't resist this little bum!


and as an added bonus, the cutest buzz you ever did see!


and all of Mimi and Papa's little angels together... this was the best and only shot I got with all of them kind of in frame...


Pumpkin Carving

We did our annual pumpkin carving with the whole gang.


Before we left I took some pictures of the girls in their festive outfits.  Nora's outfit is the same one Blair wore her first Halloween (so its a little big) and Blair's personalized shirt was made by a friend.



 Nora played in the walker for a little bit.


The girls wanted to carve next to each other.  Blair did stick her hand it a little and then she "helped" me to carve.  She said she wanted a "spooky" face so that is what we came up with.










There was cake!


Blair's spooky face, Moms princess, dads cyclops
 





We have so many people now we had to add a second row!

Disney on Ice

We went to our second annual Disney on Ice show with Mimi and Auntie Janae.  This year was Peter Pan, Lion King, Lilo and Stich, and The Little Mermaid.


Happy face... Judgey face...




We had great seats to see everything up close so it was wonderful!  Blair was spoiled like crazy by her Mimi and Auntie and she just loved it!


 It was so funny watching her (which is mostly what we adults do instead of watching the show) because she looks like she isn't having fun because she is SO intent on everything.  However, I do think she loved it and we loved to be with our little princess too!

Bishops Pumpkin Patch

We made the annual trip to Bishops Pumpkin Farm with our friends.

We started out jumping on the hay trampoline which was really fun!




We fed animals at the petting zoo.  This face of Blair concentrating on getting the food in her hand is SO funny to me and it is absolutely the same face that Jason makes when concentrating! She also had no fear whatsoever still with the animals, she is so cool!




Nora watched the animals from her stroller.


Olivia arrived and made Blair's day and then we rode the train.





The kids had a great time on the slide.  Blair wasn't great at waiting in line and may have checked a few kids to get to Olivia!

She was doing this weird stance with her hip to the side when looking through the telescope, it was really funny.




The best we could get of all the kids!  It was not easy to even get this!


Last year:

We went in the sunflower garden and Blair was thrilled to get to pick a yellow flower!


 Nora went to sleep, so cute!



 Then it was time to hayride out to the fields to search for the perfect pumpkin





 Nora woke up after a solid 20 minute nap and took this picture, again, the best we could do.




We took our annual picture at the ruler!


Then we headed to the corn maze.  It was a lot better this year than last because there was no storm but we didn't spend much time because we were running out of time.





I found some pumpkins for Nora to chill in.


Blair got to ride a pony for the first time.  Mommy went total amateur and messed up the pictures so I had to put them in Black and White to save what I could.

 

Now I am REALLY glad we bought the picture they took and it is so cute!


On the way home from a long day... Nora was such a ridiculously good baby and only on a 20 minute nap.  All she wants is to be with her people and to watch what is going on!
