I am a Great Aunt again! My nephew and his girlfriend had a very handsome baby boy a few weeks ago - these pictures are now old as he is much bigger now!

Pumpkin Carving
Last weekend we took the girls to pick out their pumpkins for carving - they already painted theirs, but in the spirit of tradition we let them pick out a pumpkin for Daddy to carve for them!
Alexis and Kayla holding their little pumpkins before we cut out the big ones....

Our finished pumpkins - Daddy spent a lot of time carving them out - the one on the left is a spider web with a spider (Alexis choice) and the one on the right is a Cat (Kayla's choice because she wanted it to be like her sister is for Halloween!)

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip
I was fortunate enough to get to go to the Pumpkin Patch on a field trip with Alexis class... it was the coldest day so far this year! I even had to get out the hats and gloves for the girls at the last minute.... I wasn't even sure if I had them for the girls it was so unexpected!
Alexis thinking "seriously Mom, in this weather you have to take pictures?"



Kayla even waited patiently after Alexis's teacher had to leave her alone... I was quite impressed! In some ways she is definitely ready for pre-school!

On the hey ride- the kids had a great time!
Kids playing in the hey barn....
Even when the whole group was waiting together to take a class picture - Alexis was posing with her sister! I told Tony, we definitely have to have Christmas pictures taken for the girls this year!
Geese in the petting zoo.... they were right next to the kittens (Alexis is a cat for Halloween) and the Bunnies, (Kayla is a pink Bunny, although she thinks she is a pink cat :0)) for Halloween!
It was so cold outside that my camera almost stopped working! The shutters wouldn't open too well unless I held the camera close to me in my coat!

Happy to take her turn on the slide...


Kayla says hello to some of the animals that were brave enough to stand out in the cold!
Standing in line waiting for the bus to pick us up and take us out of the freezing cold!



Alexis's teacher is so good with all of the kids, especially the siblings... she took Kayla in to get in the circle for duck duck goose while we were waiting for the hey ride...









Kayla says to the "big kid" - "hey don't you know you have to say excuse me?"



The girls had a good time playing in the corn boxes at the pumpkin patch... especially with eachother!


Costumes, a Forest, Cousins and Manthis...
We took the girls to a local towns downtown tricker treating event... they looked so cute in their costumes and it was a great way to see if we had everything ready for the Halloween party!


After one of my nephews games, we took a walk through a little forest with the girls... there were a lot of kids back there that created bike ramps and the girls enjoyed watching them for a little while....

Alexis and Kayla had a sleepover with their cousins a few weeks ago... they had a lot of fun, but didn't have much time to get many pictures of the fall projects and other fun stuff we did! I was able to get a picture of them eating their ice cream (after dinner of course) and watching the Lion King, that was about the only time all 5 of them were sitting still!

Kayla was very lovey towards her cousin, but he was kind of wanting his own space! She just loves little kids, especially babies!

We were doing some fall gardening and preparation for winter when the girls noticed something standing on our brick ledge....

A closer look... it was pretty cool to see a Praying Manthis up so closely - the girls wanted to touch it, but I didn't know if they pinch or not, so I just let them look at him!

Anniversary
Favorite Fall Activities (Apple Orchard)
A few weeks ago we went to a favorite Apple Orchard with the girls - it was on our anniversary and nice to spend it with the kids!


The girls got to go on Pony rides for the first time... they loved the ponies, they were great with the kids.


What a great Daddy walking with Kayla just incase she got scared and to make sure she didn't fall.
When we were by the petting zoo, there were two goats playing very roughly - they were jumping around and biting eachother... the girls didn't quite know what to think of it!


They spent a lot of time playing on the playground outside of the orchard....

Then it was time for their favorite part - picking the apples!
Kayla got right in there and knew exactly what to do... she was so cute!
