It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Yay!! It is officially Christmas here at our household! We have a trees up, now all we need is our outside decorations done!! The kids are SOOOOO excited & they love their trees. Samuel moved up to a big boy tree this year, he doesn't have the 4' tree anymore, Daddy went out & got him his new tree & had it up when he got home from school....excitement was in the air!! Here they are decorating their trees.... This is the first ornament on the tree...he picked it out of all his ornaments...

This is Lilee's choice for number one ornament....

Halloween-ween

The kids had a nice Halloween I would say...lots of candy = success in their minds!! We went trunk or treating at our new school the Saturday before Halloween & had a lot of fun & then of course trick or treating with Lilee's BFF Emma on Wednesday!! This is sad for Lilee this year because this will probably be her last trick or treating with Emma because she is moving, but we sure had fun this year!! The kids picked their costumes all on their own this year, I wasn't allowed to help & they didn't like my idea of matching each other...so I give you W0nder W0men & Jake the pirate...

Pumpkin Time!!

This year we painted & carved pumpkins! The kids had a blast painting & we will have to ask Daddy if HE had a blast carving the pumpkins!

Pumpkin Patch!!

Well, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch!!! We have been so busy we hadn't had a chance yet to go! We pulled up & I thought out loud, "Gee, there isn't a lot of pumpkins to choose from" Daddy reminded me that we WERE coming a week before Halloween! But the kids had fun & we found our perfect pumpkins!! In the straw teepee....

Fall Festival

At our church every September there is a fall festival with an auction, carnival games & food. It is a primo event within our family & Lilee & Samuel both talk NON STOP about it in the weeks leading up to it! Well, last weekend it was it & it was on!!!! My kids woke up talking about the festival & we still had to wait until 4pm church because the festival is after church!! I tried to get there picture before the festival of the excitement & this is what I caught & I LOVE it! Both of them belly laughing at the excitement....

And a blast was had by all!!!! The kids won tons of games & prizes so I took their picture with them! Samuel surprised the heck out of me & won most every game he played! Lilee had to go back a few times, but she pulled it out for the team!!!

Better late than never....

Well, life was hectic this week so I never got around to posting about our wonderful lazy Labor Day weekend!! It was so nice it felt like a mini vacation....we just hung out with each other & enjoyed the days off!!! We had time for Lego building in our pj's...
