Fall festivities

Halloween has come and gone. Thankfully. I do enjoy seeing the kids have fun dressing up and telling everyone about their costumes. I hate dislike the massive amounts of candy, the decorations and the hoopla. But whatever... Aren't they so cute in that picture above? Ashlyn loves to wear a lot of jewelry and outrageous outfits. Channeling her inner Fancy Nancy. Its adorable. AND Ari looks so grown up in those jeans.  Gosh, she'll be FOUR in like 50 some days. WHAT?!

First we had Laine's party at the Eakers where we dressed up (I don't think I took a single picture with my camera). Oops. Then we had croup and hospital stays. Then a brisk visit to the pumpkin patch and then home to carve them. Then a trip to Renovatus for our fall festival where we probably over did it in the cold weather being sick because Monday Ari slept until 1pm on the couch with a mild fever.  Then Tuesday rolled around and we were back in business, mostly. And we saved enough energy for two hours of trick or treating Thursday night.

So, here are some pics of the pumpkin patch.... Boring, I know. My typing time is limited around here.  I plan on taking a photo sesh of the girls in their costumes. My grandma did an amazing job on these huge tutus and we put them in all black and added wings and antennae.  Some people thought they were butterflies and some thought they were fairies. I just thought they were cute.  More pics to come, I hope!
