Fall Festivities

The temps have dropped into the 80s for the most part and it finally feels like Fall.   School is back in full swing and we are having lots of fun celebrating the last week of October.  This weekend we had an impromptu date night out with the kids and the weather was perfect enough to sit outside on the patio.   

I took the kids to our Ward Fall Festival and we all had a great time. Chili cookoff, Pie contest, bouncy castles, face painting, train rides, and we left exhausted.   Owen found his favorite cousin Gigi at the festival. 

After waiting for 15 minutes for a train ride, Owen refused to get on because he realized they were just a bunch of buckets (you know the classic ones they have at every Pumpkin Patch). So he humored me and let me take a photo at the Photo Booth setup instead. The kids had fun and Owen voted for the spiciest chili he could find. :)

We had another family party this weekend and these photos are courtesy of Gma Monica.  Logan was passed around all night and I loved that Connor was loving on him.  That, and it kept Owen from wanting to "take him down" every five seconds.  Good strategy Connor.

I love these kids so much. My kids have the best relationships with their cousins. We are super lucky to all live so close to each other too.  It's bittersweet to look at all the photos on the walls and see how quickly they have grown.  Don't blink if you have little ones.. it goes by SO fast!

We planned Thanksgiving, our Christmas party and my oldest niece is having a baby shower. If that doesn't make me feel old... geez.

The kids and I also made it to the MLH Halloween party last night at the Hospital.  They had a good time and can't wait for Trick or Treating this weekend. Ok.. Logi didn't have the best time he was not sure about any of it. :)

We  have plenty more festivities this week.. pumpkin carving, cupcake making, and school stuff.  Kam has PSATs tomorrow morning.  I have a million things to update and will find time, but for now.  Happy Fall!!
