Happy Halloween!

Megan and Lucas got lots of chances to show off their costumes this year ... the Costume Parade during the Fall Festival at school, a Halloween Birthday party, and Halloween (of course!). I think they make a fantastic pirate and scarecrow.






While Lucas was doing his homework for school today (which I still can't believe he has, but he loves it), Megan was coloring across from him. Somehow the spelling of Megan's name came up and Lucas was helping her with it. The next thing I hear is "Here, I'll write it for you.". I walked out and saw Lucas writing Megan's name for her ... upside down. He informed me "that's so it's right for her". So cute! And I was very impressed with how well he wrote upside down!

A New Way to Sleep

You know they must be tired when they can't get all the way back into bed.

Happy 4th Birthday Kaylee!

Today we celebrated Kaylee's 4th Birthday. Lots of playing, some tape the mouth on the Jack-O-Lantern and lots of fun!

Wrestling Around

Lucas and Megan were having some fun wrestling around and I was fortunate enough to catch them. Daddy even joined in for a moment so we could get a group picture.

The Pumpkin Patch

Today we headed to the the pumpkin patch. I'm not sure what was the kids' favorite part was, but they had a blast! We started in the corn maze and explored many of the paths and one of the bridges. We also checked out the chickens, goats and go carts. Lucas and Megan got excited about the tube slide and went down that several times on burlap sacks. Since getting into the slide required Mommy lifting them up 3 ft. off the ground, we convinced them to head on over to the pumpkin patch. The wagon ride over was interesting ... a bunch of school bus seats bolted around the edge of a wagon and another section crammed down the middle. Once at the pumpkin patch, we each picked our pumpkins and headed back. One last stop for some fresh kettle corn, and and we took some exhausted kids back home.

Happy 4th Birthday Carl!

Today was a busy day celebrating Carl's birthday. The morning started at Monkey Joe's where the kids ran around and had a blast on the climbers and slides. The fun morning was topped off with pizza and cupcakes for lunch. After a trip home for nap to recharge, we headed back to the Bormet house for round 2. More playing, some tape the head on the dinosaur, musical fun and more cake. I hope Carl had as much fun as we did!

No Longer a Toddler

Megan transitions from her Toddler room to her new Twos room this week. Megan will miss her teachers Ms. Katrina and Ms. Grace. Megan loved to sit on Ms. Katrina's lap during story time and always started looking for her once we got to school. I'm sure there will be lots of visits to see Ms. Katrina!

Apple Picking

We decided to get in the spirit of fall before the weather turned really cold and headed out to go apple picking. We met Heather and Alicia and the Bormets there. Unfortunately, there were no apples left at kid level, but we did manage to fill our bags using the apple picker ... and we got a couple of apples while lifting up the kids. We probably could have filled our bags a little faster if everyone wouldn't have kept sampling the apples. :)
