Halloween Party

This past Saturday we were invited to a Halloween Party at the house of one of Spencer's daycare friends. The kids had a fantastic time decorating pumpkins, sifting to find "treasures", decorating bags, making magnets, and their favorite...wrapping daddy up like a mummy with toilet paper. Abigail looked adorable and loved the "pixie dust" that we sprayed in her hair. Spencer was very proud in his Peter Pan costume and especially loved spraying his hair red. There were lots of yummy treats and lots of friends to play with. Mark and I also got to dress up for the first time in years. I was very creative and went all out dressing up as a witch. Mark looked great as a member of the Blue Man Group.

Fun at Home

Last Thursday we enjoyed a lazy morning at home. Spencer wanted a tent like his friend Andrew's so after I made a satisfactory replica, they enjoyed cookies and tea from Abigail's Princess tea set. They had a great time and enjoyed some TV shows from "their house" I love times like these when they play so well together!

Bishop's Pumpkin Farm

After I got off work yesterday we took a trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland with the Vanden Akkers. This has come to be a yearly ritual and Mark and I enjoy it just as much as Spencer and Abigail. The kids had a great time on the hay ride, looking for pumpkins, playing with the goats at the petting zoo, jumping in the hay pile, and of course their favorite was riding the train. They all loved their apple cider at the end and Leslie and I got some caramel apples "to go." We finished off another fun filled evening with our neighbors at Applebees for dinner. Fall is definitely my favorite time of year!!
