Pumpkin Patch, Great Falls and Birthday Mania



















October is over?!?! How can that be, it just started yesterday. SIGH. Anyway...October was chalk full of activities. I was able to chaperone Maddy's kindergarten class at the pumpkin patch...but forgot the camera. :-( However, Laura was nice enought to bring her entire family to VA so that we could go to the pumpkin patch with them! YEA! OK, she didn't come to VA to go to the pumpkin patch with us, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it! :-) We went to Cox Farm, spent an arm and a leg to get in and had a blast. I think we were there for 5+ hours, but I lost track of time and my mind along the way. There were really big slides, a corn maze, kettle corn, more slides, petting zoos, hay rides and other stuff.


We had some beautiful weather in October. One day we hit Great Falls Park for a picnic and some hiking. We had a great time and Noah got some much needed attention. Samantha was just done by the end of the day. :-)
















The end of October brought birthday mania. Hailey turned 8 and Samantha turned 3! I brought cupcakes into school for Hailey's class for snack one day, then we had the family birthday party for both Hailey & Samantha. Everyone came! Grandma Joyce, Emme, Nono and Great Nani, Grandpa and Grandma Ann, Paula, Neil (can you believe it? He came!!), Ian & Gavin, and Elaine. What Fun!!! Samantha requested a spider cake (she started requesting it two months in advance of her birthday!) and that is what she got. In additon to the family party, Hailey wanted to have her birthday party on Halloween, invite some friends over for a party, trick-or-treating and one lucky friend got to sleep over. Boy was it fun!















GOOD NIGHT!













I'm not sure what is going on with the picutres, but they are not posting where I want them, and of course I can't post ALL of the pictures here anyway. I will work on uploading them into albums and then inserting the links. However I wanted to throw some stuff up here for everyone!
