October

 In October I tried to take the kids to Sears for a photoshoot for their 1st and 3rd birthdays. Between ornery children and a horrible photographer I left, holding back tears. We came home, kids went to bed and I laid on the hammock. When they woke up I set up a background on Sophie's crib and shot a couple pictures. Then my friend Nicole went with us to the park and we took a few more (on a different day). These were the best we could get! I think they are pretty cute. 

We invited Dami (one of the residents) over to help us carve pumpkins. She had never carved a pumpkin before so it was pretty fun for all. Sophie made a princess castle and Liam made Lightening McQueen. I like how they turned out. Dami said she would have to continue to carve pumpkins so i guess she had fun. 

We also went down to Brett and Nancy's house the last weekend in October. Nancy works at a pumpkin patch so she got us tickets to go. It was huge! There was a fairy tale land, petting zoo, train, petal cars, corn kernel pit, air bubble jumper thing, and I'm sure plenty more. Sophie still talks about it. She always says, Have fun at the pumpkin patch!
