October Fun

Every October, every year --- our calendars are so full.  The fall is my absolute favorite time of year.  I love the fall colors, the cooler temps, and football.  This year is no different.  We've had Preschool bike-a-ton, Hokie games, neighborhood Trunk-or-Treat, and Pumpkin Patch fun for all.  Next up is Halloween on Tuesday.

I know I wrote about this in the kids "back to school" post --- but there is such change happening this year with our Katie Bug.  She is maturing in ways that I'm not sure I expected at age 8.  The rides at the Pumpkin Patch didn't hold the same appeal for her as years past.  She prefers now to do the challenging corn maze with her dad, or paint ball gun.  Its a new phase we are all doing our best to navigate --- the first of many new phases I'm sure.

Jenna loved the bouncy house, the wagon ride, pumpkin bowling --- and her favorite was the corn kernel pit!!  She did not love mommy taking her picture a thousand times.  And oh, can she give "the look"!!!









We let both girls pick their own costumes this year.  Jenna chose Princess Pea (from Super Why).  She is obsessed with that show and is convinced that Princess Pea is the best of the super readers.

Katie chose to be Tinkerbell --- and with her blonde hair it fits.  She made her final decision as soon as she knew that light up wings were part of the deal.
