.:Family Pictures:.

We got out to take some family pictures this fall. We used Your Vantage Photography (Sam and Nikki’s business) and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It was super cold, so we did a flash mini session, but we got some great shots!

And us.

I also had a free session to use at local studio (Pic Couture) so I took the girls there for some more pictures. Rem and Harp were complete nightmares the entire time, and I was sweating a lot and thinking choice words by the end, but you would never know it from these pictures!

I sure do love this little family of mine. A lot.

.:Halloween:.

Halloween was so much fun this year. The girls are all at fun ages, and they totally get it! I decided to forgo coordinating costumes this year and let the girls pick. Reece went with Doc McStuffins, Remi was Jessie, and Harper was a unicorn.

We had a Halloween play date with our friends, and turned our princess dolls into mummies. It was pretty cute. (Remi didn’t want to be in the picture).

Then of course, we had to decorate sugar cookies.

We also had fun carving pumpkins, though none of them were too excited about taking the guts out of the pumpkins.

We spent Halloween with Sam, Nikki, Evie, and Jay. The kids all looked adorable, and they had a great time Trick or Treating. And they made out good! We were still working on Halloween candy in January!

After Trick or Treating, we went back to Sam and Nikki’s for chili and scones. Perfect ending to a fun day!

.:October Fun:.

We had a fun month of October, full of fall festivities and field trips!

The first thing we got to do was visit Cornbelly’s. It was such a fun family evening!

The girls had a great time visiting the princess area and using the dress ups. I know, real shocker there!

There were also some fun horses to ride and sit on.

There were some bounce houses that we made good use of as well!

Next up was a bunch of slides coming down from a massive stack of hay bales. This was seriously their favorite part of the entire evening! We could have spent our whole time there and they would have been completely happy. Next to the slide area was a wooden wagon that Rem and Harper had fun playing on.

We did the potato sack slides, and next to it was a fun pumpkin display that flashed lights to music. It was a nice break to sit and watch that after being on our feet for awhile.

We rode in the little cow cars,

watched little shows,

and ate churros and drank hot chocolate.

It was such a fun nite!

Reece and Remi’s pre-schools both visited the same pumpkin patch for their fall field trips, so we got to go twice! It was a great little farm that took you on a hay ride, had animals to pet, corn kernels to play in, and a stack of hay bales to play on. Then we got to take home some pumpkins at the end. We went with Remi’s class first.
