Some photos from Halloween.

This year we had a death warrior (?), a fairy and Black Panther, of course. The kids had their annual dry ice bath (which can't be good for them but is so much fun - thanks Jeff!) and trick or treat with cake for Josh's birthday. 

Fall Day, 2018!

Twas annual Family Fall Day so we put on our brave faces and fourteen layers of clothing and headed to the pumpkin patch. We never time this right so we are always either sweating or freezing when we do this each year. 2018 proved to be the latter. That was the coldest hay ride of my life. 

Hot cider and motivational speeches got us through. "We're having so much FUN, right guys?!"

 these folks are troop-ers.

Then it was home for mulled cider, homemade donuts and pumpkin carving. (Or painting if you're Ever). Oren managed to get three adults to carve his pumpkins for him and Marisa slayed hers as always. We ended the day with bowls of chicken noodle soup and "it's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown" so I'd call that a success all in all.

 Happy fall, y'all!

Photos from Easter

I'm doing my best to get caught up over here and finally downloaded all the photos from Easter off of the good camera. We decorated eggs, went on an egg hunt at Stan Hywet and had our traditional Easter morning bunny butt pancakes. Here are some photos if you'd care to see...

The kids painted eggs using my favorite kits!

 The next morning we headed out for the egg hunt

The brightest spot in our weekend was when Wes found one of the "golden eggs" hidden on the grounds. There are only a couple out there and he has been dying to find one for YEARS. You get to pick an extra prize if you find one (Wes chose a frisbee) but it's really all about the competition and not so much the prize. He was SO PROUD!

Then it was time for Oren's hunt...and that's when the camera died. 

Sorry Oren and Ev, we'll try again for pics next year!

The new Easter dress I ordered came just in the nick of time the night before Easter. She was so excited to twirl in it!

Hope you all had as happy an Easter as we did!
