Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween this year! After a lot of thinking and back and forth-ness, Talia finally decided on being bridal Cinderella. We wanted Giana to be a mouse, but she did not want to have anything to do with the costume, so I bought her a Cinderella dress. They both looked beautiful and enjoyed being outside trick or treating.

Giana loved getting all of the candy and would just try to hold it all in her little hands, or eat it right away. She did not want to put any of it in her pumpkin. Talia tried to used her "princess voice" to say "trick or treat" or "thank you." I was proud of both of them for using their manners. They did a great job.

They both seemed to love giving out the candy too, as they both ran to the door every time the door bell rang. It is better to give than to receive, right?

Fun in the Leaves

Giana loved playing in the leaves! Kenny would try to rake the "pile" and Giana loved running through them--it was so cute to see her and hear her little giggles.

Didier Farms

We headed to Didier Farms with our friends this afternoon and had a great time! The girls loved all of the pumpkins and all of the rides. We also enjoyed some apple cider and apple doughnuts--yum!

Country Bumpkin and Carving Pumpkins

We headed just a few minutes from our house this afternoon to Country Bumpkin--a landscaping store withsome fun kid activities. The girls went through a dark straw maze, jumped on a bounce house with a big slide, searched/panned for "gold", and posed for some pics.

When we got home, Kenny and Talia carved a pumpkin. They had a great time working together and she was so excited to put the pumpkin outside with a candle in it.

We had a great day.

Talia's New Haircut

The girls and I went into the city so that I could get a hair cut, and the girls wanted to get their hair cut too! Look how cute Talia's short hair is!

Homework

Talia is enjoying doing some "homework" from my classroom at home. This afternoon, both girls were working on some pages at the same time. Giana is really starting to enjoy coloring, and it is great when we can get her to actually color on paper. Usually, it is the wall, the couch, the table, my computer top, etc...

But look how cute they are!

Apple Holler--Take 2

We headed back to Apple Holler today and we all had a great time apple picking! There were still so many apples left to choose from, although Kenny did have to climb a few trees to get some apples.

The girls loved picking apples:

and eating apples:

and riding in the wagon:

We also went on a wagon ride, fed some goats, and ran around and played in all of the other fun activities they had.

We had a great family day!
