October Happenings

Halloween was a hit! The trunk or treat was crazy and fun. I had no idea where my kids were the whole time. Thank goodness we were at the church.


Ivy is getting crazy.
 Andy is exact Tim, always building something or making something or trying to figure out how to make something. Then he always wants me to take a pic and send it to Tim.
 Last trip to the beach before winter. This is actually on the bridge that we cross which goes over the bay. Not a bad little commute for Tim everyday.

 Weather was a little chillier than it had been, I mean it was October, but the kids loved and and the water was still nice.


 I tried to get a good picture as we were leaving but the picture definitely did not do the sunset justice.
 We also took our last trip to Disney World. We went camping there (which is the greatest camping of all time by the way). Because we were camping, we had to bring everything and were LITERALLY packed to the brim. Check out the back seat. And we had to put the double stroller on the bike rack. Time for a new car for sure.

 We have annual passes but when we bought them, Minnie was free. So since she has turned 3, we have to pay for her. So we decided to just pay one day for her and I took her by ourselves, then Tim and the other 2 joined us in the evening. Then Tim took Andy the next day by themselves. Minnie lasted all day! She wanted to ride everything and see every character and watch the parade and eats it all up. Andy on the other hand...he was done in an hour and a half. We figured out we have taken our kids to Disney Parks about 27-30 days since Anderson was born. I am done with that for a while...The next time we go, it will be Tim and I alone. Kids staying home.




 We waited all day for Snow white, asked a million works what time she would come and barely caught her. Minnie loved it.

 As we rode the bus back to the campground, all 3 kids fell asleep. Seriously, we didn't know what to do. We have a double stroller but it's sit and stand so it's hard to sit the person in the back without slipping out. And we had a bit of a walk after we got off the bus. And, the kids were DEAD bodies and wouldn't wake up even if we tried. Luckily, someone took our stroller off the bus for us and somehow we make it back.
 At the Disney Campground, which also has the greatest swimming pool with multiple big slides, cable hook ups for your tv, like 8 outlets at each campsite, the nicest bathrooms and showers, laundry facilities, stores, playgrounds, and rentals for fishing, boats, horses and pony rides, they also have a campfire sing-a-long with Chip and Dale where you can roast marshmellows and make smores...like I said, my kind of camping.

October

I must admit Halloween is for sure my favorite holiday, even more than Christmas. My kids might like it as much too, so they were DYING to hit up the Pumpkin Patch. They were so fired up for all of the festivities and I was just fired up for the many many huge pumpkins.

 I think Tim was getting embarrassed that I kept taking pictures of just the pumpkins but I couldn't help myself.

 This is Ivy's face every time you ask her to say cheese for the picture. It kills me.
 And I took a picture of her hair, it's getting just as ridiculous as Minnie's clown wig used to be, maybe even worse!
 Let's be honest, the 3 cutest kids ever...:)



 Andy is not kidding here, he was thinking about which pumpkin to get. He does this face when he is thinking and says, "hmmm, hmmm" to himself. I caught the perfect picture of it. He could quite possibly be the most indecisive kid of all time. Taking him to the dollar store to pick out one toy is AT LEAST a 30 minute ordeal.
 Minnie getting a butterfly painted on her face...which lasted a whole 12 minutes.

 Ivy got a heart...she looks kinda ticked here.
 Petting Zoo...and a gallon of hand sanitizer at the entrance. Some lady seriously asked me what the sheep was...."I said a sheep," then she asked me what the goat was too...oh boy. She wasn't kidding either.

 Holding the bunnies...




 This is the kids new favorite thing to do with Tim...FISHING! I don't go because I'm bad luck, and it makes me CRAZY chasing Ivy so she doesn't fall in the water. So we stay home. But the kids LOVE it. And it's like 3 minutes away. They mostly catch tiny pin fish but they have caught a few others. Andy can even do it by himself.

 Andy was feeding the fish that didn't quite make it (see bucket below) to this bird. It's kind of cool to watch them eat it whole.
 Not a bad little catch. Seriously the only time they didn't catch anything is when I came, and we even tried 2 separate times that day with zero to show for it.
 This is where they go, it's called Boggy Bayou...we love it there.


 More October fun to come, we are taking our last trip to Disney World this weekend and camping...yikes. Hopefully we survive.

Old Pictures

We have now hit the one year mark for Minnie wearing glasses. She got them last October when she was 2. I took her to the doctor last month and her new prescription has improved each eye to 20/30 which was way better than the 20/60 they were. I was looking back and I have only one picture where you can see her lazy eye when it was starting to manifest itself. So glad we caught it and she is good to go now.

Family Pictures

Got new family pictures and it just so happened that Tim's parents were in town.
