Halloween's Past

As I was going through some old pictures I came across these. Look how little they were when they were Tinkerbell and Peter Pan. They get so big so fast.

Halloween Treats

I signed up to bring Halloween treats for Gabe and Maddie's Halloween party at school. Gabe's is today, so yesterday I made these:

EyeballsWitches Hats

Unfortunately, Dave and I were woken up at 3:00 this morning by a sick child. Yup, Gabe has what Maddie had. Maddie only had her fever for 8 hours, so cross your fingers that Gabe's doesn't last too long either.

It's Almost Halloween

Only 5 more days...

Gabe is definitely ready.

New Coats

The kids' new winter coats came in the mail today. They love them and couldn't wait to try them on. Now I just have to find hats, gloves and boots to match.
ETA: I didn't notice the reflective band around the bottom of their coats until I looked at the picture. It's so thin you don't even notice it until you flash a camera (or lights) at it. I guess they'll be safe if they're ever out at night.

A Reason To Celebrate!!!

Gabe no longer qualifies for speech therapy!!! That is the coolest thing ever!!! Go Gabe!!!

Bloomsbury Farm

Most of you know yesterday was my birthday. Usually we go to the cider mill for my birthday. Iowa doesn't have the apple orchards like Michigan does, so we ended up going to Bloomsbury Farm and we had a blast!

There was a jumping pillow,

photo opportunities,

a petting farm,
more photo opportunities,bikes for the kids to ride,a tractor train,a giant slide,a corn box
(something I've never seen before, but it was both Maddie and Gabe's favorite)more photo opportunities,lots of tire swings,pumpkins,more photo opportunities,and pig races.

The Apple Song

Gabe has been singing this song all week.



One little apple hanging in a tree,
teasing Mr. Slinky Worm, can't eat me.

Along came Mr. Slinky Worm, quiet as can be,
and CRUNCH!
