September- November

So I thought I would have a ton of extra time because Grant started school full day. But for some reason I feel like I have less time.  So here's to another quarterly update.

 

We finally bought a annual pass to the zoo and the kids love it! In the kid's area there is free face painting.  We can't wait to go when the weather warms up a bit.

 

 

 Fall is our kids' favorite season!  Lots of pumpkin patches, festivals, and family traditions.

 

Trunk or treating is their very favorite!

 

 

 

My favorite activity is trying to find a couple costume idea that Chris will agree to.

The winner this year was... Google Maps. 

 

Maddie let me finally do something other than a pony tail.  We had to figure something out to go under a hat for her preschool fall festival.

Baking pumpkin cookies

 

Enjoying our special visitors and carving pumpkins- Grandma and Grandpa Anderson

 

 

Tractor rides

 

 

Bounce houses

 

 

and or course Madelynn's 4th birthday!  We love this sweet and silly little girl.  She really is a bucket filler!  Happy Birthday sweetie!

 

Now onto November.  I was asked to plan our Ward Christmas party, so not a lot of pics of the kids or doing laundry this month... sorry Chris.  But I was excited because for Thanksgiving we had some special visitors!  My sister and her family came and Chris' brother and his family came!

 

 

I hadn't seen Kristen in almost 3 years! It was so nice to catch up and meet her newest sweet baby.

 

My crazies mixed with her crazies!

 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends and are very grateful for them!

 

New Do for this little sweetie!  I cut it after her bath because we couldn't get the brush through it- hopefully this will cut down on tangles.

 

She loves it!
