The Month of October

Lily's Pre-school Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

This was a local farm on the island and not only did they have a field full of pumpkins for the kids to walk through and select their very own pumpkin but they gave the class a tour of what else they had on the farm such as peacocks, turkeys and cows. Despite it being rather chilly the kids enjoyed themselves and so did I :)

 Lily's class and her two Teachers Miss Sarah and Miss Michelle (we love them).

The kids really enjoyed this hay stack maze.

Halloween 

This year my mom helped me make Lily's and Caleb's costumes and they turned out darling in my opinion.  Lily was "Little Red Riding Hood" Caleb was the "Wood cutter" who saves the day and Kylie was "The Wolf". Caleb was very excited about getting to walk around with an axe but he wasn't allowed to see or touch the plastic axe until about an hour before it was time to go trick or treating and once he finally got to hold it his first word was "YES!" Then he was all about show casing it in pictures :) Funny guy. Oh and the feather in Caleb's cap is a real pheasant feather ... we ate the owner of the feather a couple sunday's ago after Eric shot it on his first pheasant hunt :)

The outdoor pictures were hard cause no one wanted to look at the camera (busy watching the neighborhood kids running around on lawns) and half of their smiles aren't the real thing and Kylie refused to stay put o'well they still look cute.

 Kylie was my "hand out candy" buddy while Eric took the two older kids trick or treating around the neighborhood. They were back by 7:30 and we ran out of candy to hand out around 8 so Halloween didn't last too long for us :) but as short as it was the kids enjoyed the holiday.
