Halloween 2013

We spent Halloween in Disney this year.  But we did so some fun things before we left.

We went to a Halloween party at my friends house.  She invited a ton of kids.  Hayden loved it.


Amelia was Doc McStuffins.  Hayden was a pilot from Star Wars.  Not Porkins :)


They had fun games like eating dangling marshmallows.  Hayden took the rules very seriously and wouldn't use his hands. 


Amelia on the other hand immediately grabbed it and ate it.  Ha ha.  She loves her treats.


Hayden loved the haunted house and  went in 3x.

We also went to truck or treating at mike's church.
 

Kennedy and Brady came along too

The kids had a good time despite the chilly weather.   We already had a good bit of candy and it wasn't even Halloween yet.

Pumpkin patch

I am a little behind.  I need to post some fall stuff  to post and then all of our Disney pictures.  All without my own computer.  Ugh.

We went to shenot's farm. We go there every year. It is just a nice low key pumpkin patch.

We took the free hayride up to the patch. Mike loves getting the free apple.
 

Once up top the kids just wanted to play in the corn maze. They loved it.

They fought over who got to be the leader so we had to go thru a few times. 

We got some pictures in the cut outs.

Then set off to find some pumpkins.
 

Amelia chose this "baby" pumpkin. 

She sang to it and kissed it.

Hayden picked out a bigger pumpkin and was happy with his choice.

I tried to get a cute picture of them in the patch but Amelia is  impossible. She will look everywhere but at the camera.

We rode the tractor back down and the kids got to ride the slide in the barn. They had a blast.

Photo dump

I don't have a computer right now so blogging is hard. Here a bunch of photos from my phone until I can make a real post ...

football

 
These pictures capture so much... a peak into life with 2 kids and the ups and downs... tears, fights, and happiness.  ha ha,   the frustrating steeler season, and the end of summer.   Look how tan I am!

We have been taking a family picture in our steeler jerseys since Hayden was born.  We just put the camera on the tripod and use the timer.  It has gotten much harder with the kids lately.  Picture one:  Hayden choking Amelia.  Picture 2  Hayden gets in trouble for choking Amelia.  Picture 3 everyone is happy finally.  (there were several pictures in between that didn't make the cut)

the kids
