October Fun












October is a fun month. With halloween parties and preparation and birthday parties we are keeping busy. We have already had 2 parties, have 2 this week, 2 next week, and 1 the week after that. The girls are loving it. We copied Jenn's idea off her blog to make pumpkin patches and then went to a Colorado version of a pumpkin patch. We had a great time. Justin rode the tractor twice. There were goats, a slide into the hay, a maze thing, and then pumpkins lying on the ground for the kids to "pick." It was fun. Then, of course, we had to come home and carve our pumpkins. It was very exciting. Kids make holidays so much more fun.

Great pictures, again. As usual...

So, was it really cold in the house or are winter hats just the style for Colorado boys this year?

My favorite picture in this post is the one of Katelyn and her very own pumpkin patch. I love her expression and the way it is framed...

Your kids are seriously the cutest! Your girls are gorgeous and your little boy is simply to die for, could they even get any cuter? I don't even feel like I know them cause we don't get to see you guys enough, but they are darling! Hope you guys are doing great ;) PS You asked what hobbies to get into? I have 3 letters for you, and they are bad ones DVR.... record and watch, a bad hobby yet an entertaining one. It's Wren's and my favorite!

Ok- I love the pics, I miss your kids! (and totally laughing at Hans in that gansta outfit. Made my night.) Already carving pumpkins and such, what a great mom you are. I think I will go make some pumpkin chocolate chip bread to make myself feel like a ambitous mom. Where are the pics of you???

Hi Michelle, it's Holly, I hope you don't mind I linked to your blog from Katie Brown's. How are you guys?? Your kids are so darn cute. Hey, we have a Mia now, too! We call her Mia Jane. I was reading your last few posts and I have a couple of hobby suggestions for ya. First of all, think of something you don't know much about but are very interested in knowing more. This could be photography, apholstry, refinishing furniture, art, anything at all. Then go to the library and check out books on it. Then see if CE courses are offered on the subject. EX., I saw a couch apholstered and didn't have the money to buy it but I wanted to know how to do it myself. I checked out books on it, ended up taking a 6 week CE course on it, and now I have a really fun chair that I never would have had! Not only that but now I have three crazy peices of furniture in the garage waiting to be upholstered. There is so much to learn and so many fun things to do out there. Especially with the internet as a resource Ü

Hey, I would love to catch up with you, my email is just my name at gmail.com.
