Halloween 2014!

Grace Community Church Trunk or Treat!







Carving Pumpkins!

My Emmy was an awesome helper...She scooped all the seeds and guts out of the pumpkins while I did the carving...J&J watched while munching on Cheerios and Sis screamed non-stop for the 45 minutes after I (apparently) woke her up prematurely from her nap.


Emmy's Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch
The only picture I took was of Hannah. :-P

James and Julia's Hayride/Pumpkin Patch at School!
(Jill was so sweet to send these to me!!)





Emmy's School Halloween Party!



Pin the nose on the pumpkin!


Hannah and Emmy traded costumes...Hannah felt very important being in Emmy's classroom. ;)




Emmy makes our side-dish!  This girl has been desperate to cook lately so this was a great project...



Our Frozen ensemble! :)

Fall Fun!

This fall has been a string of Nick's work trips and sick bugs, but, thankfully, we have managed to squeeze in some fun...

Hannah hooked Juju up with some yogurt for snack.



One of my shadows.




Juju and her bestie, Kitty.


Nick surprised the girls when he got home from Japan!


SO HAPPY!

Apple picking!


The apples were pretty well picked-over but we are a determined and resourceful bunch, so we grabbed a few from way up high.

A Kitty sandwich.







A warm fall day called for apple cider slushie from the orchard store...DELISH!!

Puzzle buddies.

Having fun with Daddy. :)



A porch swing to fit the family at a really cool barn sale we checked out in the middle of the countryside.


This was Hannah's tantrum BEFORE we picked our pumpkins.  There was a matching fit after we finished.


Our big girl. :)


James is ALWAYS up for a good time.

The perfect pumpkin!

You pick it, you haul it. :-P





Even though he is my most active child, James is the most cooperative when I'm trying to take pictures.  He laughs at anything I do...This time I was snorting like a pig and he laughed harder and harder every time I did it. :-P

Christmas Preparations and Winter Fun!

  Operation Christmas Child James in the Christmas Musical! Hannah and the fifth graders in the lead roles! Hannah is Frostine :) There'...
