As soon as September hits in our house, smiles widen and life gets quite a bit busier. We love the change in the weather and the beautiful colors that begin to explode on all the trees. It is also the time when Michael travels more on the weekends. Therefore, when Michael has a weekend free, we make the very best of it.
First, we went to Dollywood with some dear friends. Michael's brother, Jeffrey, describes it as a giant Cracker Barrel with rides...a perfect description of a wonderful place!
Michael and Joshua on the scrambler.
Here's Joshua dancing and singing in one of the shows at the park. I guess he's not going to be our shy one.
These are a few photos from a Saturday at a local pumpkin patch. It is no small event. There was face painting, crafts, mazes, food, hay rides, slides and swings. So much fun! Even better, it is owned by the family of Joshua's former Pre-K teacher. She fixed us up for a fun day with extra tickets for free food and fun :-)
Last, but certainly not least, HALLOWEEN! Our kids love wearing costume. Halloween just seems to be an excuse to add to the costume closets. This year, Joshua chose to be Snake Eyes, the GI Joe Ninja. Andi was a flying pony. Or a princess riding a flying pony. Or a princess flying pony. It was never quite clear, we just know she was super cute! And then there was Christian. We decided to just buy him a Super Man t-shirt and call it a day. Next year, he'll have his pick of the litter.
