Fall-time fun...

Ok...I have come to grips with the fact that I am a rotten blogger. I won't even try and make any lame excuses either. I am just busy...(or too lazy) on a daily basis and facebook seems to much easier! AHHHH!!! I HATE facebook but I am shamelessly addicted. I vowed for years that I wouldn't get on there...and now I check it at least once a day. SO LAME. Takes up too much of my life. I much prefer to come back months later and read my stupid blog posts and see the pictures of the kids, then go back a few months and read about how some dumb person I knew once upon a time earned a spotted duck on Farmville. SO! On that happy note- here I am again trying to make amends by posting some of our Autumn adventures. Like our awesome jaunts to Silver Lake up the mountains for some fresh air and stick hunting. My Elijah is obsessed with sticks. Any kind of stick. And he will carry them and hug them and sleep with them and walk around shoving it in random strangers faces -narrowly missing their eyeballs- screaming "A Dick! A Dick!" I know- hilarious right. At least the dick part. Makes me laugh. The fall leaves are so beautiful and this time of year has always been my favorite. I love the fall decorations. I love the crisp air and I love how sometimes you can walk outside on a cold night and smell someones wood burning stove. mmmm. Good stuff. Anyhow- here are some shots of silver lake.






And of course Elijah with his stick. This next picture I thought was stinking hilarious. We were out searching for Halloween costumes and this headband cracked me up...

Now we are on to Halloween stuff. We have taken the kids to several different pumpkin patches and mazes and they have loved it. The witches at Gardner village were a big hit too. I know I am a slacker but the camera was missing in action for most of it. Boo. But I found these two random pictures and I am posting them anyway just to say that I did. The other cute little girl in the picture is Kennedy's friend Jevaeha. My daughter ADORES her.

And last but not least my cute kiddo's in their Halloween costumes. We had a beautiful Princess Tiana and an adorable Frog. The kids loved it and Elijah croaked out "Ribbit's" all night. Very fun. In spite of the rain we had an awesome Halloween complete with trick or treating and carving 13 different pumpkins that we grew in our garden this year. It was an awesome time.

For whatever reason Kenna refused to wear the princess crown that goes with her dress. Oh well. I wasn't going to force her. She is so sweet!

He melts my heart!

Well hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. I am now counting the days till Thanksgiving and a visit from Neil and Annie. Woohoo!
