Man it seems like when October hits our house we don't stop running til the New Year. The time just goes by so fast its sometimes hard to stop and enjoy the moment with my girls. Both of the girls are growing up so fast. Mackenzie is just loving life and the activities that Winter offers our family. This year we did something different for Halloween and I think we will continue to do it. We went to our friends Halloween party, they had games for the kids, games for the adults and of course you can't forget....food. What is a party with out food. Unfortunately it was in the evening so Emma dressed up for the occasion and then headed off to bed right after pictures. I am so thankful that my kids are flexible and are able to sleep at other peoples houses so we can still enjoy such events. Of course we also went trick o treating the night of with my sister and her kids, my parents and my brother and his fiance and son. The more the merrier I say. I am so glad I am able to pass these little traditions down to my kids. I have such fond memories growing up doing the same things with my friends. We also got to take a trip to Charlottesville and meet my Sister in Laws and some of their friends for the day and go to a pumpkin patch. The kids had so much fun I think we will make it a yearly thing. They had corn mazes, farm animals, hay rides and tons of different things for the kids to play on and slide down. I think the gigantic slide was Mackenzie's favorite thing to do. We dressed up as thing 1 and thing 2 and Mackenzie was the cat in the hat. Unfortunately, we couldn't find anything for Emma so she was our beautiful fairy.
They had to eat the doughnut off the string without using their hands. they also played pin the nose on the pumpkin and they had a pumpkin bins you had to throw balls in.
