Halloween Party Time

This past weekend we entertained some of our friends for a spooky Halloween party.
It was relaxing and fun to be kid free for the night (Emmy was with Nana) and party our little hearts out!

Below is Nathan's hard work making our house spooky and scary.
He even made his own coffin! 
There were spider webs, black lights, strobe lights and scary, horrible sounds playing in the back ground.  

In an effort to keep Halloween not so scary with the kiddos we started calling the man in our window Bob.  He had to come down the next day!


TA DA!  Our costume reveal...


Among the number of talents my husband has, one of them is costume making.  He made our costumes last year and once again he delivered!  I was so happy with my angry bird!  Didn't he do a great job?!



Here's just a few of our friends...



The guys



The girls



And that's all there is!  I must have forgotten about my camera at some point because I stopped taking pictures.  Overall we had a blast!  I must say though the years are catching up to me...It was a very long recovery Sunday!

Pumpkin Pickin


Fall is here!! It's that time of year again and we couldn't wait for our trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  MacDonald's Ranch is our tradition for hayrides, pumpkin picking and of course the petting zoo!



HANGING IN THE PETTING ZOO


EMERY WAS IN AWE THAT SHE ACTUALLY GOT TO PET THE "CHEAPS" AND "HOSEES!"




SHE CHASED THE ROOSTERS...


AND GOT TO HOLD HER FIRST BUNNY!
SHE WAS SO CAREFUL TOO!


AKIRA HOLDING A BUNNY TOO!



 HORSE RIDES


 EMERY'S FIRST TIME ON A HORSE
SHE WAS A LITTLE SCARED BUT A TROOPER


I THINK SHE PREFERRED PETTING THE HORSE


THE LONG AWAITED HAYRIDE


EMERY WANTED ONLY THE BIGGEST PUMPKIN, EVEN THOUGH SHE COULDN'T LIFT IT. SHE WAS QUITE DETERMINED!


OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN





WE FOUND OUT PERFECT PUMPKINS AND LEFT THE RANCH WITH FUN MEMORIES!  DESPITE THE 90 DEGREE WEATHER, FALL IS HERE!!
