October in Review

In the beginning of the month we went to the Elegant Farmer to pick apples and pumpkins.

This is pretty much how A was the whole time the rest of us were picking apples:

Both of the girls really liked walking around to find just the right tree to pick from.

They had a hard time but they did eventually find the perfect pumpkins.

Afterwards they got to have carmel apples and ride some giant rocking horses.

One day we went outside to pick some leaves for a project J had at school.  Both of the girls were having fun playing with the leaves in the parking lot.  They said they wanted to jump in piles of leaves so they called Grandma to see if they could jump in her leaves.

One day J had a milk moustache and she asked me to take her picture.  These are the pictures that soon followed.

Last but not least we have our Witch and Doctor.
Jazmine-Halloween
J's page says: J wanted to be a witch for Halloween and I think she pulled it off pretty well. When she put on her costume she had this cute pouty face which really worked for this costume. We told her how good she looked when she wasn’t smiling so for the longest time she wouldn’t smile. It was so not like her so we kept thinking there was something wrong with her. After we figured out that she was playing with us she got a good laugh. As you can see, by the time she started trick-or-treating she was back to her “normal” self. This picture is a pretty good shot of how she looked the rest of the time. She was flying around the neighborhood.

A's page says: As soon as A saw this costume she really wanted to be a doctor for Halloween. The costume came with a name tag and I had a feeling that she already knew what she wanted her name to be. For the last few weeks she has had this little nickname that she has been calling all of us. “Pumpkin Mumpkin” When she was asked what kind of doctor she was she said that she was a doctor that helps babies. She said she helps them keep all their blood in. I think she really picked this costume just so she could play doctor at home with her dolls.

As always, we miss you all very much.  I hope you enjoyed seeing our pictures.
