Trick-or-Treat x 2 !!

Thank you Uncle Bobby, Auntie Nikki, Felicity, and Lucas for letting us come over to trick or treat a second time!!  Morgan and RJ were very lucky to go out two times this year!!  The kiddos went out with Uncle Bobby, their friends, and neighbors.  So cute, check them out!  I got to stay in with Nikki and hold little Lucas the whole time!!  Yea!!  So sweet!!!

No power = Bonding. A LOT of bonding!

What a week we have had!  Although there is a post on Wed for Wordless we still didn't have power then... I just back dated so I didn't miss a week for WW!

This week went by slow yet fast!  Starting with a day off of school Monday and having a blast with the kiddos (although I wished we would HAVE had school...)  THEN... power went out late afternoon.  Ugh.  And it STAYED out until late Thursday.  UGH.  BUT.. overall with the crazy hurricane (thanks Sandy) we didn't have any damage to our house or property.  We should feel lucky!  I had to work Thursday (two hour delay) and then I had to take a sick day today because we had no one to watch the kiddos and their schools still didn't have power!

Lots of dog snuggles...

 Reading...  I even started and finished a book... Plain Truth by Jodi P.  Good book!

 Lots of dry erase practice...

 Wed morning we ran to Cabella's to get a generator... too late if you asked me since all our food (sooooo much) in both fridges and freezers had to be chucked... but the kiddos had fun at a WARM store for a bit while Daddy did the transaction!  Whew! 

 

Not pictured... MANY dance parties, puzzle putting together, warm fires, layered clothes, and junk food.  We had no other food so crunchy snacks from the cupboard made us through!

Lots of family time this week!

Wordless Wednesday - 44

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 

...FROM A POWERLESS NEIGHBORHOOD!

Yea to MeMom being able to stop over during our trick-or- treating!!

RJ guarded our candy and MADE SURE to tell each child "ONE PIECE!" 

TOO funny!

Fall Pictures

While we were celebrating fall fest I got some fall shots of the family yesterday!  Enjoy! (I am!)

Swinging together to finish our photo shoot!  

Perfect ending to a fun afternoon!

A twist to our day...

Our day in a nutshell that had been planned (by Bob)... and I LOVE when we have a planned day...
Soccer --> Peddler's Village for scarecrows --> Apple picking at an orchard --> try a new restaurant in Warrington --> hayride in Warrington --> come home pooped! 

MAJOR Change of plans!!  First stop... soccer (check)

Peddlers Village... nope... I called to make sure the scarecrows were still up because of the impending storm.  The lady told me that some people were/had been taking them down because of the storm coming... Bob was already STRESSING out about the storm so he was happy not to go out for the whole day.

(*SIDE NOTE - This 'storm' is driving me crazy! There is no reason to drive 3+ hours one way to get a generator... which is what Bob wants to do...especially when I finally get my whole family for the weekend...I want to SPEND it with them.  His suggestion... let's all drive as a family to get it... um? NO thanks!)

So after soccer we went home and cleaned up the outside... then got in the car to do something... I asked that we at least find a place to take our fall photos before the impending rain and wind knock off the last of the leaves... Bob was game for that and started driving.  We thought that maybe we would head to a local orchard to pick some apples instead of driving a far distance... then we stumbled upon a fall fest being held by camp Men-O-Lan (which is five minutes from our house).  We figured we would check it out!  The below pictures are from our visit at their fall fest.  It ended up being a fun (FREE) time for the kiddos!  They got to see an animal show (by a CRAZY animal lady -- I guess the best kind), gather candy around the cabins, play games, play on the playground, and best of all we got to spend some fun time together as a family!

As Bob said we got an even BETTER time... not sure if I believe him... I am still sad I missed the scarecrows this year... but we did have a nice day together as a family.

Old fashion tether ball!

An enjoyable day together as a family!!
