October

October seemed to fly by so quickly with all our events and what seems to be the annual fall rush.  We've been having so much fun I haven't even had time to upload any pictures!

We decorated...

...and went on field trips.

We had a blast with Isabelle's dance team at the corn maze!  It was dark, it was muddy, and we put total faith in making it through in the hands of children under 10 years old.  It won't surprise you to discover it took us several hours to complete - serves us right!

Madeleine loved it too!  (Of course she did - Jason carried her the entire time except for the bonfire break in the middle with s'mores and hot cider.)

We carved pumpkins...

...and ended the month dressed as royalty for Halloween.

Cousin Vilia came dressed as her favorite thing in the whole world - a sweet little teddy bear!

Baby Shepard was there too, also dressed as a bear - albeit a more confused one.

Trick-or-Treating in our crazily decked-out neighborhood! 

Home at last after a fun night - even Princess Cinderella complained of sore feet!

Shepard chillaxed after his big night.  

The best part of the night - candy sampling!

Fall really is my favorite season - it's time to bring on the pumpkin pie!
