Happy Halloween

Halloween night started out with a little dinner and playing at Charmian's house. After that the kids were eager, ready and a little unsure of what to expect.

We attempted a short photo shoot with all the kids but that didn't go as planned, lol. So here are half the kids.
And here are all of them!
First house we went to

Ellanie asking Logan if this is for real!!
And they are really starting to like it now and getting the hang of it!

Almost the end of the night and I finally got her to put a piece of candy in her bag. Before that it was an eat as you go activity!
But by the next house she was over the bag! Which was handmade roughly 10 minutes before leaving.
My little Mickey and Minnie Mouse had a great time and can't wait for next year!

Breakfast in the Park

What a great way to spend a Sunday morning, having a picnic in the park with Grandma. She made great egg burrito's, fruit and apple juice.

After breakfast we were off to feed the ducks, one of the kids favorite things to do.
Thanks for all the great memories!! We love you Grandma!

Pumpkin Party

Getting ready for Halloween meant pumpkin carving time! Some friends came over and we all carved pumpkins together.

Ellanie was pretty into it but Logan was more into the bounce house.
All the kids had a great time carving pumpkins, bouncing, playing and eating!

Can't wait to do it again next year!

Party at Pretend City

We had our first dress up attempt and since I was behind on getting Ellanie's costume made, they went as Thing 1 and Thing 2. We had a great time at the Pretend City Halloween party.

Fall Festival

Our old neighborhood held a fall festival and since we remain very close to everyone there we joined in on the fun!

Which included Ellanie's first pony ride :) She was so brave and rode on the pony for a while!

Riding her big girl birthday bike from Grandma.

We made a stop at the face painting booth and Ellie got some hearts painted on her hand.

Logan fell asleep in the stroller ( he didn't want to take a nap that day ) but woke up in time for snow cones!
He checked out the horses but decided not to ride.
We had a great time and headed off to the park when we were all done.

Mickey Mouse Sighting

It was our second trip to Disneyland and we spent most of our time in Toon Town exploring. But it started out with meeting Mickey Mouse himself, Ellanie was scared and stayed with Grandma and Logan gave him high five but wanted out fast.

The kids loved all the houses you can run through and everything they offer to explore.
They stopped to have a quick conversation with each other.
