Fall Festivities

We have once again been diving fully into all of the fall festivities for the month of October!  

PUMPKIN PATCH
We went to a pumpkin patch & they said you could pick as big of a pumpkin as you wanted so I literally picked the biggest one that I could carry by myself! All the other moms were impressed by my big muscles ;)  Here is the kids with their new best friends that moved in a few houses down. 


 Vic had a work meeting in Indianapolis so we joined him at the hotel & then went to the zoo while he was in meetings.
INDIANAPOLIS ZOO
 They happened to have Zoo Boo going on so the kids got to play games while they were there.


 Ha, Whit looks like Hitler :)
***NOTE TO SELF: ADD IN REST OF ZOO PICTURES HERE!*********
ART CLASS
 Tommy finished his fall art class that he'd been going to once a week.  He really liked it & I wish there was another session before we move! Can you believe Tommy was wearing those shorts to the park on October 13th & a few days later he had to wear a winter coat! It turned to winter overnight here!
FALL TREATS
 We had fun making these marshmallow candy corn men for our friends.
 MILESTONES!
Tucker started crawling & waving hi.
He also randomly started saying "dada, tada, & tu tu" so not sure if we get to count "dada" as his first word or not!
CRAFTS
 Me made pumpkin snowman guys & painted them.
ZOO CARNIVAL 
Our local zoo has "Boo at the Zoo" so we layered them up for it.
 Even with the layers they froze!
 They had a train ride with scenes from classic children stories.  This was Tommy's favorite part so I guess it was worth the long wait!


 This little horse ride was Whitney's favorite.



MALL TRICK OR TREAT
And last, we went to the mall to trick or treat which was fun because the kids got to actually wear their costumes how they were meant to look without layers!
 Whitney was always all shy walking up to the candy givers, but then came racing back with a huge grin every time.
...and many more things to add to our list in the next couple of days!!

Looks like the kids are loving Halloween, fun parties and everything. I noticed that Tommy's candy holding pumpkin was blue too so it would match his costume, nice.
