Halloween

I'm way late on Halloween.....    Go figure right?  We had a good time and stayed pretty low key.  Our neighborhood has an awesome downtown area so we took Sydney there to trick or treat after pre-school.  We came home and stayed low key for a bit then went over to my sister and brother in law's house where she went again!  Sydney was cinderella and Gabriella was a pumpkin.  Daddy also dressed up too!

Here are some picture's from the day...
Sydney and her school buddies
Being Cinderella is hard work!  We had to stop for a coffee break after round 1 of trick or treating. 
The goth and his princess.  Daddy joined in on the fun this year, complete with fake tattoo's!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a local pumpkin patch and had a great time.  I'm pretty excited for the Holidays this year because Sydney is getting excited.  Having kids is awesome for many reasons but let's be honest, one of the really awesome reasons is that you can re-live all of the awesome things that you used to do as a kid.  Anyway, back to the pumpkin patch.  Liepold Farms is pretty stinkin fun.  They have a corn maze, pony rides, a kids play area, and LOTS of pumpkin choices.

I'm pretty proud to say that we DID complete the entire corn maze, with two small children.  Pretty impressive huh!  I have never participated in a corn maze before and now that I did, I'm hooked!
One cool thing about the maze was the cool scene's they had set up all through out it.  This is one example!  It made it pretty fun to see what we were going to see next.

Sydney got to ride a pony.  All I need to say about this is that she LOVED it.

Sweet Gabriella was a trooper.

The ride home was a little interesting.  Both kids totally crashed.  Sydney even said that she wished she had a new mom.  I mean really, I thought that was stuff we would deal with at 15, not at 3.5!  That's the kind of stuff that just makes me chuckle.  I know she doesn't mean it and I also know I'm lucky to have her as my kiddo.  She's so outgoing and pretty funny too!  I'm excited for the other activities this holiday season.
