Thanksgiving Things

Fall isn't over yet, and we certainly haven't moved on to Christmas. There is more Fall fun to be had! This past week we enjoyed some more Fall crafts and some leaf jumping fun.

Our pumpkin glasses, which were made out of pipe cleaners.
 

 

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies-which pairs nicely with hot cocoa.
 

And jumping in the TONS of leaves in our front yard. The children had so much fun doing this! They were out there for hours. What good, cheap fun.
 

 

 

 

Even Thatcher enjoyed our leaf pile jumping party!
 

 

We also have enjoyed doing some more Fall/Thanksgiving crafts.
 

 

 

Everett only has two days of kindergarten this upcoming week, so we are looking forward to some more turkey crafts, baking, cooking, and I am sure more leaf pile jumping!

Trick or Treat!

We had another fun year trick or treating. It just keeps getting better and better. We let the children pick out their costumes this year so we ended up with a Spiderman, Jake the pirate, Izze the pirate, and a monkey (picked by mama). They loved it! We went again with our friends the Mertens. This marked our third year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We ended up with a TON of candy and some very excited children. SO fun!

Big Man

Everett loves to talk about when he is a "big man" one day. According to him, he's going to have a beard, wear contacts, and have cards (debit cards). I think he wants to be just like his Daddy. So for the past couple of months he's also been asking for a tie. I find him one and I think it so suits him. He loves it!

 

Lego Land at the Arboretum

We stumbled upon a little treasure at the arboretum a couple weeks ago.....sculptures made completely of Legos! Our boys LOVE Legos and play with them for hours, so this was a real treat.

 

An excited Everett. It took a while for them to process that those were Legos.
 

 

Sweet Eleanor was thrilled as well.
 

 

 

Oh we love the arboretum in the Fall.
 

 

It's just a gorgeous place to run and explore.
 

This one was especially neat.
 

We spotted four little pumpkins-how fitting!
 

 

 

We had such a fun afternoon at the arboretum. We love it anyways, but add in Legos-perfect!
