Wrong

Seriously. It's after 11pm and I should be in bed. Sleeping. So I can wake up tomorrow. I have kids to get up and to school. What is wrong with me? This has been going on for awhile. Right about the time I should be thinking about going to bed, I don't feel tired. Very annoying. Especially with a little person shows up in my room before my alarm goes off (for real - why do they need to get up before 6:30am???) I think I'm going to start boycotting Daylight Savings cause its all their fault!

Fall



Pumpkins!  Isn't the owl AWESOME!! Zoe's original design!



Coffee in hand, muffins baking in the oven and a lazy morning ahead. Ahhh, one of the joys of a fall morning. We have had such a busy October, I feel like I am just now starting to enjoy Fall. I love having soup simmering on the stove, a warm fire, walks in the crisp air, listening to the girls talk about how much they LOVE Halloween! Now that November is here, we are onto Thanksgiving and planning for Christmas - we are busy, busy, busy!!



Our Cute Little Spider!



She loved that sucker!

Cute! Cute! Cute!

Love her to bits!



A very rare photo with all three actually looking at the camera!!



Zoe is into making crazy faces for the camera! This one is my favorite!

What a day for the Pumpkin Patch! It was blustery and cold but we had so much fun! We found great pumpkins and the girls were silly as usual! Harper was walking all over the place and thought the piggies were fascinating. Zoe was bummed that the haunted house wasn't open and Teagan spent the entire time looking for the perfect pumpkin!

All things Fall

We have had such a busy October and I feel like I haven't posted in forever! Life is busy with three girls. I've been trying to do some sewing projects and other things for Christmas, so my creativity has been else-where. I can't believe it is the end of the month and Halloween is this weekend. Some of the things we have done this month are:

• School activities - Zoe had her first homework last week and was so excited! Both Teagan and Zoe had school pictures and we are all waiting to see how cute they turned out! Parent-Teacher conference was today and Zoe is doing great! She is a hard worker and really getting into reading and writing! We are SO proud of her!!


• We visited the pumpkin patch with our friends and neighbors, the Fazio's. The kids had a great time running around in the hay maze and picking just the perfect pumpkin.


• Pear and Apple picking - our friend Shannon and Ryan have a bunch of apple trees that they have been so gracious to share the crop with us! Ryan's grandma had pears that we picked on a very windy, chilly day! I spent 2 days processing pears for fruit leather and baby food. I have to get going on the apples so I can re-stock my freezer with applesauce!

• Deciding on our Halloween costumes - the girls kept changing their minds and both finally decided they wanted to be Kitty Cat's - stay tuned for pictures!


• The 6th Annual Girls Get-Away Weekend - once again, a great time with the women in my family. It is so fun to see the little girls growing up and just getting to relax, eat great food, and enjoy the time with family.

Ok, can you tell these two are related???? My niece, Izabella, is 7 months old and is adorable.

Harper flung her arm over and her thumb did make it into Izabella's mouth! She got the funniest look on her face, as if she knew it wasn't her thumb but she'd suck it anyway!

I love this picture because they are holding hands - I had just set Izabella on the floor next to Harper and grabbing her hand was the first thing they did. I can only hope that they are best buddies growing up!
