Halloween Activities

October was full of fun activities.  Another "dump" of photos means lots of volume, but look carefully as there is often value in the series...
  • Greenfield Farm (corn maze, spider web, live animals, tractor ride, scarecrow faces, etc.)
  •       Trick or Treating at a Nursing Home
  •       Carving LOTS of pumpkins in the driveway
  •       The neighbor's annual Halloween Open House across the street
  •       Trick or Treating with the usual suspects (and Molly somehow bolting    out to join us!)
 











 
Handing out candy - they love it just as much as trick or treating!






Precious praying!

Her maternal instinct with Matthew has been so sweet from the get-go.

Sucking it up at football practice, sweet thing!















"You don't say?!"

Kindergarten Field Trip
 
Waiting for Margaret's preschool door to open.

Preschool Parade - so obedient to her teacher's instructions, she wouldn't even wave at me!


Bus stop, in the dark, with a flashlight.  These kids officially go to school TOO early!

Family Photos!

Couldn't be more thrilled with the shots that my wonderful friend, Jenn Coon, captured for us.

2nd Week in Oct.

Matthew - 9 months….
Margaret - 3+

Me: ”Margaret I need to vacuum but Matthew doesn’t love the vacuum so I might need your help playing with him.” 

Margaret, singing: ”It’s okay, Little Biddy.  You don’t need to cry.  God is with you!” 
Hoodies at the bus stop.

Lunch at Woodbrook - Not surprisingly, Margaret marched right into the cafeteria and hopped up into a chair for lunch as if she was supposed to be there everyday with the big kids.
