Trunk or Treat and PreSchool Party

Well we started our Saturday afternoon with Boo in the 'Burg. I was so disappointed they advertised a bounce house, which they had, kids games they weren't set up yet and face painting which also I guess wasn't set up! They advertised to start at 2pm and we got there at 2:15. Oh well Avery jumped a bit in the bounce house then we headed home to warm up!

My friend and I traded our kids Halloween outfits that they wore last year so Avery got to be a bumble bee this year complete with a stinger :)

After Church we went home till Trunk or Treat started. She could hardly wait!

Her Scare-Mimi-Crow! How cute are they?!

Then we took a hayride....Brrr! By the time we got back they were deflating the bounce house and Avery's heart was deflating at the same time! I tried to get her to go in earlier but she wouldn't, she was pouting b/c none of her friends could come. Maybe next year!

Then on Monday, Halloween, the girls were allowed to wear their costumes to school! Natalie was a lady bug so I made Avery put on her bumble bee outfit for a cute bug picture.

Then the costume she's been DYING to wear....Minnie Mouse! Thanks again Aunt Janna for the outfit!

Best buds at PreSchool awaiting to start their fun filled day!

Fun Filled Fall Day!

Well it a was a nice NON-raining Fall day. Avery and I started the day off by going to my Dr's appt., then lunch at Wendy's, a little shopping at Elder-Beerman's, Freelander Park, quick stop at Proper's to hold the kitty, Walmart then home!


Thought I would do something fun and post my 36 week pictures of each pregnancy :)

Most people I'd say are guessing Boy, I've always thought boy (maybe b/c we want one) but a sister for Avery would be awesome too! Just getting anxious now with everyone guessing!

My appointment went well, butterball's heartbeat was 145 and she checked me, 1 cm dilated....9 more to go! :)

She's such a cutie!

Avery did SO good at the Dr's office and shopping so I surprised her with a our first trip to Freelander Park in Wooster, Ohio.

And of course we had to visit the kitties only to find one and later find out Spunk rode all the way from Proper's house to Church underneath a car and now his sister is missing!!!!! :(

Avery wanted a picture with all of us and this is the best I could do to get us all in the picture, my arms just aren't long enough!

An excited Miss A! She said she had the Best.Day.Ever! :) It was a fun girls' day with just her and I.

Another Fun Fall Day!

Well we decided to go to Ramseyer's again this year since I had gotten a free child's admission coupon at the Library for Avery's summer reading :) We went last year on Oct. 30th it was FREEZING that day so we thought we would go earlier in Oct. Well the sun was out some but man was it windy and cut right through you! Brrr! Kids had fun though!







She loves to get her face painted!

Miss Payton!

Miss Avery! Last year she didn't like these slides b/c they are bumpy! Can't blame her.

Wagon Ride! We skipped the big hayride since it was so cold and windy plus it was so busy!

Duck races!

Again loves feeding the animals.

Best I was going to get that day!

Flinging potatos!

We did the Mystery Corn maze and made our way through it, girl said it would take an hour and she was right!

Finding Wooly Worms!

Payton!

Abigail!

Love this picture! It almost doesn't look like our Avery!

Helping Brainerd's pick out a pumpkin!

Miss Riley! Kids had the energy to dance at the end!

Another Fun Fall Weekend!

Oh how I love Fall especially the month of October! It is a super busy time (even if I wasn't pregnant), so many things to do and it's our busiest time of the year at the craft store plus getting ready for our Christmas Open House the first full week of Nov! Saturday was a jammed packed day and I opted to pass working at the store to spend the day with family :) It was such a beautiful day and wanted to take advantage of it since it may be our last for awhile!


10am Avery and I headed uptown to the Antique Festival kids activities. She got her face painted.

She got to decorate her own pumpkin.

She loved her flower since it was her painted in her 2 favorite colors....pink and purple! Then we headed back home to wait for Janna and kiddo's to come and Mimi too. I at least got to sweep the downstairs really good, I wasn't home much that week and you can always tell! Then we headed to Winesburg dairette for lunch (a 1st for me....I know I can't believe I've never eaten there!), the onto Rolling Ridge Ranch.

I absolutely LOVE this picture!

I've never seen a turtle move, at least one this big, but this guy was on the go!

Avery was in heaven b/c she could FINALLY hold an animal, a baby duck!

and then a bunny! Kason held one for maybe 5 secs and was done!

Then it was time for our wagon ride!

Mimi and her munchkins!

Can't imagine having those awkward things on my head!

Looking a little tipsy!

"Are you looking at me?!"

Beautiful Holmes County, Ohio!

Woe is me!

Kids had a blast feeding all the animals!

Then back to Winesburg dairette for ice cream!

Then we rushed back to Millersburg to watch the rest of the antique car and Fireman's parade. Then headed to Mimi's who made dinner yet! Thanks for treating us to a fun filled day Mimi!


Then on Sunday we went to Church, stopped and got lunch at the Lion's Booth since Daddy was working, headed home ate and then walked to the Hall's to watch the main parade.

Ready for Church!

Avery and the Gilley kids waiving to all the Queens and Princesses!

Josh and Pop-Pop getting pelted by candy :)

The kids had a blast playing in the leaves after the parade!
