Halloween

 We had a great time on Halloween!  Two school parties and then some trick or treating.  We first went to the Halloween party at Tiny Giants.  Then came home and took naps and went to Hola Kids for their party in the afternoon.  Once Dada got home, we headed to a friend's house and trick or treated in their neighborhood on 15th Avenue.  We had a great time and some tired kiddos after a fun-filled day!

 Trick or Treating

 First Trick or Treat for Emma girl!

My little Pilot and working man!

Loves!

I love looking at my kiddos when they gut up from their naps and this is what I see.  BFFs!

Pumpkin Carving

Caden helped me scoop out the goop from the pumpkin and then let me do the carving!

Neighborhood Halloween Party

This year, I was in charge of our neighborhood halloween party! We had a great time and I think that others did too! We gathered the kids and then sent them off trick or treating down our street. We also had a jumpy house and crafts and lots of great food brought in by all the neighbors. I love our neighborhood :)

Caden and Emma with all the kids

Might be my favorite picture of Emma!

Love my little Pilot and Butterfly

Caden was enjoying a delicious cookie (and was wearing his hat again!)

Cupcakes I made - yummy!

Emma's new way to eat raspberries

Emma loves to eat her raspberries off her fingers!  This is much better than smooshing them all over her face and hair! 

3 years, 5 months

Wow!  Can't believe Caden is almost 3 and a half!  Where has the time gone? (Seriously...)

Emma the frog!

We are now down to one frog - RIP Caden the frog!

We told Caden about his frog dying and we're not quite sure he totally understands it, but he knows that Caden the frog went to heaven to live with God and Jesus and that he lived a happy frog life.

Emma the frog (who now gets to eat crickets and meal worms)

Biking with Dada!

Dada finally got a new bike to pull the kiddos in the bike carriage! They had so much fun on their test run. This will be a fun family activity in the coming months and might just even me and Chris out in our biking abilities!

Dada biking

Enjoying the ride - at least Caden is for sure! Emma looks a little concerned :)

Blocks and Guitars

We were having a great Friday afternoon playing with blocks and singing with our guitars

Caden boy being cute!

My little climber

Today, Emma girl had a great time climbing at tumble bugs.  Here she is in action...I love my little adventurous girl!

Just being cute!

It was a beautiful day so we played outside for a bit after gymnastics. Emma was digging the pumpkins!

This is the one she chose

Fun Lunch!

Decided to make a fun Halloween lunch for the kiddos - grilled cheese cutouts and grapes!

Caden wanted the big bat and some little pumpkins and a little bat

Emma wanted a big pumpkin and a little ghost and bats

Pumpkin Patch

 We had a great time up at the pumpkin patch in Nicasio, CA.  Dada rode his bike up there to meet us at 10am.  We also met up with some families from Caden's Hola Kids preschool.  It was great to go to a "real" pumpkin patch.  We picked our own pumpkins, went on a hayride, played in a jumpy house and huge slide, and wandered through a few mazes!  We also ate a picnic lunch with hay bale seats.  It was a great farm and we will definitely go back in the future.

 Looking for a pumpkin

 Emma kept saying "heavy...heavy"

 I think he found the perfect pumpkin!
