The last week of October was SUPER busy. With 2 pumpkin patch stops - Mother Nature's Farm and Schnepf's Farm, then a class Halloween party for Brady's Pre-K, then the Babcock and Sowa's party it sure was hectic, but of course, fun.
Schnepf's Farm is typically an annual stop for all of us. We just couldn't seem to find time for it this year...but, Brady and I did get to go with his class - his 1st Field Trip!! It was hot, exhausting, and fun. We traveled around with 3 boys and their moms from Brady's class. The boys had a blast - and Brady was out before we even left the parking lot!
Too cute - this one is before we were escorted into the farm...before the exhaustion sets in!
Choo choo - the famous train ride...it's scary at night!

Little monsters...
Brady and A.J - getting ready to fly the plane
Sweaty and hot - in line for the coaster...
the boys didn't want their moms to ride - they went alone
Buzzing by on the bees

Just a bit hot - cute pink cheeks
Collecting our "free" pumpkins and finishing homemade ice cream - YUMMY!
The Halloween party at Brady's class was a definite success. Mrs. Allison is the GREATEST teacher. She had several different stations set up with "Halloweeny" crafts - pumpkins, black cats, spiders, decorating cookies, puzzles, and "hammering" golf tees into pumpkins (this might not sound that great - but it kept the kids busy forever). I will think again before I bring Lily to a class party for Brady. I feel bad - I didn't really get to focus on Brady as I should. But...luckily, he doesn't seem to have cared.
The Halloween Bash at the Babcock's was a blast. The fam's with kiddies met at 6pm to go trick-or-treating as a group - and boy what a group it was:
Ashley, Brett, Ry and Jake
Dawn, Bryan, Brady and Lil
Cori, Mike and Aidyn
Tara, Bob and Ava
Nanny and Poppy
Robin, Aaron and babe Lincoln and of course, Aunt Karen
Debbie, Lindsay and Lily
Jacki and Sheldon
Jamie, Robert and Haily
Pam and Kevin
p.s - I hope I didn't miss anyone!! :)
I'm sure we looked crazy walking down the street together - but, it was SO fun! We only went out for about 1 hour...but, with 30 people - think 5 minutes at least per house. Lots of falls - Jake and Brady especially...but, no serious injuries.
Once the kids (or should I say little kids) were in bed - PARTY. It was a fun time had by all - lots of talking, food, drinks, and of course the norm beer pong, darts and poker. I think we had some very creative costumes - Deal or no Deal, the Alltel commercial guys, Sarah Palin, Gilligan and the Skipper, Nun and Priest, scary nurse and patient, and my personal fave - foosball table people. Check it out:
We are now so exhausted - we had to pass on the 2 other party invites for tonight...cleaning ALL day and are pooped! Happy November 1st - too close to Christmas, it's scary!
Thanks for the comment. The ideas at this Halloween Party are so so funny. I'm yelling at my husband right now telling him to come downstairs and look at the foosball couple.
