Fun Fall Festivities

October has been a great month for us (barring the recent illness that the last post highlighted). My mom and Dave came to visit for an extended weekend in the beginning of the month. Alahna loves having Grammy and Papa around. We got to go to the Children's museum, Morris Arboretum, a nice Italian resteraunt that actually had gluten free pasta/pizza, and best of all just spend good quality family time together.








We celebrated Alahna's birthday early, since my parents won't be here for the real deal. She was quite excited for the pumpkin ice cream and lots of wonderful presents. An Ariel barbie doll, Curious George Movie and Elmo movie have provided hours of entertainment =)




The following weekend we went to a pumpkin patch with Alahna. This was no ordinary pumpkin patch. It had a play place, train, hay rides, entertainment for the kids and of course a TON of pumpkins. We had a great family day enjoying the beautiful fall weather.








Last weekend we went to a Boo at the Zoo, where there was trick or treating at the zoo. We decided to take our friend's daughter with us too. It was very fun. We are definitely getting the itch to have more kids around. =) Although 2 two year olds was quite the handful! The girls were really good and had a great time. Alahna was a monkey (if you can't tell-she didn't like the hat) and we surprised our friends at church, so we pretended Kayleigh was a zebra (black and white, it works...).



More fall fun to come with pumpkin carving, Halloween and family dinner this weekend!
