More fall fun!

We spent most of our fall weekends visiting pumpkin farms.  I'm doing my best to make sure our boys love this season as much as I do :)

One of Max's favorite activities at pumpkin farms is haybale mazes (thankfully he has his dad's sense of direction!)...



Finn's just happy watching everything...


And all of the boys had fun in the barrel-car ride :)



One of Max's other favorite activities... throwing hay


And again, Finn's content just hanging out :)




And everyone had fun picking out their pumpkins...

Trick or Treat!

I seriously think Halloween is my favorite holiday.  I always loved dressing up as a kid (and an adult :)  and now it is a million times better with kids.  We had so much fun on Halloween this year, and since it was on a Monday, we had an extended weekend of Halloween fun :)
Max was finally old enough to choose his own costume this year, so in September I started asking him what he wanted to be, so that we would be prepared and not scrambling to find a costume at the last minute.  Max's answer, every time I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween, was "green."  When asked what thing he would like to be that was green, he'd just answer "green."  Sounds easy, but after looking at every Halloween costume store and catalog, the only green costume we found was a character from Yo Gabba Gabba (which we've never seen).  So, after much searching online, we finally found...

A dinosaur!


And after finding the most adorable baby costume ever, it was decided that Finn was a spider :)



The first Trick-or-Treating we did was on Saturday at the zoo...





And then on Monday, we went trick-or-treating at the Children's Museum in the afternoon...




And in our neighborhood at night...


Throw in a party at Max's school on Monday and a neighbor's party on Sunday, and it was a non-stop, fun-filled Halloween weekend!
