Wordless Wednesday

almost

The contractors finally started working on the auto mechanic shop that will be on the lot next to our house.  Needless to say, the kiddos were glued to the fence the majority of the day.

Yesterday was All Saints Day, so Dallas and his classmates dressed up as different saints.  Dallas went as St. Matthew.

Until next time...

Boo at the Zoo

On Sunday evening, I headed out with the kiddos to Boo at the Zoo!  Doug was already there working at the Monsanto table handing out candy.  This was the best way to get the kids from the parking lot, across the street, and into the zoo...

We finally made it to the entrance!

Once we found Daddy's table, he was able to slip away and walk around with us...We weren't able to see many animals because it was getting dark and they were inside.  We were able to see the rhino; he is housed in the main level of the nocturnal pavilion!

 A quick stop for a little bean bag toss

 She insisted on carrying the bag and walking on her own

The kiddos were very interested in the giant cockroaches...I kept my distance.

All in all, it was a great evening.

Until next time...

Happy Halloween!

Daddy's Golden Birthday!

Today Daddy turned 30 on the 30th!  His "golden" birthday, as some might say.

We celebrated by going out to eat at a fabulous local restuarant, The Log Inn.  It is the oldest restuarant in Indiana, and it has the best fried chicken!

Not sure why she was sticking that bottom lip out to Daddy, but it was kind of cute...

Can't take ones' picture without taking the others'

The kiddos were excited to give Daddy his birthday present.

 I'm surprised neither of them spoiled the surprise of what we got Daddy (a new basketball!) 

We finished off the night by trick or treating at Boo at the Zoo! (more on that in another post)

Until next time...

Pumpkin Farm - Trip II

Earlier in the week, the Mommies & Munchkins group took a field to Goebel's Pumpkin Farm.  You might remember that Doug and I took the kiddos there a few weeks ago while Daddy was on vacation.

Our friend Carla was there with her daughters.  Here's the best picture I got of the three kiddos before the adventure began!

We were able to go feed the fish at the pond.  Reba was wondering where the food went...

We then took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch.  The kiddos were able to choose any pumpkin they wanted - but they had to be able to carry it.

Dallas' first pick was a little too big

These were a bit more their size

Then, I couldn't resist with a few of the photo opts...

We also had a chance to go down the lofty high barn slide again!

Until next time...
