Posing

Not really sure what got into these two children who will never sit still and especially not together.  They were outside playing and all of a sudden they went over to this section of the fence and sat down.  Of course, the camera was retrieved very quickly to take pictures of this fleeting moment. 

Don't they look happy!

Pumpkin Picking Time

We took our annual pumpkin picking trip.  We have found a farm that has just enough to keep the kids entertained but not too much.  This year we were really lucky to have Aunt Cynthia join us for the fun. 

Showing off our bounty.  There were so many to pick from we had a hard time choosing the best pumpkin.

Leaves

One of the best parts of Fall is having leaves to jump in!

Halloween Houses

Someone gave us these kits to make Halloween houses, so of course, we jumped right in and made a nice mess.  More important than that, we had fun doing it.

The proud decorators with their houses

 

We had left over icing, so to work off some sugar and to be good givers, we made cookies and took them to share with Aunt Dot and Grandma Reid.

The kids had lots of fun but the houses are still sitting on the table because they were a little to hard to get our teeth around.

Halloween...

AKA Tour of Hendersonville

Mermaid Princess and Batman waiting to begin their tour of all the hottest spots in town.

Our first stop, right around the corner, at Aunt Dot's house.  Batman had to be the leader of this stop...

 

Trick or treat!!!

 

Aunt Dot

 

 Can't forget Grandma Reid

 

Next stop Aunt Mandi and Uncle Jeremy's house.  Notice Batman waiting for the sneak attack.

 

 After Aunt Mandi's it was off to Grandma Duncan's, where the kids were treated to their pick of goodies from the orange bucket.

 

 Grammy's was the next stop on our tour.

 

 By the time Batman and Mermaid Princess made it to Grammy's it was time for a break.  Lucky for us Grammy came through with cupcakes and juice. 

 

 Next stop, Papa Ted's for a great family shot and more candy

 

Last stop, Grandma Morgan's, Aunt Cynthia and Richard's house...Batman is waiting for the sneak attack in the bushes.

 Papaw and GramT

 

 then add Grandma Morgan

 

and last but definately not least Richard and Aunt Cynthia.

As you can see it was a long day, but Batman and Mermaid Princess hung in there for a wonderful day.  It could also have been the large amount of sugar they took it, but whatever it was fun and well worth all the excitement.
