Carving Time!

We left Pumpkin carving to the last minute this year (the night before Halloween) and since we only got 2 pumpkins instead of 4 we only carved one of them this year. It was just easier that way because the kids really needed to get to bed. I was shocked that Riley and Lincoln both stuck their arms in and pulled out the guts. AND they didn't mind either. Riley said "it's yucky" at first, but then kept going, so I wasn't going to stop her. Lincoln enjoyed stirring the guts more than pulling them out though...can't say I blame him!

Everytime I tell Lincoln to smile he screams instead, this time Riley followed suit.

Here it is again "Ahhh...this is the good life"...Riley's signature saying right now.

Gull Meadow Farms

This past week, Ty had a couple of days off so we took advantage of it! On Wednesday afternoon we took the kids to Gull Meadow Farms to pick out pumpkins, drink apple cider, and pick apples. We had such a great time. They've got a huge farm and when we first got there we went straight for the homemade donuts (SO GOOD) and apple cider.

They've got a great area for the kids to run around in and "pumpkin" scenes, (For instance, they had a manger scene and all the people had pumpkin heads) a huge slide for the kids, which Riley would have nothing to do with, and so much more. We skipped out on the hay ride because I am deathly allergic to hay (well, not deathly, but my eyes will swell shut :)!!). Riley picked out her very own pumpkin and since Lincoln slept the whole time, except for 5 minutes we were there, so she picked out one for him too! Here are some great pictures of our "pumpkin picking":

Riley just had to have a HUGE pumpkin :)!

Her first sip of apple cider and she LOVED it!

Daddy teaching Riley the way of a true Superman fanatic!

Truly the apple of our eye...

He's awake!! AND warm in his stroller, it was a chilly, chilly day!
