Happy Birthday, Autumn Baby! :)

Ready to celebrate!!

Cutie smilers!

This little pirate liked her lunch!  :)

My favorite was the dessert course!!

Our buddy Autumn Baby turned 3 and celebrated with a My Little Pony party!  Danni and I spent most of the time jumping and playing in the bouncer!!  We especially loved the delicious desserts!  We both went back for seconds!!!  Happy Birthday, Autumn!!

Happy Halloween!

Hard at work on my Halloween craft at school!

Ready to hit the neighborhood!!

The music at the Trunk or Treat was REALLY loud...

Tristan and me!

7Baby and Danni were ready for candy!

Trunk-or-treating!

I found my fairy friend Noelle!!

I love our spooky family!  :)

Happy Halloween!!!  It was a day full of all kinds of fun activities!!!  My teacher's birthday was on Halloween, so my class celebrated with a party ... complete with treats and a Halloween craft!  After school, we headed to the local trunk-or-treat and nearly filled our buckets with candy after one lap around the cars!  It was awesome!  After that, we trick-or-treated at a few houses in our neighborhood!!  Sugar high, here we come!!!

Parade in Preschool!

Mr. Sonny arrived to get the parade started!

Parading through the school....

Sassy fairy!

Danni's preschool celebrated Halloween with a costume parade!!  She dressed up as a pink fairy and had fun marching through the school in her costume.  Her only complaint was that her wings did not work!!

Danni's Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Danni and Daddy took a hay ride around the pumpkin patch!

Feeding the goats!

She was happy that the sun came out!

Danni's preschool class!

Sunshine, sunflowers, and my two favorite girls!

Danni is growing up!!  She got to go on her very first field trip!  Her preschool class visited a pumpkin patch right before Halloween!  They got to go on a hay ride, visit the petting zoo, learn about farm animals, pick their own pumpkins, and they got to play on the bouncers!  Danni, Mommy, and Daddy had a great time.  I didn't get to go... there was a lot of work to be done in first grade!

Pumpkin Festival at Irvine Great Park!

Posing with a scarecrow friend!

It was a windy day, so the pumpkin balloon was grounded...

Every kid had their pick of FREE pumpkins!

Danni and I took awhile to make our selections!

I kept reminding her that mine was bigger!

Pumpkin poser!

We visited the pumpkin decorating station next...

Our masterpieces!!

We celebrated Mommy's birthday with a bunch of fun Halloween activities!  We visited the Irvine Great Park for their annual Pumpkin Festival.  It was a super cool event with rides, games, trick-or-treating, and a free pumpkin patch for kids!!  We had a fantastic time getting into the Halloween spirit!!  :)

Halloween Paraders!

Ready to parade with Mama Vee!

Master of Destruction!

Marching in the parade!

It wasn't my idea of fun....

I perked up back in the classroom where I found some Halloween treats!

Danni and I love to visit Mama Vee's school ... especially on special party days!  We joined Mama Vee's class for their annual Halloween parade!  It was fun to meet her kids and to have some Halloween goodies afterward.  I didn't really care for the parade part, though ... my hard hat kept falling off and it was a cold morning.  Thankfully, the parade route was short!  ;)

Tricks and Treats and Disneyland!

Greetings from Tarzan's Tree House!

Could we be any less enthusiastic?!  ;)

Cherries for Danni and a Ghiradelli cookie sundae for me! Yum!

Danicing with the Fireside Girls!

She was actually in sync!

Jumpin' Jelly Fishers!

Halloween time at Disneyland is SO much fun!!!  We visited and enjoyed all of the spooky decorations and rides.  (We didn't enjoy the Haunted Mansion... it is STILL too scary ... even with the Christmas decorations up!!)

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We tried our first corn maze!  It was a hit!

Danni was a little scared, so she stuck close to me!

We found all 10 punch stations in the maze!!  

Corny kiddos!

I wanted this pumpkin.. until I learned that it would cut into my allowance!

We got to hold baby chicks!

I wanted to spend my allowance on a couple...  that idea didn't fly...

Cuddling!

Kissing!

Finding the perfect pumpkin!

She picked this one!

I liked the giant one!

Mischievous Beast!

Silly little punkin!

Pumpkin smilers :)

She said that her pumpkin needed some friends... :)

We love Halloween time!!!  Especially our visits to the pumpkin patch!!  This year, our local patch had a corn maze ... Danni and I had never done one before, so we were excited to try it!  We did pretty well...  mainly because of Daddy's and my navigational skills!  Our mission was to find ten different stations in the maze (each with a different shaped hole puncher) and punch our maze card.  We did it!  And, with very little back tracking!  It was super fun!  Afterward, we cuddled with some baby chicks and searched through the pumpkin patch to find our prized pumpkins!  It was a great afternoon!!  :)
