October Part 1

I can’t believe another month just slip by. I was sure that we still had 2 weeks left in the month when I realized that Halloween was actually in 2 days…crazy! Here is my recap of our month

October 13th

Joshua had his first field trip to Black Island Farms with his joy school. He was so excited to go do something with his friends. Here is the little bunch that I get to tech every 12 weeks.

Julia got to come along. This is one of those treats she gets for helping me when I have to teach.

Our fun started at 9:00. A.M  We invited keldrie to come along with us since we were getting really good prices and they could actually make it to my house that early The kids loved having her cousin around

We went on the hay rides tried all the slides about a million times and we even saw a pig race, not to mention the photo session that I took of the kids.


There were cargo nets to climb onto the slides, well if you look at this picture no net was stopping Andrew from a slide. He loves slides.

At the end I ventured to take pictures of all 4 kids together. I got 1 out of 3 to look at my camera, pathetic, oh well.

Like I said the kids also endure a photo shoot session with their mom, here are the results.










October 22 nd

Julia had her very last game of the season. She scored 1 goal and played so hard for 1 hour straight. It helped that grandma and grandpa were there to cheer her up.


October 27th
Josh had his Halloween party. Here he is starring as Luke Sky Walker. And here he is with his mean face, he really wanted to be part of the bad guys so he said to me: “take a picture of me with my mean face mommy”. After 2 pictures he broke up on laughter, giving up his bad guy aspirations
 

Here is the rest of his class on that day. Cute bunch!

We played some games, read stories and made some crafts

That night we made it to the Syracuse pumpkin walk with some friends. I like this tradition; we have done it every year since we moved into Syracuse. The best part about it is that it is free.

I got a hundred pictures of the kids next to their favorite carved pumpkins but for sanity reasons (mine) I am just going to post a couple of them. Julia’s favorite were Cinderella, snow white, sleeping beauty, Tiana, Jessy and some witches she found along the way. Josh’s favorites were: lightning McQueen, Meter, scary face pumpkins. The ultimate favorite of the boys was a train track display. The trains had a pumpkin on top of their engine and just went around on a 6 foot tall mountain. We could of watch those trains all night except our hands were becoming num with cold and our noses were about to freeze.

At the end of our tour we stopped to watch a movie from a screen they had placed in the park and warm ourselves by the fire.

Such a fun time. Keldrie loved going to the black island farms too. Josh looked so great in his costume. Can't wait for part 2!
