Halloween Festivals and Pumpkin Patches!

 Hank's class took a trip to Berry Patch Farms for some pumpkin fun.  Here we are on our way to all the pumpkins!
 We found the pumpkins and a few scarecrows too!
 Hank got a little destructive while we were there...just kidding!
 So many to choose from...
 We found a good one to make our yellow Angry Bird pumpkin decoration
 And we had fun driving an old tractor!
 On to our community festival...Mimi decided to be Cinderella for this one and her friend Natalie was a bumblebee!
 Hank went as a Stormtrooper and then it was time to trick-or treat at the festival...more candy...just what we need!
 Then, on to Area 51 for some mini golf trick-or-treating!  We got to play and get even MORE candy!  and we met a few friends along the way :)
This was our favorite!  The Brunswick bowling pin and he gave us vouchers for a free bowl...we LOVE to bowl!

Lots of Halloween fun and it is not even Halloween yet!

Halloween Dress Rehearsals

 We have had a couple early dress rehearsals for Halloween.  Hank and I both get to try out several of our costumes.  First, I tried Cinderella...
 Then, we got to go to a party at the Disney Store in the mall.  Hank was Lightning McQueen and I was Belle :)
 Hank was the leader for the costume parade!
 I hung at the back of the line with Mommy.  We did a craft and a little trick or treating.  It was a fun event at the Disney Store!
 Today, we got to go to the Food Allergy kids of Atlanta Halloween Party.  Hank was Mario and I was Doc McStuffins.  We got to do a couple of crafts here, visit with fireman on a firetruck, participate in a costume contest
and play a games that they had set-up.  This was another great pre-Halloween costume event!  Next weekend is the mini golf trick or treating...we can't wait!

Busy!

School keeps us pretty busy during the week and then we really pack in our weekends to have some fun!  Here is just a little bit of what we have been doing!
 This is what happens when Mom gets out the goggly eye decorations...
 Every Friday, the neighborhood walkers get together after we walk back to our neighborhood for a snack and a chat.  Hank and Eric seem to really be chatting it up over a popsicle :)
 This Friday was a special one.  We celebrated National Walk to School Day a little early so we could have some extra fun.  The Mayor joined us on our walk back to the neighborhood. (Eric and Hank are in the back row...you can barely see their heads)
 Hank loved the Mayor's car!
 And this is what happens when you fall on the playground and Mom gets a call from the school :)
 Mommy forgot that we brought some great hand-me-downs back from our trip to MN this summer. But Mimi found the tub and dug for some pretty special stuff...thanks Eva!
 Mom co-chaired the Fall Picnic at Sweet Apple this year so Dad and I decided to relax and enjoy ourselves at the event!
 Nad Mimi sought out the tooth fairy at the picnic and got a picture with her and the tooth fairy's book!
 Alright, well, we were supposed to head to FL this weekend to spend time with Aunt Liz and Uncle Ben (since Daddy was in NY for his college alumni weekend) except Hank came home Thursday with a 102.7 fever.  So thru Friday he had the flu...so we could not go to FL.  So he was feeling a little better Saturday and we were a little stir crazy so we went to the Roswell Youth Parade.
 They LOVED the marching bands
 Here is the front of the Sweet Apple Float made by the 5th graders
 and the rest of the float..
 We headed to a happy lunch at McDonald's after the parade
 And then home to check out our loot from the parade
 More fun at the park later
 and a sassy park pose from Mary Frances :)

And an appropriate end to the weekend.  Doc McMimi was checking Hank out to make sure he has recovered from his flu (as she says take a deep breath)
