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)

Fall is here...

Thanks Daddy for teaching how to do this...

Chocolate brownie batter mustache and a grumpy face :(

 So Mimi has never been to Dunkin Donuts...since Hank can't have them we don't go there.  She got her first taste the other day and she chose, of course, the pink frosted with sprinkles :)

Unwinding with the Ipad after a long week at school

Fun stuff!

We have been working on Mimi's letters.  What better way than to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, right?  So one night during dinner, Mimi decides she needs to go to the restroom.  And she decides to sing - with the door open- while she was in there.  So we got a full serenade of the Chicka Chicka song while the rest of us ate.  Funny video...

 Well, foot ball season is here but her cheerleader outfit does not fit so well anymore - so we needed a skirt under it :)

 Knight/Captain America Mimi!

 We got to go eat lunch with Hank at school!  We sat on the stage in the cafeteria and got wave at ALL his friends as they walked by!

 All dressed up to go to work with Daddy since Mommy had a meeting to go to.

 Funday at Area 51!  Free games and bounce houses and food!

 And characters dressed up.  Hank requested the picture with Wonder Woman :)

And the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs truck...Mimi and Hank are running with the rest of the gang!

School Days and Weekend Stuff

 Grandparents/Friends Day at school.  Since we don't have grandparents nearby...Daddy went as the friend for the morning activities!

 Princess Merida striking a pose

 Pool is still open and it has been HOT!  Glad we can still swim on the weekends!

 Hank LOVES taking pics by himself now....of himself...

 Touch a Truck Day with Jeff and Bryson!

 Gotta get Hank cleaned off...

 Hank and the GA State University Mascot

 Hank the truck driver...

 Mimi waiting for Hank to get out of school on a rainy day.  She loves changing the stations and pushing any buttons she can!

 Very busy in her kitchen.  She LOVES the Food Network and The Chew!

Naptime-needs her privacy :)

Hank's case of the giggles...

Just a little video that I hope makes you smile or even laugh as much as it makes us!
