Halloween Already!












 Todd got stuck in his camp chair. It was sad, but cute.

 Claire loved playing with shaving cream, while Todd surprisingly didn't like it very much.
 He enjoyed our pumpkin cookies instead.



 We mixed yellow and blue food dye with shaving cream to make green.

October thus far

We've been keeping busy with the usual callings, school, piano and nannying. But, we have definitely noticed a change in the air and are embracing fall time.
 Todd saw Claire using a pen in the Friend magazine to find hidden pictures, so he got comfy on his back and decided to mark up the magazine as well.
 This is a fall outfit I bought for Todd. He is so tall! especially with his curly hair, which I love!
 Claire loves her baby doll and tucks it in almost every night.

 simple joys
 These pictures sum up what it's like shopping with these two. It's fun but exhausting. I'm going to try to go solo on Saturdays now that I'm getting further along in my pregnancy.


 Fun with Daddy on conference weekend.

 All ready to go to the stake center for the broadcast of conference.
 cute little church shoes!
 Trains are one of Todd's favorite toys.
 Painting haunted houses to decorate the house with.
 Claire said that she drew this Ken doll for me. She's really been into Barbies lately. I think the little hat and little cheeks are cute details.
 Look at that smile
 We literally like to stop and smell the roses. This little rose bush has brought me a lot of joy.
 Anticipation! We took a family trip to the Orr Family Farm (which wasn't a real farm) and we loved it!
 First carousel ride. She picked a horse to ride that had flowers on it and Todd and Daddy waved at us.
 Train ride around the farm; something we all enjoyed.


 Corn crib.
 Skyler's favorite part; pedal cars. Look at the joy on their faces. Claire was laughing the whole time.


 Then she hopped on one and went around twice by herself!
 climbing hay bails


 We didn't do these, but it was a great way for kids to get their energy out!
 The "pumpkin patch" By this point we were so tired that it was nice to have them quickly choose little pumpkins to carry back to the car. We've enjoyed having them around the house.


 Hay bail bear

 Claire had to touch the minion hay bail
 Out. Claire is playing with a curl sticking up.
 Todd likes to turn the chairs around and sit on them like this while he's eating.
