Our October

Apparently I can't update the blog but once a month, so here we go with the month of October.

We visited the fire station as a MOPS playdate.

Abby's puppy birthday party. Each of the kids got a puppy with a birth certificate (Connor named his puppy Mason), a mat and a ball. They took them to different stations - the vet station, the food station, the grooming station... their might have been more, not sure.. but it was adorable and the kids still play with their puppies! They love them!

 Connor was very serious about checking his puppy's heartbeat.

 The puppies got puppy chow to eat (a.k.a. chocolate cereal) - Connor ate a LOT once he realized it wasn't real dog food.

 They also got vitamins at the vet station (a.k.a. gummy bears) - all the kids had a lot of vitamins, too!

 I think I said in the last post that it was our last visit to the orchard, but Laura came in town, so we went one more last time! Kate loves the swing!!

 Connor and Aubrey

 Carving the pumpkin - Connor wouldn't even touch a seed and I had to tell Kate several times not to eat them...

 Love this picture.

 I can't figure out how to put this picture right side up, but here is Mason happy as could be while we were carving pumpkins!

Painting the pumpkins we got from the pumpkin patch play date with MOPS

 Playing with shaving cream.

 On Halloween he wanted pancakes, so I made pumpkin pancakes with chocolate chip smiley faces. He wanted a candle in his pancake - like it was his birthday. Made me laugh.

 Oh my gosh he is so big!!

 Connor was Handy Manny, Kate was Minnie (keep a look out for this outfit again at her birthday party!), and Mason was a pumpkin.

 Here they all are at their first house! Abby and Josh were dinosaurs and Sarah was Hello Kitty.

 Baby pumpkin passed out a few houses in.

This video cracks me up - Kate acting like Mason when he is crying. Sometimes she does it, and if I am not looking, I can't tell who it is - her or Mason!
