Trick or Treating

We had lots of fun and got lots of candy last night. We went with a couple friends and their kiddos around our neighborhood and it was actual a pretty nice night for it. We discovered that Levi loves candy, he really has not been given a lot of candy before but now he begs for it. He caught on real quick to what this whole trick or treating thing is about!

Carving Pumpkins

We carved our pumpkins a few weeks ago, after we went to Post's, I just have not posted about them, so here they are.My boys pumkins- I did not make one. I end up carving all theirs anyway. Riley choose a flaming skull, Carter a ghost, Levi has the John Deere logo and John being a truck driver choose the KW (Kenworth) truck logo. Uncle Mike drew the stuff on the pumpkins, except Johns, and the ladies carved them. The kids did help with gutting the pumpkins I just did not have the camera to take a pic at the time.

Post Family Farm

This past Saturday our family and John's sister and family went to our annual trip to Post Family Farm. They have a lot of great activites that the kids enjoy and my favorite parts is the pumpkin doughnuts. I think they did all about they had to offer there. They had a pony ride, rode the pumpkin train and the new pedal cars. Played in the straw and rode the zip line. Got their faces painted and rode the wagon back to the pumpkin patch to pick out their pumpkins. It was another beautiful day and we had a great time. Afterwards we headed to our house to carve our pumpkins. I will post pictures about that soon, so stay tuned.

YUMMY DOUGHNUTS!!!!

Field Trip

Last week I went with Carter's preschool class for a field trip to Nyboers Pumpkin patch. It was a gorgeous fall day and we had lots of fun exploring. We got to take home some pumpkins, gourds and indian corn.

Pumpkinfest Parade

This past weekend Zeeland had the Pumkinfest. We had gone on Thursday night and had the free dinner, the kids played some games, painted a pumpkin and did the pedal pulls. ( I don't have any pics of that I forgot my camera) Then on Saturday Carter had to be in the parade with his preschool class, so we headed out to that in the afternoon.

Sitting next to one of his friends, waiting to go. He did not want to get on the float. He was crying and everything. After 10 minutes of trying all sorts of things I ended up having to bribe him with ice cream afterwards. Then he was all smiles and waving as he passed us.

waiting for the parade to start. My neice, Sophia and Riley and Levi. Riley was also busy climbing a tree nearby.

watching the parade and getting candy. I also thought it was so cute that Levi was clapping. He loved the parade!
