Fall Fun Favorites

Some of the things that have become favorites for our family

at this time of year, and tradition I guess:

#1 making candy apples

(some to enjoy and some to give away)

#2 taking a hayride to pick pumpkins

these kids were serious searchers for

that PERFECT pumpkin

waiting for the haytruck to come back and get us

we had actually attempted to do this

last weekend, but the line was TOOO long

so we just bought some pumpkins.

We drove by the place after Kaipo's soccer

game and found good luck and NO line.
SO this time was all about the hayride

and the FREE pumpkin you get to pick!

#3 pumpkin decorating

for this mom-painting pumpkins is WAY

easier, plus the kids can actually do it.
I leave the carving up to dad, if

he chooses to attempt it.

Kaipo's is a vampire and Ame's is a witch.
Ame did hers all on her own, but Kaipo

WANTED help. He has become quite the little

artist, but also gets very frustrated when

things aren't just right. So mom helped a bit.

We even glued on vampire teeth, although you

can't really tell and it doesn't look much

like an actual vampire-HE was happy with it!

we did this while Ash was taking a nap,

much easier with the older two!

with all these activities, I don't know how I

haven't gone into labor yet????
