October is HERE!

 We LOVE October at our house...pumpkins, Annie's birthday, Fall Festival, cooler weather, and HALLOWEEN!  The kids were off from school today, so I took them to Jason's for a couple of hours of work, then to the pumpkin patch and back home to start decorating our pumpkin for the Fall Festival on Friday.  Jacob was "so over" all those pumpkin pictures, it was great to have Jason's camera to take a few pics of each kid and then on to the task at hand....selecting the perfect pumpkins.  It did bring back memories of bringing kids to the pumpkin patch as babies, as I saw a mom taking about 200 pictures trying to prop her baby up against a pumpkin and making all kinds of noises to get them to smile. Love my handsome boy!

 Sweet Gwyn:

 Annie the Magnificent!

 Gwyn and two of her sweet friends:

 We are in full soccer season, with both Gwyn and Annie playing on Saturdays.  Gwyn has scored 6 goals in 3 games, she added a victory dance this past game of a cart wheel after each goal.

 This one is a little soccer star, a maniac on the field!

 Jacob played in a tournament last weekend, the fields were a full 45 minutes to get to, but they were so nice, turf!

 Annie enjoying (not really, she was complaining) watching Jacob!

 The day has ARRIVED!!! Jacob and Gwyn doing dishes after dinner!!

 Another huge feat for this one this week, tying her shoes

 I love to find these gems on my phone!

 The two crazies in the pool when Rick and Sue visited last weekend...Gwyn was the smart one who didn't brave getting soaked:

 School pictures turned out great!

Funny things Annie said this week:

Me to Annie:  You're such a good girl.
Annie to Me:  You're such a good adult.
Annie when she wore a Disney shirt to school for dress as your future profession:  I'm the boss of him (to her teacher talking about another kid who said he wanted to work at Disney World)
Me to Annie:  You've got the cutest little face I've  ever seen.
Annie:  Cuter than Gwyn's?
Me to Annie:  The cutest little sister face, Gwyn has the cutest big sister face.
