October Fun

October has flown by and we have been enjoying all the fun things you do during this spooky season. Kennedy and Xander love Halloween and couldn't wait to carve pumpkins this year.

They both were grossed out by the goopy inside. :)

Getting the hang of it.

I love this boys smile!
Derek enjoying it more than the kids

(where is her mother?)

Finished products!!!
We actually got 5 pumpkins, but only two have been carved. It is a lot of work!!!

We have also been playing with friends. We are trying to enjoy the weather before it is gone. :(




Of course we couldn't have Halloween without making sugar cookies. YUM! A bunch of the moms and little kids got together at a friends house and decorated cookies. My kids were high on sugar for days. :)





We have also been enjoying all the beautiful leaves. The kids and I drive around some days trying to find beautiful trees to look at. I love doing this, and Kennedy does too! Here are some pictures of leaves we found on the way home from church.






We still have a few days left in the month and have more fun activities planned. It has been a busy and fun month for us here in Maine!

Awesome pumpkins! Did you guys come up with the design on your own, or was it some type of template?

Absolutely gorgeous colors! There are not very big trees out here, so I am missing the fall colors. Good news is we don't have to rake anything up. Cute pictures of your kids!
