Fall Break

This fall break, we tried to fit in as much as we could...

Thursday: I found a $20 bill in a drawer in the stove drawer. We decided to spend it while the house was getting cleaned. The kids and I: went to lunch at Carls Jr for $10.82, went to shopko for some candy: $3.27 and to the movie (Ice Age 3) for $6.25. Total: $20.34. Luckily I had change in my purse too.

Friday: We went with the Barons and Kade's friend Dannon's family to Cornbellys. They pretty much did it all: bounce houses, haunted dinosaur, slides, corn sandbox, corn maze, cow train, creepy monsters, Hay hills, etc. It was a fun but exhausting!

Saturday: Paul left on a business trip to San Antonio, but before he left, the kids did a stuffed animal Halloween Parade. Then we went out to lunch at Cafe Rio. That night we had a movie night watching Hocus Pocus. They looked a little frightened at parts and I was afraid it was going to be a rough night (nightmares and all) but they did great.

Everynight of the break, they had a slumber party in the playroom. It was a great fall break that went entirely too fast!

Cornbellys

This year I've heard a lot about Cornbellys so we decided to take the kids. Cornbellys is at Thanksgiving point and has all kinds of things for kids to do. It was definitely worth it, so much fun!

We played in the playhouses...

 We met the Pumpkin Princess and she read us a story...

 Tried on some dress up clothes...

 Sat in the Cinderella carriage and even got to be a driver...

 I love cutouts!

 played in a room full of corn kernals (this may have been the favorite, but it was kind of gross if you ask me.)

 went on a train ride...

 Played in the tiny tot area... Jaxon adored this. It was definitely his favorite!

 Jaxon L-O-V-E-S slides and the boy has no fear when it comes to a good slide (or anything else!)

 Kade tried on fireman hats and sat in a firetruck...

It was a fantastic day!

Happy Halloween

October has been such a busy month! This last week was no exception. We went to the pumpkin patch to choose our pumpkins. The kids (minus little Jaxon) each chose their favorite. It was horribly cold, rainy and gross outside but they were troopers and had fun.

My mom made their costumes this year. Kade and Jaxon were batman and Robin, Bailey was Rapunzel ad Kylie was a Bride. Nana makes the best costumes! Aren't they adorable. This is from before our church Halloween Party.

Even Robin needs his beauty sleep.

Kade's Preschool Program. He's so different from the girls. He's always in the front of the class and so outgoing. He's a funny kid. I enjoyed watching all the silly faces he made.

Kylie and Bailey are in their school choir and are really enjoying it. Some weeks I have to "encourage" them to go to practice but all in all they love it. They had thier first performance.

After

Halloween night... we always go to the church for a "Trunk or Treat" then over to the Baron's (our friends and neighbors) for chilli and then trick or treating.

All the kids...

Batman and Robin

A bride and Rapunzel

Luckily it was pretty warm so the kids didn't need coats the whole time.  Living in Utah, we're always grateful when its not freezing and/or snowing on Halloween. We had a great time hanging out and having fun.
