More and more fall...

Last Thursday we had Fall Fest at their preschool.  They teachers put on an awesome festival and the girls had a great time.  Lillian spent most of the time chasing after Adeline and her friends.  She stopped once to wrap herself in "bebe" the blanket.

Face painting...

Hayrides...

Funny pictures...

Hoot the owl...

and a bunch of fun in the bounce house!

The girls and I walked to school one day last week, Lillian did not want to dress for the day so I did not  bother changing her out of her pjs.  On our way home we stopped by the chicken lady's house.  Here is Lillian checking out the birds!

Can you tell what Adeline's favorite color is?  I took this picture because she was a purple blur. Head to toe purple!

The pumpkin carving is a two night process.  Here Adeline has drawn her pumpkin faces on the pumpkins and actually helped me gut them. She washed her hands three times during the whole process.

Here is the cowgirl/ballerina.   They were allowed to wear their costumes to dance class this week.  She decided NOT to take the horse to class which was a very wise decision.

Punkin' Pickin'

Monday was a big day!  It started with a field trip to the pumpkin patch this week.  Adeline's class headed to Belinda's pumpkin farm 30 miles east of Raleigh.  I offered to drive and Adeline was thrilled that she had friends riding in her car

A hayride took us through the farm...

To the pumpkin patch where they were able to get out and PICK pumpkins...

they could pick as many as they wanted...

then they ran off and left me with 10 pumpkins to roll back to the hayride.

Monday night we had a birthday dinner to celebrate Nonni, Jennifer and Brook's birthdays.

 

I had tried to get Lillian to eat all night and she would have none of it.  10 minutes before we left I was walking past the pizza box and Lillian let me know she wanted a piece.  And that was how she ate it.  Whole.

This is just a sweet picture of the 2 of them.  I rarely get all four eyes on the camera and smiles too!

We cleaned out the shed and found the wagon which meant we took a wagon ride around the block.  Adeline pulled most of the way!

This is what they love to do together...play with jewelry.  

                     

All about Fall

Adeline has recently been "reading" an Amelia Bedelia book about apple pies.  I thought it would be fun to make our own apple pie from scratch!  We made the dough then put the ingredients together the next day.  Adeline was a natural in the kitchen, a little Betty Crocker!

Adeline was obviously very excited about the pie...

add a little ice cream...

Adeline asked for seconds "more ice cream please, just ice cream, no more pie." Turns out that no one in my family likes apple pie.  But they really like ice cream!

Adeline had a campout with Luke last week.  Here she is before she hit the trail.

The next day we went to the Farmer's Market and picked out a few pumpkins.  Can you guess which one is Hattie's?

Ready for school!  I took this because Lillian is wearing Adeline's old coat.  It is still a little big on her but keeps her warm!

A fall fest full of fun.  Lillian was terrified by the giant scarecrow.  Adeline was curious, wanted her picture  taken with him, just not near him.

We went to the pumpkin patch today, will post those pictures tomorrow!

All Smiles...and teeth

Lillian got her first fat lip from a run-in with a baby doll stroller and a stool.  I tried to get a picture of it and she, as usual, was all smiles and posing for the camera.

Adeline was measured for her flower girl dress that she will wear in Jackie's wedding in January.  I thought they would be impressed by the white dresses but they barely paid attention to them, all they wanted to do was play on the stools.

Teeny sent wax vampire lips.  Need I say more?

Adeline the Fire Fighter

Adeline's class took a trip to the fire house this week.  She has talked about it ever since!  These are the pictures that her teachers sent out.  It looked like they had a great time!

Then they topped off the day with a trip to Krispy Kreme!
