Fall Festivities

No time to blog all the details (sadly!) but here are some photo highlights of our fall.  Between trying to sell the house we are living in, renovating the house we are moving into, fall parties, Halloween, soccer, Jason's monthly "shutdown" at the plant, and taking care of our normal family duties, we have not had many nights at home.  I am praying this will change soon.  I am worn out and the girls are, too. But man do I love fall!

Preschool Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Mom made their shirts, found their jeans on Zulily

Scarlett would only pose with Nana.

What you can't see is that she smelled like vomit because she threw up all over herself in the car on the way there.  Bless her heart!  Not sick, just got choked apparently.

The next photos are the "many faces of Scarlett"

At least one of my girls will pose with me!

She LOVED the hayride - look how good she was being!

This is what I get when I say "let me take your picture" - she says "CHEESE" but doesn't smile.

When I said, "put your arm around her neck" hahaha

Clearly something was more important than a photo with Mommy.

Wurth Farms
Because Jason didn't get to go to the field trip, we went back to Wurth Farms on a Saturday to do the inflatables and hear the live music.

Look at Lilli holding her hand! 

It should be noted she was "scared" of the little jump house for kids her size.  I think she just wanted to do the big one!

This is Zyla, Lilli's American Girl Doll that went everywhere with us for a few days.

Pooped!

Halloween
My little "cowboy and Indian"

My little Pocahontas at her preschool party.

Best game ever=boxes taped together.

Sweet Jessie at her preschool party.  She was so quiet!  Her teachers say that is how she is at school but I don't believe them!

THIS is more like it.  Nana is holding Connor (my best friend's son) and Scarlett is letting her know she is NOT in a sharing mood.

I would bet money she is screaming "My turn, Nana! No hold Connor!"

Luckily they started dancing and she was happy again.

Lilli crashed the 2 year old party when hers was over. 

We love her teacher, Mrs. Joni!

Later we went Trick or Treating at the Assisted Living facility where Jason's Granny lives.  Nana, I swear the shirt was tucked in at one point.

She is addicted to candy.  And will throw her worst fits when you don't give it to her.  Post-Halloween is fun at our house....NOT

Jason and I went as the Turtle Man and a snapping turtle to our annual costume party.  If you don't know who that is, google it.  He nailed it (thanks to my awesome tattooing skills and raisins in the teeth)

Fall U-6 Soccer
This was Lilli's 3rd season to play soccer but she moved up this year to U-6.  Jason coached again and he loves it. She has such a good time but isn't aggressive enough to ever catch up to the ball.  She doesn't cry (like she did her first year) so we called it a successful season.

I can't get this to turn, but it is Lilli's soccer team picture. Love the sass.

Watching cold soccer games from the car. She really wants to play "soccer ball" with Lilli!

Shopping.  She loves it.

Mad face.

Birthday party for their cousin. Scarlett loved the python.

Pattis for Scarlett's birthday

Meanwhile, we have adopted 6 cats this fall.  The first set of 3 didn't make it 48 hours.  Long story!  But these three are still kicking it at the farm.  Babies and their momma.  Hoping they turn into good mousers.

Their names are Vampire (first to get teeth in litter) and Wednesday (for Wednesday Adams)  They live in our building currently.  Vampire loves people, Wednesday is skittish.

This is Twinkle. She looks scared here (who wouldn't!) but she is a gentle, sweet girl.  She is now roaming the farm, terrified of Bo but sticking around.

Well I think that is all I have saved on my laptop and cell phone from this fall!  When uploading pictures I found these two:

Crazy how they are growing up!
