Trunk or Treat

Claire's preschool always has a trunk or treat event.  It is something that the girls look forward to each year.  It worked out that Emmerson didn't have school due to conferences and was able to come with us. 

A very excited bumblebee.

Claire and her friends waiting for their turn to go outside.

Emmerson was a big helper.  She passed out all the candy.

Audrey had to hold her hood out of the way to watch the action. 

Claire was excited to see us waiting outside for her.

Poor third baby...sitting on the cold cement playing with chocolate! 

Fall Break

Emmerson and Claire had a couple days off for fall break this week.  We took advantage of every minute of it!

The weather was perfect!  We spent some time at the IMA just running around.

Then we went into the Star Studio with Anna and Owen,

The girls loved all the crafts.

Best buddies!

Then we headed over to 100 acres to play for a couple hours!

These two are so funny together.

Before Emmerson started kindergarten we would go to an open gym on Friday mornings.  The girls loved it!  We hadn't been since last spring.  So they were very excited when we realized we could go during break.  

The bars are always a favorite. 

This is the first time Audrey got in on the fun!  She was all over the place...making me VERY outnumbered! 

Emmerson is getting very brave. 

I was amazed at what this one was capable of!

We also went to a pumpkin craving party at 100 acres.  The girls were excited to carve their pumpkins. 

Making a plan.

An excited little carver. 

Daddy is a good assistant. 

Emmerson went with a traditional face. 

Claire went with a cat face.

And a little extra.

Finished product.

Happy girls!

Fun family times!

This one talked us into a few more minutes at 100 acres. 

Our First Haunted House

We went to the Children's Museums haunted house for the first time.  We went during the lights on hours.  We were actually surprised by how much the girls liked it.  

The trick or treating was the best part of course!

We met Marin and Quinn there.

Zoo Boo

We made our annual trip to Zoo Boo.  We got very lucky with the weather this year.  

As we walked in we saw Elsa....the girls squealed with delight!  They were screaming, "It's the REAL Elsa!"

The girls are pros at trick or treating!

There was just a little animal watching.  

Our sweet pumpkins

Minnie Mouse was there too.

We played a few pumpkin games on our way out of the zoo.

Another successful year!

The Hursh Clan was with us, which is always fun and a little crazy!

We braved dinner out with all 6 tired kids (5 or under).  Audrey was apparently too tired to hold on to her food!
