Fall Festivals

Today was our Fall Festival at Concord UMC and the Pumpkin Palooza at Maple Springs UMC. It was a gorgeous day for everything and the kids had so much fun. They looked so cute in their costumes; Elsa and the Minions were a big hit with everyone!

Ready to get started!

Making crafts

The boys were a little overwhelmed at first and not sure what to think about the firetruck. . . 

Lucy liked it though :)

Going fishin'!

The rules of the bean bag toss game got a little lost on the boys . . .

This picture cracks me up . . . 

Harper came and joined in with the fun

Alex enjoyed the cupcakes

Charlie, Lucy and Harper back on the firetruck

Once Alex got comfortable with everything, he couldn't stay away from the firetruck! :)

After a while, the boys got tired of actually trying to catch the fish, so they just used their rods to splash water everywhere!

Decorating treat bags

Charlie sat down at the pumpkin ringtoss game and he just looked so cute

So we had Lucy sit there too!

We tried to get all three kids to sit by themselves, but that wasn't going to happen, but we managed to get a whole family shot. I thought it turned out pretty well!

We tried to turn around the other way so we wouldn't have a shadow on us, but the boys were done . . . 

On the way back to the car, the boys grabbed hands . . .so precious!!

We had lunch and a nap and then it was off to our next festival!

Alex tried to pick up every pumpkin he found

There was a trunk decorated like the Frozen castle! :)

The boys had a big time getting candy to put in their buckets . . . Daddy was excited about all the candy he would get to eat. :)

After the trunk or treating, we went to play games. The boys loved this bean bag toss.

Lucy liked shooting the ping pong balls with the water gun

   We played a few more games and then it was time to go. We had to go back to Concord for the barbeque dinner fundraiser. We had such a fun day, so hopefully everyone will sleep well tonight! :)

Fall fun

We've had some beautiful weather here lately. Here are some sweet photos of my babies, playing in the leaves. :)

Life at our house

Around here, we've settled into somewhat of a routine. Lucy is really enjoying school and has started taking a ballet/tap class. The boys are going to toddler reading time at the library on Wednesdays and have a Kindermusik class on Fridays. Its been good for them to get out and interact with some other kids their age. We've tried to take advantage of the nice weather lately to get out and play in the yard as much as possible. Grammy and Poppa found a little playset for the kids and they've had a great time with it.

I snapped this picture the other day. The boys were wearing their matching Minions shirts (Minions are a bit of an obsession for them right now.) and had kicked off their pants. (Another obsession of theirs right now.) They were laying their on a blanket, drawing on their magna doodles and talking to each other. It was just so sweet! It was one of those moments when you realize just how special it is to be a twin and I am so thankful for my two sweet boys and that they have each other. 

We got a special cupcake treat after school today. Lucy chose a cookies and cream cupcake and the boys got vegan chocolate ones. Lucy has mastered eating a cupcake without making a mess . . . the boys have a long way to go though! ;)
