Halloween 2015

We had a great time trick or treating with our friends and neighbors, the Rosenhagens, again this year.  This year Ella Catherine (8) was a bubble bee, Carter (6) was a Ninja and Cassidy (2) was princess Sophia.  This was the first year that Cassidy really got into it and wanted to walk to every house and say "Trick or Treat".  So much fun watching them have so much fun.

Love these three!  Love trick or treating with them

Carter's field trip to Lucky Ladd Farms

Carter's class went on a field trip to Lucky Ladd Farm today and I was lucky enough to be able to take off work to go with them.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day!  We took a little tour of the farm where learned a lot about the animals and about how pumpkins grow.  They even told us which variety of pumpkins make the best pumpkin pies (the white pumpkins)  Then I believe the kids favorite part was the HUGE playground.  It was nice to be able to spend the morning with Carter and his friends.

Girl Scout Pumpkin decorating

Ella Catherine's girl scouts troop, troop 2916 had a meeting tonight. Their craft was painting and decorating pumpkins.  She has a very small troop.  All the girls but her decided to paint their pumpkin black.  She had her own idea and I LOVE that she is unique and doesn't follow the crowd.  

Creative juices flowing

Almost finished

The girls and their pumpkins.  Love that Ella Catherine opted to follow her own style.
