School field trips...

The girls each had a field trip with their school.....to none other than a local pumpkin patch.  Evelyn's class went on Monday and Lorelai's went on Wednesday.  I had to attend if I didn't want to haul their car seats into school so they could ride the van.  It is definitely fair to say that I am over pumpkin patches this year!  We went to quite a few, and they're certainly a blast for the whole family...but I think we're done until next year.  The girls had fun as always...

Trying to figure out this hay maze...

This animal lover always enjoys the petting zoo...

Checking out the turkeys...Thanksgiving dinner?

Solo trip in the hay maze....Mom's not around to help this time

Which way? Which way??

A joyous and triumphant finish!

This pumpkin patch had all kinds of games and activities for the kiddos

Lorelai's turn for a field trip

An ecstatic finish for her out of the maze as well!

Trying to force a smile.  I had no idea she had a double ear infection brewing...poor baby.

Feeding time!

Even Scarlet had fun!

October wrap-up...

Left over October pictures....

Spending this beautiful fall day going on a hike

Mommy's turn to carry the sleepy baby...

Passed out...hiking is rough!

Temper tantrum because I told her not to go into the cabinet...

...ok, fine, you win...you can play

pretty, pretty princess.  This girl loves dress up

Silly girls going on an ocean voyage

Look out!

now Evelyn is playing dress up with her little sister

Lorelai is really getting into arts and crafts. 

We are loving this autumn weather!

"I'm not sure about that mustache, Papa Joe!"

Trick-or-treat!

Halloween is here and the girls had such a great time trick-or-treating.  It seems as though the holiday is getting bigger.  There's trick-or-treating of course...but now there's also trunk-or-treating at the church, and a costume parade complete with candy at school too.  This candy will last until next year!

Cinderella is all ready to do a little Trunk-or-Treating at the church

And my evil villain is ready for some candy too!

On the hay ride to the trunk-or-treat event! 

Happy 1st Halloween, Scarlet!  She's such a cute pumpkin!

Evelyn with her class.  She decided no more Cinderella.  After tripping over her dress all night at the trunk-or-treat, she was over it.  But she was very excited to be Minnie Mouse!

I couldn't get Evelyn back into her Cinderella costume.  She said, "No Cinderella!  Minnie Mouse!!"  These girls are adorable and their costumes perfectly reflect their tastes and personalities

Is it just me?...or is my Darth Vader a little feminine?

Not a great picture of Addie's costume, but she's going as an Imperial Walker...from Star Wars.  Just a little transportation for Darth Vader

They made out pretty good...

Pumpkin Carving...

A Dai Family tradition of carving pumpkins!!!  One of my favorite Halloween activities!

Everyone participates!

Even Scarlet is getting in on the action.  Pumpkin is delicious!

Evelyn did not want to touch the pumpkin guts...picking out the insides seed by seed...

Lorelai is not afraid of getting a little messy!

Lorelai picked this one out.  Scary Moon!

Evelyn wanted a "Spooky Spider"

This is the one that Lorelai and Maddie did together.  Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas.  Not bad for her first pumpkin carving...

Daddy's masterpiece!

Pumpkins all in a row...
