Autumn in Texas!

There really aren't definite seasons in Texas, but that doesn't stop anyone from enjoying all that Fall has to offer! We always enjoy St. Peters Pumpkin Patch which is just down to street from our house- it's a great way to get in the holiday spirit!!!!
And then there's always the Texas favorite-Dewberry Farms! This year Maddie and I were lucky enough to go twice... Once with her class and once with the whole family! We didn't last long with the fieldtrip as a crazy rain storm came out of nowhere and we were forced to hunker down in the mess hall- good times:-) Fun was still had by all!

And we went a week later with some other families and had a cookout/campfire and did the night time Dewberry thing- lots of fun! Here are some pics:

Halloween 2009

Meet Super Mario Brothers... Mario, Luigi and Princesses Peach & Rosetta!

As always we had way too much fun dressing up for Halloween! The kids are really into the Wii and love the Mario Brother games, so it seemed fitting to dress as them:-) We were lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa McGinnis visiting so we had helpers to pass out candy while we made the rounds... And just like last year Cooper ended up with about twice as much candy as everyone else... How you ask??? Well, he would charm the neighbors and continue to fill his bag. Some cutting him off and others quite entertained!

Here's the whole group- and yes Duncan and I were the only 2 adults to dress up... We laughed at how it looked like they were all our kids, even with a bun in the oven! Octomom eat your heart out!!!


And here are some other pictures of Grandma and Grandpa's visit!
