Fun Fall Activities

Fall is here and it is one of my favorite seasons.  I love the cool weather and the falling leaves.  I wasn't too big on the snow that came the other day but tis the season.

One of our favorite activities in the fall is to go on the Pumpkin Walk.  The kids enjoy all the neat displays and of course they love to take pictures.  We have a bunch of pictures but these are a few of my favorites.

 They are all so cute in this Clifford picture.

 I thought Jacob looked so cute as Harry Potter.

 Matthew insisted on getting in the princess ones.  I am going to haunt him when he is a teenager with all these photos!

 This is the Matthew I love to see.

 Of course Kimmy makes a beautiful princess.

 Jacob as Mickey... priceless

 All happy faces.

 One of our other favorite activities is our annual pumpkin carving night.  In ourder are Dads, Jacobs, Matthews, Moms, annd Kimberlys.  Granted Daddy does most of the carving but the kids (even Jacob) tell him what they would like.

Our cute new house decorated for Halloween.  I just cant wait for the next couple of holidays in our new house.

Bye old house, Hello new house

It finally happened... we moved.  And now I finally have a few minutes to talk about it.

I was planning on being so prepared... boxes organized and packed, house completely cleaned, etc.   Well I wasn't quite there when we finally got around to moving.  We were delayed about a week for circumstances beyond our control so I had an extra week to get ready.  But the day came and I still had a few more things to pack in the kitchen and bathroom.  It took me a few extra days to clean up the house.  Whew it was exhausting.  Plus we were homeless for like 5 days so that was a bit stressful.  We stayed with Brian's parents for a couple of the days and then we camped at a hotel for the rest of the days.  It did give us a chance to sit in a hot tub and relax the muscles which was nice.

 Here are the kids saying bye to the old house.  This was one of our last days there cleaning.

 So cute and happy.

So the day finally came to move into the house.  Completely crazy day trying to move everything into the garage, backyard, or house in just a few hours of daylight, plus girl scouts, and dance.  Man it was rough.  Thankfully Brian had beds up and made for the night so we had something to sleep on.

It has been a couple weeks now and we are finally starting to feel like we live here instead of living out of boxes.  We have a few projects to work on but we are excited to work on them.

 This is a view from my front porch.  I love this view.

 Here are the kids at our new house.

Happy kids.

So glad to be in Millville at a place we can call home.
