Circus, Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Party!

So much to catch up on!! We took the kids to the circus a few weeks ago...it was lots of fun but super hot! It was under an actual tent, no a/c, and I about died from heat exhaustion! But it was fun none the less! After our fun circus trip, we stopped at a local pumpkin patch on the way home to get a pumpkin! Allie asks everyday if we can carve it...she will be thrilled this weekend when we finally say yes! This past weekend Greg's squadron had a kids Halloween party! LOVE seeing all the cute costumes...Allie had a great time. Nathan took it all in like a champ, and even fell asleep for a while in his ergo carrier. Gotta love a napping baby! Enjoy the pictures!

Pony ride at the circus!

Can you see how much Nathan is sweating already...and this was just the start of the show!

Allie loving her mini pumpkin

Nathan getting ready for the Halloween party!

I know what youre thinking...why did she put up a picture of cupcakes? Well, Greg's squadron is the skulls, and its Halloween, so I made skull cupcakes for the party! Loved how they turned out!!

A few of the kids posing for a picture. I was happy to at least get this many kids to sit still for a picture!!

When all else fails, go to the beach!

And that is usually what we do! Below are pictures from 2 different trips to 2 different beaches. The first is a local state park which happens to be on the gulf! The 2nd is an island in Destin that you can only get to by boat. Fun times!!

Everyone gets to slide!

Swinging like a big boy!

Allie and Reagan getting ready to make sand castles!

Allie, Reagan and the daddys with their finished sand castle kingdom!

The 2 beach beauties!

Happyland Bear!

Once a week at Allie's preschool, one child gets to take home the Happyland Bear on a Thursday. They get to keep him (or her, in our case) throughout the weekend and then bring her back to school on Tuesday and tell the class what they did with the bear. We captured what we did with the bear on camera, and Allie got to take the pictures to school to show her friends! Hope you enjoy the pictures too!

The group when we first got the bear home.

Big surprise, we took her on the boat!

And to the beach...

And to a bouncy castle...

And to see Co Co the clown...

And to the driving range...

And in the car, many times. We now miss the Happyland Bear! :(
