Cornbellys

We had such a good time at Cornbellys despite the cold temperature and mist. We brought our niece Kaylee along with us and her and Sage loved running around together. Harper was a good sport as always. This just may be added to our October tradition list! 

Halloween Celebration 2012

We can't believe October is over... Halloween has come and gone! We had so much fun this season with lots of festive events. The following pictures show what Halloween looked like for us... In the morning Sage and I painted pumpkins and then enjoyed Halloween oreos to cheer us up since we were a little sad we couldn't eat the paint... We also baked some yummy pumpkin spice sandwich cookies with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Sage loves to help in the kitchen mostly because she loves to lick the beater after we mix. After nap we went and joined some of the cousins at Uncle McKay's work to do some trick-or -treating around the office. Sage wanted to eat every treat before it even went in her bucket. She finally got the hang of it! We picked Taylor up from work and then went to meet all the cousins for dinner and some more trick-or-treating. We just did a few houses and called it a night. We got Sage ready for bed and thought for sure she would fall asleep on the way home, but she got a second wind, so we stopped by the Karren's to check out Allen's spooky creation and did a few houses with them too. It was such a fun night! 

It is difficult to get 9 children under the age of 8 to sit still for a picture... 

We were a three ring circus! Taylor is our ring leader! 

Party Elephant

Sage is a little party elephant. A party elephant who does not want to sit still for a picture! Yesterday we attended a Halloween Party with the mom's group. Sage loved running around with the kids and playing games. Today, we went to the library for their halloween program and sang halloween songs, listened to halloween stories and went trick or treating around the library with the bags they decorated with halloween stickers. She had lots of fun and it apparently wiped her out because she is taking an extra long nap this afternoon. We love halloween. 

Wheeler Farm with Cole Man

Yesterday Sage and I met up with our friends Caitlin and Cole for a playdate at Wheeler Farm for their Pumpkin Days and Hay Maze. The kids would have been content chasing the ducks and geese around all afternoon, but we took them through the maze, on a hay ride and picked out a pumpkin. It was a lot of fun and nice to get outside before the weather gets too cold. Afterwards, Cole came over to play for a little while. They have so much together. It is so fun to see them interact as they get older. Each time we get together they are both doing new things and interact just a little more than the last. We have been arranging their marriage since before they were born. Cole is about 6 weeks younger than Sage. When we ask Sage if she is going to marry Cole she says, "yeah." We sure hope so! Either way we have a feeling that those two are going to be good friends!
