We've had a busy last week and a half...and are still trying to finish up house projects before Thanksgiving! I'm still waiting to get my fancy camera back from Nikon but managed to snap a couple good ones with my Canon.
The boys decided their new idea of fun was Zach sitting in one of their suitcases and Jacob pulling him around...
Zach LOVED it!
I think he might've fallen out once or twice before he figured out he better hold on tight to the front of it!
That evening, we celebrated Jacob's kitty cat "Toonces" 3rd birthday..cupcakes and all!
Toonces thought they were great!
Since we were celebrating Toonces birthday, Zach decided we needed to celebrate his kitty cat, Whiskars, birthday also. I've got a video that I'm working on uploading but it's feeling stinky and not wanting to work fast enough! I'll add it later!
Then it was time to go get our pumpkins!! We normally go to the Ashland Berry Farm but didn't have time on our trips to VA this year so we had to find a pumpkin patch somewhere by us. It seems the norm around us is to have pumpkins set out, all clumped together for people to pick from (instead of actually going out to the pumpkin field and picking your own). The boys still had fun though!
Similar to the Ashland Berry Farm, this place did all you can carry pumpkins for 19.99..only you had to walk from one tent to another (at the Berry Farm you just take 3 steps!).
Then we had to stop at our local "fishing hole" and feed the ducks leftover waffles and confetti pancakes.
They must've been super hungry!
Then it was time to carve our pumpkins!! I wish I would've gotten one of Jacob carving his pumpkin...he did the entire thing with a kids' butter knife!
We told them to draw a face on their pumpkins to cut out...to them that meant stab the pumpkin with the pencil over and over.
We roasted hot dogs and toasted marshmallows after we were done carving! Yum!!
HALLOWEEN!!!
Zach started out the day as a monster!
Batman and Batman!!
Such sweet boys!
Meeting up with their friends to go trick or treating!
The whole gang!
This past Saturday, we went to Cherry Crest Adventure Farm! I've been wanting to take the boys there since summertime and just hadn't made it out there yet.
(But before we went they started out their day by looking through a toy magazine picking out what they wanted for Christmas.)
They LOVED the huge spider webs to climb on!
Zach did better on the smaller one..
but he still ended up falling over frequently! (In true Zach fashion!)
Pretending to ride a "daddy operated" bull.
Jake's turn!
They had a HUGE slide there....
a little bit closer!
Jacob and I on the slide.
I was sort of confused by this. It said it was a tunnel to crawl through then all of a sudden Jake was on top of it running--Zach was nowhere in sight. I sent Jacob back in to look for Zach when of course, Zach comes racing around the side in tears saying his brother left him. I guess Jake got way too excited in the tunnel and just took off! I plopped Zach on top of the hay bales and he looked miserable..
until Jake popped back out of the tunnel!

He loved seeing the train while we were eating lunch.
They didn't just have the big slide, they had a big tunnel slide too!
It would've been like dominos if Jake would've been a second or so sooner.
Zach on a slide at the playground there.
They had these giant "pillows" for the kids to jump on. Think of it as a HUGE moonbounce without sides. They LOVED it!!
Then of course you have to test your strength...
Then there was the petting zoo portion...
Zach got to pet the baby goat up close and personal!
Super fuzzy chickens!!
I think this was the first time Jacob actually pet the animals at a petting zoo!
Yum!
The kids had such an awesome time at Cherry Crest!
It's definitely a place we'll hope to visit again next season!
