More Thumbsucking

The girls were never ones to suck their thumbs or take pacifiers, so this is new territory for me.  

It is incredibly cute, but I worry about him putting things in his mouth when he gets mobile.  For now, I'll just enjoy the sweetness!

Hanging out with Conner - could they be any cuter?

Pumpkin Patch

It's time again for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch with the grandparents and great-grandparents.  We already had the kids' costumes so we decided to go ahead and trick-or-treat early.  Here is our little unicorn and fairy princess:

Now the dragon is in the pictures too:

One of the first times Logan is really tri-poding.  Cutest dragon ever:

Changed out of Halloween costumes and into Halloween shirts for our trip to the patch:

Hannah got grandma to do the big maze.  Hope grandma has GPS on her cell!

They made it back - ready for a trip out to pick our pumpkins.  Daddy has joined us:

Off the wagon ride:

So many choices!  Good thing grandma and grandpa helped Logan!

Hannah finally agreeing to a pumpkin that was big (but not the very biggest one out there):

Grandma and grandpa riding back too:

It was fun!  A bit colder than it has been in previous years, but that actually made it feel like fall.  Our trip was a success!

Logan's First Trip To The Children's Museum

The girls have been begging to do the museum and since we have a pass, I thought we'd go after school one day.  Today we decided to see how Logan liked it:

Seems like a big success!

Splash Park

Hannah's school does a "balanced" calendar, meaning they get 2 weeks off after each quarter and then 2 months during the summer.  This year, we decided to surprise the girls with a fun trip during the 1st Intercession here in Oct.  We wanted to do Holiday World, but we ended up choosing the weekend that it poured down rain, so I called and cancelled our reservations and made some in the water park at French Lick instead.  Paul and Marie offered to come help and with 3 kids, we gladly took them up on the offer.  We didn't tell the kids until we were on our way, and they were so excited!

Here is our hotel room:

Testing out the bunk bed and getting ready to head to the indoor water park:

A quick pic before they ran off to play:

Daddy and Hannah after going down one of the big tubes:

The package I bought included laser tag and mini-golf.  Aunt Jen had joined us by this time and the girls were so excited to see her!  Here is Logan at mini-golf.  It was glow-in-the-dark and his sleeper was as well for some reason!

We got up bright and early the next day, had breakfast, and went back for another round of swimming fun:

Everyone had a great time and was sad when it was time to go!  We will definitely be doing a small (or hopefully occasionally large) vacation in Oct from now on!
