Family Pics
It's that time of year again and we had some family pics taken of us. The pics show a little bit of the personality of the kiddos, but only give you a glimpse into the everyday craziness that is our lives. Big thank you to Jeff Dunkel for the pics yet again.

Halloween
So this is a little late, but regardless it's worthy of a post. To start the Halloween fun we went to a friend's party where all the kiddos played and had a good time. Not too many pics, but fun, nonetheless.
To dress the kids up, this year we decided we would have a theme since it's probably the last year we have a say in what they wear. So we chose the angel and devil since it seemed fitting given our kids and their personalities. This is a quintessential picture if I could ever have one from a typical moment in our household. We even carved pumpkins a couple days early and let Ben pick his 'scary' pumpkin face.
Halloween night Ashley was somewhat aware of what is going on and got into the spirit halfway through our block. Of course Ben had a blast, but Ash wasn't so sure at first. She spent most of the time clinging to Brian or I until we were about 8 houses in at which time she proceeded to run up to the front doors and grab candy from the baskets of our neighbors. Overall it was a success and a lot of fun.

Leaves
It's that time of year again and lots of leaves are falling. Too many in fact or for the kids it was just right to play in. We couldn't get the pile high enough for Ben's standards, but we managed to make it taller than him on occasion at least.
At first Ash wasn't too sure of it, but the more she saw her brother having fun, the more she jumped in and enjoyed.
Playing together
Based on this pic you would think Ben was done and needed a nap, but that's never the case for him. I was lucky enough though to capture this pic where he looks content and resting, but it really only lasted maybe 5 seconds tops.

Pumpkin Patch
We went to the pumpkin patch this past weekend and it was a good adventure as always. Our favorite local place has become Johnson Farms and they've redone parts of the place. There is plenty for the kids to do and pumpkins are cheap (but you do have to pay to get in which brings it back to normal pricing to some degree). It was a little chilly and muddy at first, but the rain boots were a success and it warmed up for playtime.
