Happy Fall Y'all!

October is my favorite month.  And October has been full of fun activities: National Night Out, getting costumes, buying pumpkins, inviting neighbors over for Halloween s'mores, and our godson's birthday!  This weekend we crossed off several items from that list.  

Originally Jane had planned an amazing Wheel of Fortune themed 1st birthday party for little Kai, but similar to our party plans, both Jane and Scott were sick the week and weekend of the original party date.  The rescheduled party fell so close to Halloween that they changed to theme to a Cupcake Costume party!  I somehow didn't get any pictures of Kai in his tiger costume at all...and Hudson threw his puppy dog ears off at every chance...and Maddy didn't want to wear her cat ears.  Man, I'm good at capturing details of events through pictures! 

Kai is so close to walking so Hudson chased him around while Kai scooted on the floor.  He did walk all the way across the kitchen after the party died down.  He didn't want to show off too much in front of his guests.  Happy birthday Kai!  You are now ONE and we love you! 

Today we were off to the Great Hill Country Pumpkin Patch.  We invited neighbors, but it was just us in the end. Maddy and Hudson enjoyed every activity even though we have done the same thing every year, they still have a blast.  I love the picture of Maddy's scarecrow she dressed.  That outfit looks vaguely familiar.  

Hudson was a little unsure about everything at first, but warmed up to a baby goat soon after.  They were both the smallest kids around so I think they bonded over their short stature.  Kid....hahah.

This is my favorite.  I'm determined to one day get a good picture at the pumpkin patch of the two of them, but so far no luck.  Maybe if we didn't go when the sun was blaring so much, but then we couldn't beat the crowd.  I kinda like these pictures though.  Maddy is not a poser and I forsee Hudson following in her footsteps of fleeing the camera whenever I ask them to smile.  

We also carved a few pumpkins tonight with our neighbors, but I'll post more on that with pictures from Halloween.  Maddy is counting down the days.  I told her she couldn't have any treats until Wednesday because I know she is going to sneak way more than we allow her to eat.  Did I mention we just filled 3...yes 3 cavities for her on Monday? Yikes.  

Happy Fall Y'all!
