758 Days

We are getting ready for Halloween over here! We got the house all decorated and the girls have their costumes (pictures will be posted on Halloween)!

Checking out the decorations and talking about the Halloween party she's going to have at school.

(As we were taking pictures of the decorations, Arianna's friend Noelani and her mom dropped by so that Nola could give Ari a gift- The Lion King!)

Today, Jon and I took the girls to Belvedere Plantation for the Fall Festival. We had a great time (even with the crazy wind) and came home with a pumpkin for Arianna.

It was too dark and crowded to take pictures inside, but the barn was full of ropes that Jon helped Ari swing on.

They had larger barrel slides built in to a big hill.

She got to go down once with mom and once with dad! Happy girl <3

This was also hilarious and I wish I had gotten video. Arianna wanted to ride on these pedal tractors, but her legs weren't quite strong enough to work the pedals so Jon helped her. Since she had him to push her, she got to focus on steering. At some point, she realized that it was SUPER FUN to jerk the wheel to one side or the other and crash into the rail. Seeing her dad get flustered each time she did it made it even more fun :D

Did I mention that Jon was also holding Lucy while helping Arianna? That made it even MORE FUN (for me to watch)!
IMG_1544

I finally decided to be nice and take the baby so that he could use both hands to push her.
IMG_1547

As you can see, he is now helping her steer. His words after all of this was over were, "never again." Teaching her to drive should be fun (for him, of course).

Taking a hayride to the pumpkin patch.

Looking for the perfect pumpkin, though we all had different ideas of what "perfect" meant. I told her it needed to be small enough for her to carry (since Jon and I already had our hands full), Jon said it needed to have a stem, and Arianna wanted one "that isn't all gross and dirty."
IMG_1551

Lucy's first experience with a pumpkin. "Hmm, what is this thing?"
IMG_1553

IMG_1554

We actually found a perfect pumpkin!
