Back to the Pumpkin Patch We Go...

     I headed out to Mesilla Valley Maze & Family Fun Farm again, this time with both kiddos.  It was a HOT HOT HOT day out there!  But that didn't stop us from having a good time.  My Spouse's Club arranged a pot luck lunch for all of us.  I brought some yummy Pecan Pumpkin Bars to share, they were a big hit.        After some lunch, we headed out to let the kiddos have some fun!

Liam loved going down the slides!

Time to pick some more pumpkins! 

It was another fun filled day at the pumpkin patch! 

To the Pumpkin Patch We Go.....

     I love this time of year...it's pumpkin picking time!  Although, picking pumpkins in New Mexico is very different then picking them in, say any northern state.  Here it is still hot or at least warm for the fall season.  But that didn't stop me from dressing my little fashionista in some cute clothes just in case I got some good pictures of her.  Gotta be photo ready right?  

     Well, we haven't gone to the pumpkin patch all season until now.  My MOPs group set up a playdate with all the mommies to bring our kiddos.  Kinley had a great time exploring, climbing, jumping, picking, and playing with her friends.

A little snack before getting on hay ride to the pumpkin patch....

Time to pick some pumpkins...

Picking out the perfect pumpkin

She found it!

She wanted to carry her pumpkin everywhere!

Our pumpkins!

It was a lot of fun! Can't wait to go back on with Liam!

WOW! Where did October go??

     I don't know about you, but did October seem like it just flew by?  I have been soooo busy with all these fall festivities I have barely had time to blog! Craziness right! So, here's all the fun stuff we did for October all in one post!! We had a Weekend of FUN with some wonderful visitors,  Will & Erica (the kiddo's Godparents)

We all went to the Mesilla Valley Maze Family Fun Farm

We actually got a some what decent family picture!

I found these spooky Crayola Crayons and cooking book for Liam!

Of course, I couldn't get just one, I had to get all 8!!

We made our Halloween Spooktacular Skeleton Cards

We visited our favorite Cupcake Shop Let Them Eat Cake

for some Bootiful Halloween cupcakes

The Brains of the family

We dressed the kiddos up in their Halloween costumes 

and took them to the Mesilla Park Fall Festival.

Liam was Darth Vader and Kinley was Princess Leia

Then they tried some bowling.

Kinley just wanted to grab the pins.

Slam dunk Kinley!

Playing a little Tic~Tac~Toe

All of Liam's Angry Bird training has come to this!

He was a PRO!

While Liam and daddy played some games, 

she was having a BALL in the ball pit!

We enjoyed some chili dogs and corn dogs from Wienerschnitzel!

Kinley helped me bake up some Pumpkin Bread

We attended at Pirate Costume Birthday party for one of Liam's friends.

Rrrrrr Matey!

There was so much to do...

And lots of games to play too!

Piñata Time!

We all had a great time!

With it being fall season, pumpkin flavored food is EVERYWHERE!

I found this Pumpkin Spice Caramel Dip that Liam and I had for 

afternoon snack time! It was really good!

Liam and I had some fun creating spooky pictures on PicMonkey

And Kinley had a little Harry Potter inspired photo shoot!

She is wearing her Potter shirt one of my friend's made her.

I made some S'mores Candy Corn Biscotti

I made some regular (white, orange, and yellow) candy corn biscotti too!

This year instead of carving our pumpkin, we made it into Darth Vader.

We painted the pumpkin black and used some pumpkin push-ins.

Darth Vader hopes you had a Fang-Tastic Halloween!

The Great Pumpkin stopped by our house while Liam was at school

and brought some fun Halloween surprises!

Can you guess the theme of this year's Halloween costume???

I was going to be R2D2, so I painted my nails blue, white, glittery polishes and 

put on the Holographic Nail Wraps from Jamberry.

This year we headed over to a friend's house for some 

spooky snacks and then Trick-or-Treating!

I made these Brain Cupcakes to take over!

The Force is strong between these two!

"Come in Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."

All the Spooky food!

Ghost Pizza

Brain Artichoke Dip

(I made this too)

Creepy Crawly Spiders

Brain Cupcakes

Time to go Trick-or-Treating!

Trick-or-treat!

Kinley and I headed back early to give out candy while 

daddy took Vader around to some more houses.

Marisa even made some balloon animals for the kids

and Jennie handed out the candy.

My and little bun!

Well, I hope you all had a great October and even spookier Halloween!

We sure did! Looking forward what November brings us!
