MJ and a Farmer

We did a trial run for Halloween tonight.  In between toddlers throwing fits, we actually went to 2 houses (who were expecting us, since it's not Halloween). 


Mimi made this awesome tractor costume!

Hudson as an adorable Frankenstein!

Owen loved the tractor, but didn't wear it when we actually went trick or treating.  Papa carried it along behind.

The Great Pumpkin

We didn't let a little stomach virus keep us from our annual pumpkin patch visit.  The same virus has taken over the Bakalars - so we missed them this year!  But we still had a great time!

And because I'm feeling sentimental....

Here's a little preview of Owen's Halloween costume.  And the barn - that's the box his boots came in, how awesome is that??

No Nap Weekends

I think it's official.  Owen and Olivia are done napping at home.  This was the first weekend that I barely tried to make them take a nap, and decided to just keep them busy constantly.

Look at Hudson - just like the big kids!

Saturday Night KU Football
We are crazy, but we braved the game despite the storm forecast. 
Papa's seats are under the press box, which was awesome. 

We made it until the end of the 1st quarter, when the game went into a storm delay.  
Here we are waiting under the stadium for Daddy to pull up with the car.

And finally, a trip to Lake Lenexa before dinner.

We brought the strollers to push

Surprisingly, they did fairly well without naps.  They took naps in the car both days, but not for very long. 

Other than Olivia ending the day with a slight fever, we had a great weekend.
