Stegner Halloween Party

We had a great evening at the Stegner Halloween Party. We only wish we had taken more photos.

Not sure how we are going to make it through Halloween. Bought this Bee costume on clearance at Old Navy. She has also been a Butterfly. I also have a Spider and Octopus at home- from Evan. Hummm...

Tim's last minute Construction Worker costume, and our little White Power Ranger, Evan- he got that one from his stash of dress up costumes.

Rockin out to Thriller on X-box Kinect!

Bumble Bee, and Momma Gypsy

Tim's turn to have a go at Thriller. Not realizing that being good at the video game, does not make one a good dancer! See- Gwen is not impressed.

Evan, the Philadelphia Hamburger, met his friend Joseph, the Devil, at the Buffalo Zoo for their Halloween festivities. We started this when the boys were not even 1 yr old, back when we were neighbors :>( (Miss you!) Anyway, it was great to get together again and share a fun evening at the Zoo with them, followed by a dinner at Romeo and Juliet's. Delish!

The boys greeting one another- The Devil taking a bite out of the Hamburger. Too funny to watch them role play in their costumes.

Finishing the night at the Zoo up with the Hamburger and Devil ready to play a game of chase!

The Great Pumpkin Farm

I am not really sure why, but we choose to go to The Great Pumpkin Farm on a very windy day- I think there was a wind warning. The rides were not open. Neither was any of the extra attractions. That ended up working out well for us. We shared the farm with only a handful of people and had a blast!

Posing on the way in! Daddy and his little ones!

For once, Mommy gets a picture taken with the kids!

Tim wanted to get a picture of the kids on the hay with the "Keep Off" sign. Guess he is a rebel at heart.

Gwen loved this too- but she would not stay in one place long enough to take a picture!

Climbing amongst the pumpkins.

Notice- Gwen is now wearing Evan's batman hat. She wanted it on and Evan was kind enough to let her borrow it.

The Girls!

Becker Farms

We had a great time going to Becker Farms earlier this month. It was Evan's turn to bring Sophie home from school, so there is a small stuffed bunny that appears in some of the pictures!

Sophie squeezing her way into a phone!

Gwen bit it and fell, getting covered in mud. She popped right back up again and was fine.

Until Daddy tried to put her in the stroller. She is crying because she wants to run around, not because she is muddy! Love her!

Ready to go again

Evan and Sophie climbed to the top of Becker Mountain.

Kiddos and their Daddy!

Gwendolyn's second trip to the dentist

Gwendolyn did a great job at her second dentist appointment! She sat in the chair all by herself and was an excellent patient the entire time!

Evan's First Day of School

Evan started Full Day Pre-K (Pre-K 4, if you ask him). He is really enjoying it. Although, yesterday he told us that he has a new seat at school. I asked if it was just something special for him or if the whole class got new seats. He replied that it was him and one other boy. "We were talking a lot, Mom."
