Sunday: PUMPKIN PATCH!!!! Usually we go to Walter's Pumpkin Patch, but we wanted something a little closer to home this year so we went to Cox's Farm instead. It was just as much fun, and a lot cheaper. First Ares played some carnival games, and won a prize!
Then the kids explored the kid tunnels, "milked" a cow, and played on the playground.
Next up was the tractor train! They were all excited to go, but once they started Brigid freaked out so I had to take her out. Poor baby! At least Ares and Ceridwen had fun though.
After this we went to through the hay maze. I think Ares had the most fun in the maze out of all of us!
Once we were done with the hay maze, the kiddos got some temporary tattoos, and then they road tricycles around.
We then rode on a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. Once we got there we saw that there was a petting farm, and Ares was able to feed the goats.
Then it was time to go through the corn maze. Luckily this was an easy corn maze, and all of the kids enjoyed it!
As soon as we were done with the corn maze, it was time for everyone to pick their pumpkins!
We rode the hayride back to the exit, and was able to finally get a picture of all of them with my mom.
Monday: This was just a normal day for us. The girls played, and did a water activity. Ares went to school, and he did his homework when he got home, like he does everyday when he is with me, and then we colored and played with legos.
Tuesday: Now this day was action packed! After Kyle and I dropped Ares off at school, I met up with Kyle Ann and Jude for a play date at the park while Kyle went to move stuff out of storage from his brother's place. Ceri, Brigid, and Jude had so much fun playing together!
Kyle and I then went and did some Christmas shopping, and we made a pit stop at Petland so the girls could play with a puppy. Sorry everyone I didn't think about it at the time, but they should have played with the black puppy for this week, but instead I made them play with whatever breed this dog is that is completely hypo-allergenic since I'm allergic to dogs.
After this we went home for lunch, and then picked up Ares from school. We then took them all to their Grandma and Grandpa's house to say hi, and for them to give Ares his Halloween costume. He was so excited because he was going to be a BLUE Batman!
Wednesday: We did an art activity for the day, and this actually had to do with the color black! I had the girls make handprint spiders.
Once Ares was out of school I went to his parent teacher conference, and then we did his homework for the day, and since he did such a great job with he, he was allowed to go to his Aunt Lindsey's pumpkin carving party! He had so much fun!
Thursday: After taking Ares to school, the day was filled with cleaning, washing clothes, and finishing packing for the twins and I's trip to Colorado with my Mom. Sadly, Ares was not able to join us because his dad had other plans.
Friday: We made it to Denver, Colorado, and spent the day at the Denver Zoo. This was the first time I had ever been there so it was very exciting to see some animals that our zoo doesn't have. Here are some pictures from our trip.
This picture is for all of The Princess Bride fans out there. Now you know that ROUS' (Rodents of unusual size) really do exist!
We had the girls ride the carousal at the zoo. Considering Brigid's dislike of the tractor train earlier this week we didn't think she would like it. It surprised us when she was the one who loved it, and Ceri was the one who had a melt down.
We then went back to the hotel for a relaxing swim, and then went to Annette and D.T.'s house for dinner and good company. We all had a wonderful time, and the food was delicious!
Saturday: That morning I got the girls in their costumes that I had made for them (Ceri was Harley Quinn and Brigid was Poison Ivy), and drove to Broomfield (a suburb of Denver) for their Annual Spooktacular event. The girls had a blast playing the games, getting prizes, and trick or treating.
After all this fun it was time for even more fun! It was time to go to my best friend Cassidi's house for her son Charlie's 3rd birthday. She did an amazing job with the party, it was super cute!!! The theme was super hero so she had some really cute labels for the food like, "Make your own Hero Sandwich", "Hulk Power Punch", and Kyrptonite (which was green rock candy).
We all had so much fun at the birthday party!
After the party we were too full to eat dinner, but Mom and I picked up cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory to have later. Pumpkin cheesecake was definitely a perfect ending to an awesome day!
On Sunday it was time to say goodbye to Colorado, and head back home. Kyle and Ares had a ton of fun without us though. On Saturday, they brought flowers to Grandma for her birthday, and then went to Amy's for a Halloween Party with all of the cousins. Ares was especially excited about this because Camden had come up from Oklahoma for the party. Then on Sunday they went to church, watched the Chiefs win, and then went to Jacoby's 3rd birthday party. We got home a lot earlier than we thought we would, and I was able to surprise my boys when they got home from the party!
