October happenings in Michigan

We absolutely loooooove October in Michigan. The weather is beautiful, the leaves on all the trees are changing, and the cider mills are open. We took a family trip to one recently and enjoyed yummy apple cider and fresh cinnamon sugar/powdered sugar doughnuts! Poor Josh couldn't eat the doughnuts so we brought him animal crackers instead. I hate this milk allergy!















One weekend we went to the zoo - the weather was PERFECT!!



They had a few bands playing music. Maya was being such a stinker this day! I love Nick's face here because it pretty much sums up how our trip to the zoo was! At least Josh was a sweetie.



Last weekend we picked up some pumpkins and I think tonight we will carve and decorate them. I love Halloween! Maya had her party at school today and got to dress up. She was going to be Ariel but decided to be a fairy instead, fine with us because we had everything for that costume too. Her teacher, Mrs. McCarthy, was dressed up as Cruela Deville...awesome costume!





Have I mentioned how much Josh LOVES airplanes? He was much more interested in spotting them in the sky than picking out a pumpkin. We've discovered that he also loves pushing cars on the floor, putting his shoes and jacket on, and wearing any type of hat. I love this boy so much!



My sweet girl. I swear, ever since she turned four, her temper tantrums have improved drastically! Maybe I shouldn't jink myself....regardless, we've really been enjoying her!





This was taken on Wednesday before school. Josh heard me telling Maya to smile and came crawling in as fast as he could because he wanted to be in the picture too.





Random picture, but J looks really cute here.



Here is Maya all ready for her party! She was excited because I "creeped" (crimped) her hair, and put a little pink eye shadow and blush on her.



So happy to be a fairy! Notice Josh trying to weasel his way into the picture...







Tomorrow we have another Halloween party and then I can take pictures of Josh in his scary Dracula costume!!
