Different costumes for the neighborhood get-together.

Such a sweet moment.

The kiddos got all dressed up in their Jake and Izzy costumes before we left for Owloween.  Unfortunately the parking situation was messed up beyond belief and we ended up walking around the mall instead.  The kids still had a great time riding the indoor train, visiting the Disney store, and getting all sorts of attention from everyone around them.  🙂

We had a great time with Grand Pop and Grandma Karen at the Aquarium.  Everyone was smiling, even the fishies.  🙂

Tonight was International Night at Adalyn’s school and she was SUPER excited about wearing an authentic Indian dress to the event.  Big shout out to her bestie Bijal and her family for letting us borrow it.  How cute is she?!

Wow, it’s shocking to see how much the kiddos have changed since the last time we went Apple Pickin’.  Crazy!  Anyway, this year we decided to try a new place, BJ Reece Apple Orchards in North GA.  The family had a blast and we couldn’t have asked for better weather.  We picked countless apples, watched the pig races, rode the tractor, and ate our fill of gooey apple goodness (Cream Cheese Apple Fritters anyone?).  We definitely left giving Mr. Reece two thumbs way up!  I’m not sure if we’ll be allowed back though.  I don’t think Adalyn and Hunter left a single apple hanging from any of the trees they passed.  🙂

After bath time tonight, Adalyn asked me to “be a Genie.”

Me: “Adalyn, as an all powerful Genie, I’ll grant you three wishes!”

Adalyn: “I wish for flowers in my pocket…A hug from Hunter…aaand grass on the floor!”

This kid… 🙂

Why is Hunter dancing the jig?  Because he figured out how to turn the knob to open doors.  Mommy and Daddy are extremely…proud…and distressed.  🙂

While Adalyn was down for her nap, Hunter and I spent some time in his room playing with his dinosaurs.  He had a blast.  It wasn’t long though, before he wanted his Thomas the Train…  This kid.  🙂
