Halloween
After celebrating Halloween for the last two weeks, we finally reached the big night. Due to a High School Football game, we even got to Trick or Treat on Halloween instead of the usual Des Moines Area night before.
Zoe went around the cul-de-sac with Amelia and her friends then returned to help me hand out treats.

Center Grove Orchard with Daddy
We finally took Daddy to the orchard with us.
We took advantage of a great deal for some professional pictures which turned out pretty well in spite of the chilly, windy weather.

We had a great time picking apples, completing the corn maze and playing all over the farm yard.

Living History Farms
Our first Halloween Activity was at Living History Farms. Amelia was a little disappointed that she couldn't show me inside all the buildings but had a good time. Zoe enjoyed her first trick or treating experience.
"The Look" and "The Royal Yes"
Zoe's had some interesting facial expressions lately.
Apparently, Mummy uses this look a little too much when disapproving of what the girls are up to.
Amelia learned "yes" long before she shook her head. Zoe, on the other hand has been shaking her head vigorously for a while now. This week she learned to nod, in a very regal way.

Howell's Pumpkin Patch
October 11th
The girls and Kate visited Howell's Pumpkin Patch this year with MOMS Club. Amelia picked out a baby pumpkin for Zoe and they had a great time playing.

| Amelia cranked the goat food all the way up to the top where the goats tended to catch it even before it hit the bucket. |

| Zoe had been wanted to get up on the cow for at least 5 minutes before I took this picture. |

Pumpkin Hats
September
Kate crocheted pumpkin hats for the girls this year. We get a lot of comments when we're out wearing them. Here's the girls modeling them by the playset in the back yard.

Soccer
Amelia has had a great time playing soccer with Happy Feet this fall. We'll probably pick it up again this Spring once we're not so busy on the weekends.
