Pumpkin Patch 2014

We took the kiddos to a pumpkin patch today. It was super-special because they got a slushy from Sonic on the way! We weren't there very long because it was PACKED! Here are my photo gems:
Right after this, Abby gave us attitude. She has this personality flaw where she knows you want her to do something and she wants to show you that you can't control her. For instance, when we said "Smile!" we got this for a solid 3 minutes:

But Derek got her a little more chipper (but she still didn't want to look at the camera):
Then the kids played on the playground a bit before we came home.
That hair of hers is WILD!!!

Just for grins, here's our pumpkin patch visits for:

Pumpkin Patch & Costumes

On Saturday we headed over to a local pumpkin patch for some photo ops. When we were done, we headed over to Snuffers to use a gift card Derek had won. And last night, we went over to Matt & Anna's annual Halloween party! We had a great time, but the kiddos refused to sleep there, so we had to head home pretty early. Photos from the day:

And our family Instagram photo. (From Instagram, then in original format)

That photo currently has 108 likes and 27 comments! I've only had one other pic with more comments. As best I can tell, our outfits are second only to announcing the birth of my baby girl as the most commented photo on my facebook. I guess men in tights trump cute kids!
