Do You Know What Santa is Up To?

Well I stumbled across this blog while surfing craigslist and I thought I would share it with everyone.   Santa has a blog!!!  Kaylynn is very into Santa at the moment and loves to find out what he and the elves are up too.  Oraphin is one of Santa's elves and he runs the blog and let's all the kids know what is going on, he also shares yummy recipes from Mrs. Claus.  It's a super cute blog.

Happy Halloween!!!

The girls on Halloween morning.  Kaylynn was so excited to dress up!
I love this picture!!!! Madison was the absolute cutest Caterpillar you have ever seen!  My mom is amazing, she made this outfit!
And Kaylynn was the most beautiful butterfly ever!  I made the tutu, it was super easy and really fun to make!
I was lil Miss Madison's leaf! HAHA!
And Chad was a butterfly catcher!

We went to a trunk or treat at our church.  This Kaylynn and her buddy "Bob the Builder"
This is Kaylynn playing ring around the rosies with her "best friend" lol

Doesn't my mom look cute!!!  She handed out candy and Chad and I took the kids around.

We always go to my grandma's house on Halloween.  It's fun to see everyone dressed up!

Our Annual Harrison Blvd Walk!

Last Fall we went on a walk down Harrison Blvd (the historic district) and fell in love with the houses and the trees and leaves were so beautiful that we decided to make it a family tradition.  This year we went with my mom and some friends.  We had so much fun.  We picked leaves, acorns and water chestnuts.  We let the girls play in the leaves on someone's sidewalk...if they were home I bet they got a good laugh at it!  Well  here are some pics of our relaxing and fun walk.

I just love this door and foliage!
Madison all snuggled up with her blanket in the stroller!
I love this style! It reminds me of the houses I grew up with in Germany... beautiful!
Chad and Kaylynn, she made a "hat" out of the leaves and was holding in on her head!
Having fun playing in the leaves!
Kaylynn and her friend Heather had sooooo much fun playing in the leaves together!


Look at all these pumpkins!  And every single one of them was carved!  It was really neat to look at up close!  It must have taken forever to carve all of them!

Pumpkin Patch and Maze!

We went to a local corn maze and pumpkin patch and had some family fun!  Kaylynn had a lot of fun in the corn maze!  We let her choose which way to go throughout the maze, which probably explains why we went into Phase 1 and came out of the exit of Phase 2!!! Ha ha! There was also a little area with a slide and a corn box (just like a sand box, but with corn kernals) and we picked pumpkins at the patch.  It was such a fabulous day!

We were finding corn in very strange places after our adventure...I wonder why?!?
Kaylynn picked out a great pumpkin!  Just the right size!

Aren't we cute farmers!

There was this huge blown up balloon that you could run and jump on.  Kaylynn loved it!
