Apple Picking

Every Monday morning Sam has a play group with his friends (and Jack gets to tag along for the fun).  There are 5 boys total in the group, and we moms take turns organizing activities.  In October, we met up at Highland Orchards for some apple picking.  The boys had as much fun eating the apples as they did picking them!

Longwood Gardens

We had such beautiful weather in October.  We spent one of the glorious fall afternoons in beautiful Longwood Gardens.  I took the boys here several times when we first moved here, but we hadn't been back in a couple of years.  This was actually Paul's first time visiting the awesome horticultural displays of this amazing place.  As the pictures show, we had a great afternoon!

Halloween Festivities

Halloween with kids is a month-long celebration--it gets tiring!  It is fun, though, and the boys absolutely love it.  For the first time they decided to dress up as something other than a superhero for Halloween this year.  When Max picked this costume I thought it was going to be ugly.  However, once these two cuties tried them on my heart fluttered.  Aren't Mario and "Guigi" adorable?

Max and Sam had a Halloween parade at their preschool...

 

And Super Jack got to dress up for his Romparoo class...

 

 Then we had the MOMS club Halloween party...

And we went on a "hay"ride to a fun Halloween house...

 Where we saw a silly puppet show and got to try on silly hats, masks and a variety of other fun costume accessories.

  

The West Chester Halloween parade was spectacular this year--probably because the weather was GORGEOUS that night...

 

 And last but not least, the event that culminates from all the partying and parading in October: Trick-or-Treating!

 

In the 'hood...

 

Max got really into it this year and was running from house to house ringing doorbells, leaving his brothers in the dust.  Sam just wanted to eat a piece of candy after every stop.  Jack was enjoying the stroll at dusk in his cool costume.  It was a nice way to end the month!
