Harrison Halloween Party

The Harrison Halloween Party always gives me a chance to get pictures before the craziness of Halloween :)

Afton really wanted to be a mime this year. 
 I love how her red Converse just match perfectly!

Lilly was a bee for the Harrison party.  I love that this is the same costume Lizzie wore when she was the same age :)
For school parties and actual trick or treating Lilly was a butterfly.

Indiana Jones appears again :)

And now presenting ..........Queen Elizabeth

Jim is really into bees right now so he was very happy to be a beekeeper so I was his Queen Bee

We even had a little mini bee :)

Cornbelly's

We made our annual trip to Cornbelly's.  It really is one of my favorite nights of October.

A little blurry but here is Ethan on a mini zip line.  All the kids loved it.  Unfortunately they were all too fast for me to get a good picture. 

This photo is the best.  Not only was Lilly upset about something but the photo bomber was perfect!!!

Lilly was not quite ready to be in the picture

Jim and I with our teens.  LOVE

Twins who aren't really twins ;)

Picking Pumpkins

On Monday night we went and picked out our pumpkins with the grandparents.  Our usual place had a new admission fee so we headed on over to Schmidt's pumpkin patch.  It ended up being a very good decision.  It was a fun night and we will get back together in a couple weeks to carve our pumpkins.

We even found some alpacas!

Ready for the hayride to start

If you can carry it you can have it :)

Hillcrest Homecoming 2018

It is crazy to realize we have a kid who is old enough to go to high school dances!

 Ethan went to his first school dance with his friend Elli.

Good looking group of friend here.
Emily, Will, Ethan and Elli

They went ice skating for their day activity, took a few pictures around Gardner village, ate at Archibalds, went to the dance and came back here to hang out for a bit.  Sounds like it was a fun night. 

 We have now entered the dance
