Grandpa McFarland helped the girls carve pumpkins this year while he was visiting for the weekend=) Lauren wanted nothing to do with cleaning out or touching the pumpkin insides. She left that for her big sisters, who had too much fun flinging it on each other.
Daddy did a fantastic job coaching Ali and Katie this fall season! The girls loved having dad as coach=) Mike is such an amazing daddy and husband, we are one very lucky and blessed family!!
This was our 2nd year going to the Hoffmasters Children's Fall Festival with the Wahlberg family. This year was much nicer going in our new camper compared to the pop up last year=) The weather was so-so, the only really decent day was Saturday which was fine because that's when all the children's activities took place. The kids love it and the campsites that are decorated are really cool! Maybe again next year or maybe another campground that does a Halloween theme....somewhere though for sure!!
We made our annual trip up to Lewis Farms during the week, which is so much nicer than going on the weekends! We basically had the place all to ourselves=) Love this time of year, we had a beautiful and warm day and the colors in the trees were perfect. The girls each found their "perfect" pumpkin and then had a great time running around the farm.
So at 19 months of age we decided to put Lauren in her big girl toddler bed. That was the earliest out of all the girls but she was showing signs of starting to climb out and she loves climbing into Katie's bed so she was ready=) Her first night went really well, she fell out a few times but she never woke up, she just rolled right out! She loves it, she has her little nightstand right next to her bed with Elmo, Piglet and Boo Boo Bear. She thinks she is big stuff and is very protective of her bed....she won't let either of her bigger sisters go in it at all!
Mike and I were very honored that Missy and Allen asked us to be Chase's godparents! It was a beautiful day filled with lots of love and family. We are so blessed to have Chase in our lives.
