She was SO EXCITED!!!

Owen was excited too, something else to jump on!!!

Celebration Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch in Celebration with my mom's group

last week.

The kids wore their Halloween shirts and had a great time with all their friends.

Saturday we went to Eustis to take a real train ride to Farmer Brown's Pumpkin Patch.

The kids were very excited this past week to ride a real train!

It was the first cold morning of the season...what a great day for a pumpkin patch!

Owen truly believed he was going to lift this pumpkin

At the pumpkin patch there was candy out for the kids...my kids have never had candy so this was a treat for them...I think Owen had 5 pixie sticks :)

Olivia with her candy and pink balloon dog

There was a classic car show and sale at the train station when we were waiting to get on the train...Olivia LOVED all the cars!

A picture of us!!!! it's been a long time...

More Pumpkin Patch and Train Ride.....

This is what the train pulls up to...a pumpkin patch with farmer's dressed in "farmer outfits" and there was animals to pet, balloon animal making, candy, and face painting. Everyone got to take a pumpkin home.

Owen and a miniature horse. Owen gave him lots of love

Family picture with Farmer Brown

It's getting very hard to get a picture of them together...

Olivia was very adamant about getting her face painted, we waited in line for about 10 minutes and she was VERY patient, the last one to get it done before the train took off for the return ride to Eustis. Olivia was so happy they had a pink butterfly to paint on. The lady even put special sparkles on the butterfly wings!

My little pumpkins

I am nominating Owen for class clown :) Always doing funny things to make everyone laugh and smile!

Every night, Olivia asks me "I want to be a big girl and use a pen Mommy please?"

She loves drawing with pens, so I let her every night after Owen goes to bed, it is her "special" thing to do before bed.

Princess Party #2

2nd Birthday party of the weekend!  Georgia (the birthday girl) had 3 princesses at her party (they were her aunt's who decided to dress up like Ariel, Snow White and Cinderella!)

They helped the kids decorate wands, color princess themed drawings, play games, gave the kids tattoos, danced,etc....

Those girls deserve medals!!!

Decorating pirate and princess things...

Olivia and Snow White!

This has to be my favorite picture!!! Owen was in love!!! Look at his face! The princesses were in love with him too, they wouldn't stop talking about what a handsome prince he was :)

Cinderella gave Owen a castle tattoo

Olivia got a butterfly tattoo.

The kids had a great time this weekend and had cake for dinner two nights in a row :)

Olivia keeps asking me when the next Princess party is....every 10 minutes :)

Princess Party #1

2 girls in the Mom's group turned 3 this weekend and each had a Princess Themed Party.  Of course, Owen and Olivia had to have the outfits to attend in!

The party was outside and it was 90 degrees, so the costumes came off pretty quick!

It was make your own crown and wand activities for the girls.

And make your own sword for the boys!

We also received a Disney Princess CD which is now in the car and cannot be removed because Olivia will cry :)

Gymnastics!

Owen is not longer a spectator on the sidelines at gymnastics, he is now in the Daddy/Mommy and Me with Bill and Olivia is in the 3 year olds class.

I'm going to Gymnastics!!!!

My two gymnasts!

Owen got an award in the mail for "awesome bars on the obstacle course!" He was so proud!

We were too, he is really strong and can hang on the bars for a long time!

Olivia with her first ribbon award.  All the kids got to stand on the platform and receive a ribbon.

Owen too!
