Sorry, house and children duties call for pidgin posts these days, no time for lovely full-sentence explanations and captions. This is what we’ve been up to in October!

So excited to see turtles at Three Lakes Park!

So typical Natalie…dressing up her animals in her clothes

At Jacob’s work dinner, themed Mask of Zorro

Hazel’s first bike ride!

To the library by bike because car broke down

Giant dragon caterpillars of death! We tried to keep one in a jar more than once but we are the caterpillar-keepers of death, apparently

Yay she let me do a ponytail!

playing in her “castle”

along our trick-or-treating route

So excited to have cousin Julia in town! And I loved how Natalie loved having Julia help her get dressed, brush teeth, etc 🙂

only wanted to be with Elmo at ward trunk-or-treat

didn’t care much for the photo op

didn’t want to stick her hands in, but was proud of spooning out a seed or two

proof that all the grandkids were together

Short Pump mall has these cool fountains

the only place I’ve seen Hazel sit still for more than 3 seconds…Children’s Museum at short pump

Natalie wasn’t in a bad mood, just didn’t want to smile, I guess

I was so pumped to finally go hiking in Shenandoah National Park!

our hiking buddies the Engstroms

at the farewell party of a missionary

has this thing about socks lately…lots of socks

these are all the ones she had on her feet

love autumn time and playing in leaves!

trick-or-treating at Carytown

out to pick pumpkins at the pumpkin patch!

It is super dee dooper that all five cousins were able to get together in such cozy quarters for a weekend.
Did the parents survive?
YEA that both Natalie and Hazel were willing to pose for Halloween photos. Their costumes are really cute . I must say that Hazel makes a Happy Pumpkin too. Did they have fun at the trick or treating party?
Isn’t autumn time fun with smaller children for leaf collecting and jumping in piles, dressing up, and going on hikes?
