October Fun

October is one of my favorite months. It cools off outside and there are so many fun fall things to do! Here's the highlights from our busy weekend:

On Friday, I had the Fall Festival at my school. Cam brought the kids up. Emmett is Fix-It Felix, and Susie was a Ghost (one of her many Halloween outfits. I guess being a girl = more outfit choices).  Emmett had a blast playing games, and he even won the cake walk on his first try! He was so proud of his cookies. He loved getting the candy and putting it in his "nail pouch." Susie got passed around like a hot potato!

Saturday morning, we stopped by the Walkertown Fall Festival. It's still not very big, but Emmett loved the bounce house and Susie always loves being outside!

After the festival, we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Maw Maw met us there to join in the fun. This was our first attempt at pictures of both kids where Emmett is holding Susie up. When Emmett got tired of pictures, he let go of Susie and she just slowly tipped over and face-planted. Good thing she's a tough girl! Can't wait to carve these pumpkins later!

Saturday night was Gigi's annual Chicken Stew with family and friends. It's always a great time (and great food!). Chicken Stew and Corn Hole are NC traditions that we never knew about, but we sure enjoy them! Emmett had fun playing corn hole (but by his rules - which apparently include sticking your head in the hole to find the bean bags!) I also included the picture of Emmett and Gigi because it shows off his new scowl that he uses when I pull out the camera!
