October Recap, before all the Halloweening begins

I feel like every blog post starts the same... "I can't believe how quickly time is passing," but it is SO true.  October has flown by, so here's a quick review in pics before "Halloween week" starts on Sunday with Trunk or Treat.  We are loving the cooler weather and have literally been going to the zoo almost weekly!  This month we also squeezed in a couple of bday parties for E's friends, a trip to Slapout, a trip to the lake, the airplane museum, lots of library visits, Saturday soccer games, and we have a growing collection of pumpkins... Enjoying every day with these sweet boys!

E "reading" to C

C mostly content to ride at the zoo

as long as he gets out every so often...

Not sure about the giraffes..

But loves the bears!

C was more into the Cowboy bday party than E...

I  mentioned that he likes hats, right

Trying to convince the big boys to share their treats...

Library fun

E loves playing with the snapdragon blooms

and C LOVES the stairs...

Snuggling at Mem Mem and Bop Bop's

E likes a hat occasionally...

Choosing pumpkins, to benefit a friend's adoption

Soccer vs. playing in the rocks...

Or with the flag

Just so long as there is snack afterwards...

The little brothers like soccer too!

The after-game tunnel run is also fun

But snack is clearly the best!
