Misc October Pictures

I know I recently did a "catching up" post so excuse me if I accidently put some of the same pictures in this post as well.  But here are the misc pictures from October that don't warrent a whole post. 

 

We had a couple extra minutes before church one Sunday so we posted for some pictures.  Aren't they just adorable! 

 



Here is the healthy snack I made for Bumpkin's birthday at school.  I made something similar last year (it was a ladybug) and she requested it again.  

Mimi has recently started loving babies.

 Craft time as a family

 



 

Parents week at Barbara's Dance

 

Grocery shopping - Mimi's first time in the car.  She loved it and sat there the whole trip

 

 

 

Mimi discovered the fun of goggles

 



 

Troublemaker made this space helmet at preschool

 

Troublemakers school treat.  She thought it was hilarious

 

Mimi eating yogurt all by herself.  We have discovered she eats better if she does it.  Ugh.  There was yogurt on the door, back of the chairs, floor, dogs fur, and her sisters hair, but she slept all through the night.  

 

 

 

Bumpkin's 6th Birthday Celebration

Bumpkin's birthday celebration was tons of work but tons of fun too.  We have about 25 kids and a lot of their parents so the house was packed but everyone seemed to have a good time.  We started with games; throwing the pumpkin ball into the pumpkin mouth and searching for eyeballs in the livingroom.  Then we moved on to presents followed by food and cake.  And finally, we went downstairs for the "Haunted Ship". I think the pictures are pretty self-explanatory. 

 

 

That's all folk!  haha

 

Ren Fest 2012

Each year during the weekends in the end of the summer/beginning of fall, Kansas City has a Renaissance Festival.  Last year we went for the first time and if I can find some pictures of us there last year I will try to get those up.  We also went this year and had a blast.  It amazes me how big it is and all the activities they have to do for both kids and adults.  Even going there a whole day you can't get everything accomplished.  I wish the fall wasn't so busy so we could dedicate a whole weekend.  Maybe next year?

The girls loved the Mermaid.  Unfortunately the line was so long (she was new this year) so they were shoo-ing people along and we didn't get any pictures.  However, they gave all the kids jewels that both of the girls protected with all their being.  In fact, I am sure it is still in Troublemaker's special drawer.

We also got the opportunity to met the Queen, the Princess, and their Royal Court multiple times.  Last year we didn't even see them but these year we got to talk to them for quite awhile and then we also saw them later in the day when the Queen turned Bumpkin and Troublemaker into Ladies of the Court.

Another exciting part was watching the jousting.  I think that is pretty self-explanatory but the girls really enjoyed the show.

Here are some other fun parts of Ren Fest 2012. 

This was Mimi before we even got into the interstate.
