Fun Weekend

Last weekend was a work weekend for us. It was a beautiful day outside so we decided it was time to clean up the yard and get ready for winter. We picked all of our pumpkins and squash, we cleaned up the garden and got our lawn ready for winter. Ethan decided he wanted to try mowing the lawn. He could barely push the mower by himself, but he insisted because he wanted to earn some money. Mike had to help him push and stay straight. It was pretty cute. Ethan was very proud of himself and was having fun doing it. I think I may have a lawn mower for next year! Yaaay! Finally the kids can earn their keep around here!! Ha!

It was such a beautiful day, the kids thought they would get their swimsuits on and run through the sprinklers! I think it was only in the 60's, but I guess that felt warm enough to them! So, while Mike was blowing out our sprinklers, the kids ran through them. Craziness! They also thought they would practice their cart wheels also.


After all of that outside fun, the kids wanted to get the Halloween stuff out, finally. They couldn't wait to get all of the costumes out and try them all on. Ethan found Asia's witch tights and couldn't resist putting those on first. Hilarious!! We laughed pretty hard at that one!

Then they found the clown costumes and some costumes from a few years ago. They love to dress up. It kept us all entertained for the rest of the evening! Jacob just watched all of the craziness and wondered why everything was so funny! He laughed along with us anyway!
