Fall Catch Up!

Whew! I have to take a break in the Ireland world (which holy impressed… I can’t believe I have gotten as much caught up as I have- que round of applause!)

Lola was so excited to get home and honestly she just wanted to play with her toys and cuddle! She was SUCH a good cuddle bug the days following our return and every toy in the house was like a brand new toy!

IMG_4624 IMG_4653We missed this girl so much too!IMG_4766IMG_4767By Thursday we felt caught up enough to take Lola  out to her favorite park of all!  IMG_4654

This is also known as our guilty parenting pleasure… IMG_4657

No trip is complete without her trains!IMG_4659 …. and this may or may not have been our 5th time at Mexican since getting home 4 days prior (and yes that is a chicken nugget dipped in cheese dip)!IMG_4663     She also loved getting back to her gymnastics to see her other love, Ms. Brittany!IMG_4692 IMG_4694October is flying by so we decided to put our Halloween gear into overdrive which naturally means wear every pumpkin shirt we own, bake cookies and all things pumpkin flavored and go get ourselves some pumpkins!!

Best of all  Taytay was here to hell us with all of it!

IMG_4700 IMG_4708IMG_4716IMG_4721 IMG_4734IMG_4738   We had more sprinkles than we did cookies but it was SO fun for Lola and she was SO proud of herself!IMG_4770IMG_4772

Lola thought the best idea ever was to wipe her hands on me if she got flour on them… my entire (blue) shirt was white. IMG_4773IMG_4774

Miss picky has actually gotten a sweet tooth lately too- she loved the cookies! IMG_4784IMG_4787

Saturday it was time to test out the whole costume idea! IMG_4792I couldn’t believe (after seeing the “instructions” picture) she actually wanted to wear it all, complete with headband!   IMG_4807IMG_4879IMG_4808IMG_4814IMG_4820IMG_4821IMG_4825Those lips were extra pouty and I couldn’t get enough of them!      IMG_4827 IMG_4829 IMG_4835 IMG_4839 IMG_4845IMG_4846I died!!!  IMG_4850 IMG_4851IMG_4878Taytay is the queen of festival foods and taught Lola all about cotton candy!IMG_4860Poor Loa (and Lou) her costume didn’t fit in the carseat so each time we got  in and out of the car she had to take it off and then back on! I’m jut glad she was willing to keep it on!   She did better than I thought!20151017_190942    That night we had Mexican again….

IMG_4874 yup, that’s 6 if your counting…. we were busy chatting it up and watching the Clemson game when all of a sudden we saw Lola do  this…..

…..dear lord.

I could have sank in my seat!

This girl  gets me in so much trouble!

Last Sunday we had to do the “real” pumpkin thing…. We found the one that was not only animal friendly but also had the  most animal encounters to visit and we were sold!

I was so excited for about 2 minutes (when I yelled to  Lou, “turn around let’s bring Milly) and 2 minutes later I decided bringing Milly was the WORST idea ever… she cried the ENTIRE time I thought I was going to lose  my mind!

Thankfully we all survived and Milly LOVED it there!IMG_488420151018_180834 20151018_18093820151018_180944Lola loved the Llamas- but mama heard that they SPIT so this was as close as we got!!   20151018_181039 20151018_181918

Look at those two color coordinating! 20151018_182012

Family picture… if only our TJ was in it I think i would have it blown up and framed!20151018_182202 20151018_182237Love this one with our Taytay!  20151018_182257 IMG_5001   Lola loved getting to “walk” Milly!IMG_5003IMG_5002IMG_5003 IMG_5004 IMG_5005 20151018_19422420151018_194227

It was the perfect day and the weather couldn’t have been better! We had the best time picking out pumpkins (but lets be honest, taking pictures with the pumpkins), eating nice festival food (aka fried chicken and corn dogs), and we even  fed camels on a hay ride (because that’s normal right?)!20151018_20275020151018_202802    Lola  was less into the picture part and more into testing which pumpkin she was strong enough to pick up!20151018_202837  20151018_202924 20151018_202931 20151018_202950

Then it was hayride time! IMG_5007

Lola was so excited to feed the animals! IMG_4886IMG_4889IMG_4894Not exactly what you expect to see on a  hayride!    IMG_4895IMG_4901They were SO friendly and we even took selfies with them!  IMG_4903IMG_4907Well hi there…     IMG_4911IMG_4919 IMG_4921

Good thing daddy wasn’t able to join us on the hayride (he had to stay behind with Milly) but he would have NEVER let this fly!IMG_4924 IMG_4932

Sweet Lovers….
