October festivities.

 I love autumn and the beauty it brings.
I love October.
I love Halloween and the festivities that come with it.

Decorating Pumpkins
Carving pumpkins is a bit messy with little ones so we tend to paint them or color them with markers instead.  Our girls love it though!  Although this time Aurora decided to try carving a pumpkin on her own.  It made me a bit nervous, but luckily Mommy & Daddy were there to supervise :)

After they were done with pumpkins, the girls took turns taking pictures of each other.

Halloween Sugar Cookies
Another night we baked up some sugar cookies, decorated them and delivered them to some friends and neighbors.  The girls had fun decorating a few on their own and then Darwin and I finished up the rest after they fell asleep.
Happy girl, Savannah, enjoying a yummy cookie!

This girl makes me smile!  I LOVE her genuine smile.  So precious!

Fun at Jaker's
One of our favorite things to do at Halloween time is to take the girls to our local pumpkin patch.  They LOVE it!  The biggest highlight for them both is the corn pit.  It's hard to get them out of it! :)

We finally got them out of the corn pit to see some other things around Jaker's.  Our girls climbing the haystack tower.

October 21, 2015 - Back to the Future Day!
If you're a Back to the Future fan, you know that October 21, 2015 is significant because it's the day Doc and Marty visit in the future.  That day came!  One of the assistant principals at Darwin's school is a huge BTTF fan and he even owns a Delorian.  Darwin got to ride in it to go to a conference in Park City a couple years ago.  The faculty at Darwin's school had a BTTF party and we all got the chance to sit in the Delorian. Good times :)
