It's Fall Time

Ok - so for a quick week in review:
1) Tuesday - We measured the kids for the first time in 5 months and they both had grown at least 2 inches. No wonder neither of them fit in anything (at least I have great hand-me-downs for Kara from our wonderful Aunt Nannie and her our cousins Kiersten & Aubrey). Jace on the other hand barely fits in his new jeans I just bought this summer! Time to do some more shopping.
2) Thursday - Kara earned a MOJO award at her school this week, so as very proud parents we attended the assembly where they honor all the MOJO winners for the school.
3) Friday - Pumpkin Patch - this year we just drove down the road to Picha's Pumpkin Patch. It was great - small, cute, no crowds! We loved it.
4) Saturday - Kara's 2nd soccer game - this time she played goalie one half and ran like a cheetah the second half. That girl LOVES to run. Nothing like me:-)
5) Saturday Halloween Parties - first stop was Aunt Nannies on Saturday followed by the annual LDS chili feed and hallway trick or treat with lots of fun games for the kids. To say the least Saturday was busy and the kids were tired by the days end.
5) Sunday carving pumpkins - unfortunately my battery went dead on the camera and the back-up was dead, too! Not good planning on my part!
A few other neat little tid-bits - we welcomed another cousin to the still-ever growing Marecle family. Taylor and Stephanie had their second child on Oct. 15 - Alexis Ann. She is gorgegous. Bryce is growing like a weed and I finally got his 6 month pictures taken. I have no idea his weight or anything as his 6 month appt. was rescheduled - my doctor got called in to jury duty (who knew?).
This is such a fun time of year. We are very excited to go trick or treating on Friday. I can't believe its going to be November!
