Happy Harvest

I've written before about the neighbor that puts out their Allis Chalmers tractor every year in the Fall. We drive by it every day on the way to school and Maya and Cora always say "there's the tractor." We haven't taken a picture by it for the last few years but Sunday it was so nice outside we went for a walk around the neighborhood and decided to stop and take a pic by the tractor.

Maya being a goof ball and Cora wasn't so sure about sitting on the hay.

I was having the girls say "happy harvest" and here they are right in the middle of saying it.

Here is a post I did a few years ago if you want to see how tiny Maya looks when we first took a pic on the tractor...you can click on the link below.  Happy Harvest!

Sandy

Like I mentioned a few weeks ago we have several one hour time slots to kill each week after we drop Maya off at school and before our morning activities start. We've added a new store to our weekly routine and it's Meijer. Meijer opened up at the end of the summer and it's close to Maya's school and our church. For those of you that don't know what Meijer is it's pretty much just like Target only it has a bigger grocery section and their prices are suppose to be cheaper. And at Meijer they have "Sandy" a ride on horse that costs a penny. Yes for one cent you can take a little horsey ride at Meijer! Who says you can't buy anything for a penny these days?

Here is Cora's first ride on Sandy. She wasn't quite sure about the horsey.

Oh and look what we found at Walmart last week. A ride on Mickey Mouse! She likes driving Mickey much better than riding Sandy. But let me just say that Mickey costs a lot more than a penny.

Playing in the Leaves

We've had a great Fall and I think our nice warm sunny weather is coming to an end soon.
We've had lots of afternoons playing outside after school and "raking" leaves. We don't have a single tree in our yard so you would think we wouldn't have very many leaves to rake. But for some reason we always seem to have a lot that end up in our yard. The girls love raking a little pile and jumping into the leaves. What a fun Fall activity!

P.S. We have a 2 year old that is getting her 2 year molars and is chewing on anything and everything. Hence the new born baby paci in all the pics. I don't even know where she got this thing from. This isn't even her normal paci. It's also impacting all our sleep. Lets hope they all come in quickly!

Halloween 2015

Halloween 2015 was cold, rainy, & raw! But we were troopers and went out for about 40 minutes. This was the first year that I've lived here that West Allis actually had trick or treat on Halloween. There weren't very many houses that had their light on in our neighborhood but we did just enough that the girls' buckets were quite full by the time we made it back home. They spent the last hour handing out candy and honestly I think they had more fun doing that.

Maya wanted to be a mouse this year

Cora was a little pumpkin. She started out walking but didn't like the cold rain.

Cora really had it made. She had daddy pushing her around and her big sister 

getting all her candy for her.

The White family was visiting this weekend and it was so fun to trick or treat with friends!

Here they are all four of them...the mouse, Darth Vader, the pumpkin, & Stormtrooper

And what would Halloween be without jack o' lanterns?

Maya wanted a scary face and Cora opted for a goofy one.

Linder's Farm

Last weekend we decided to head to a little pumpkin farm that is close to our house.  It's pretty understated and very reasonable compared to the other pumpkin farms in the area. We were all going a little stir crazy and needed to get outside of the house so this was the perfect Fall activity for us.

Maya loved the giant slide but Cora wasn't too fond of it.

There was a little track to ride little bikes, tractors, and old cars around. There was a little gas station where they could stop and fill up the cars and Cora loved "going to get gas."

There was also a little petting animals area and a corn maze that we did. It was a chilly day but it was so good to get out and have a little Fall fun with the family. We skipped last year so the last time we had gone to Lindner's farm Cora was just 10 weeks old. I think she looks so old standing here next to her big sister.
