Which pumpkin should I choose?

Hudson liked this one

Hudson loved looking at the pumpkins

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with the kids. It was a great day with perfect weather. They had a petting zoo, play area, fort, train ride, wagon rides and much more. We took the wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch. Where the kids were able to pick out a pumpkin. As you can see from the many pictures we had a lot of fun.

I took Ella to the Princess Party again but this year we invited my cousin Amber and her little girl Mya. They watched a Princess concert, saw a Magic show, made bracelets, made crowns, decorated cookies,had their face painted and got their nails painted. The girls had so much fun at the party but it made us moms think we needed a day of pampering for ourselves.

Too Much Fun?

After the Princess Party Amber and Mya spent the night at our house since John was in Chicago. The girls had fun sleeping in a Princess tent in Ella's room. Which they had so much fun they had almost all of Ella's toys in the tent with them and didn't fall asleep until after 11 p.m. Then the next day the girls had fun running around outside and Hudson enjoyed watching them. Ella was so exhausted she was in bed and asleep before 7 p.m. She had a fun but busy weekend.

It's Shear Madness!

Ella's "First" Haircut

Before her haircut

After her haircut

We took Ella finally for her "first" haircut after 3 1/2 years. My mom actually cut her hair without my knowing. So technically this would be her second haircut but this is the first one that John & I saw. We took her to a cute place called Shear Madness. They have different cars and planes that the kids can sit in while getting their haircut. Ella of course chose the Cinderella Car. Also while getting their haircut they can watch a DVD. Which Ella chose too watch Barbie Princess & the Pauper. We didn't get much cut off because I don't want too lose those cute curls. It was a great and fun "first" (technically second) haircut.

Soccer Tots

Well we tried Ella in Soccer again. She did a lot better this time not being scared of the ball and she was one of the younger kids there out of 30. After we left we asked what she liked best gymnastics, dance or soccer and she said soccer. So maybe she we will be a soccer player instead of a dancer.

Human Foosball

Hudson loves kicking the soccer ball especially when Daddy is using him as a human foosball.
