Halloween Part 1





Last weekend we made our way to the pumpkin patch at Schnepf Farms (www.schnepffarms.com). The kids had a blast playing with all the pumpkins. We also rode the carousel, saw a pig race, rode the train, and visited the petting zoo. We decided to skip the corn maze since we didn’t think a huge double stroller could make it through all the corn stalks. This year, they created the maze in the shape of Muhammad Ali (a local resident of Phoenix).

This past weekend was super busy. Our friends Brenda and Aaron had their baby boy on Saturday morning. So, their daughter, Kayla, spent the night at our house Friday night. She’s Noah’s age, so they had fun playing together. We were delighted to return the favor since they watched Noah when Bella was born.
Noah started soccer lessons on Saturday. It’s really funny; all the kids basically run around and try to learn not to touch the soccer balls with their hands. They are just so tempted to pick up the balls and throw them in the nets. After soccer, Bella and Noah also started swim lessons. We thought it would a good idea considering we have a pool now. They really enjoyed the swim lessons. We had to drag them out of the pool to leave. Bella was in the infant class and Noah was in the toddler class.
The last big event of this past weekend was a Halloween costume contest at Superstition Springs Mall. Both of the kids looked very cute. Unfortunately, Bella didn’t win, but Noah claimed the 3rd place prize. Not too shabby considering there were about 35 kids in each age category. We will make sure they both win next year
