Happy Halloween!

Addie was "Holly Golightly" ala Audrey Hepburnfor Halloween this year. This is absolutely my favorite costume she's had to date. It was posted on Pinterest, and luckily my friend Kera was crafty enough to figure out how to make it, then walk me through it. LOVE how it all turned out. (I had to add  long sleeve shirt and tights because it was cold out!)

Christian Way Farms Pumpkin Patch

Elias Foster (my sweet Godson) turned 3 on Halloween. To celebrate the occasion, he had his birthday party at Christian Way Farms Pumpkin Patch. We decided that since we would be driving through Huntsville to get there anyway, we should pick up some friends along the way. So, Christy, Elias, and Sawyer all made the trip to Kentucky with Addie and I! The Elias' have met a few times before, so it's always fun to get them together, and we needed to hit up a Pumpkin Patch this year, so it all worked out perfectly!

When we first drove up, we were greeted by Goats in Trees.

Addie and Elias checking out the farm animals.


Instead of sandboxes, they had giant old truck beds filled with corn to play with. To say they loved it would be an understatement.





One of the ladies who worked there asked if they wanted to feed the animals, of course they said yes. Then she informed them they needed to grab some corn, shuck it, then take that corn over and grind it, then scoop that in a bucket to feed the animals. Apparently they make you work for it here, ha. But, they LOVED it, and thought it was SO much fun!



(Elias realized quickly why KY farm boys don't wear ties. Hahaha)






They also loved the pumpkin patch version of a "Train".

Addie of course found the pink shovel first thing.

Sweet Jude was there!

Silly girls.

My favorite almost 3 year old boy.

Elias wasn't amused that he was having to push Addie on the bike. Ha.

 We had SO much fun (minus the CRAZY bee stings Christy got!), and I'm SO happy we got to celebrate Elias' birthday with him!
