The month started off with a last minute spontaneous visit from my good friend Maria Rafalco and her sweet daughter Eliana. Maria and I used to work together and I miss her dearly, so I was pumped when she had a few free Delta tickets that she had to use before they expired. I quickly convinced her to come visit and we had a fun few days together catching up and letting the kids play. We hit up a playground, hung around the house and went to our old favorite restaurant, The Fickle Pickle. Davis and Eliana had fun playing, she could definitely hold her own with the big boys...
The weekend after Maria left, I had high hopes of making it to a pumpkin patch. Lance had promised a friend that he would help him move, so instead we just planned on going to a local biscuit restaurant and then I was going to drive Lance down to help his friend. We ran into our friends, The Nesmiths', and they were heading to a pumpkin patch and so generously invited my boys and I to join them. We took their offer and hijacked their family day. :) Unfortunately I was completely unprepared and my kids looked a little mismatched, but we had a great time anyway! Harrison wanted the biggest pumpkin that he could find...
Davis and James had fun on the swings and Mary was such a big helper, pushing Davis for me!
Since Lance had been gone a lot recently, we made sure to take a family day down to Stone Mountain's halloween festival.
The boys had a blast and I think the ropes course was the highlight of the day for Harrison!
I couldn't believe how well Harrison did with these obstacles, especially this one...
He also love swinging across the zipline! I think he did this one 6-7 times!
Davis had fun here for a few minutes...
The kids also did a scavenger hunt, played in a big sandbox, and played in the Great Barn.
Harrison's tennis lessons started back up and he has been doing great at learning to play this sport! He can whop that ball across the net! This video isn't all that great, but you can see him hit it...
We also made a trip to Tuscaloosa for the Homecoming game. We had a bunch of family in town for the game so it was such a fun weekend!
We got to Tuscaloosa just in time for the bonfire on Friday night. Trey had come down with pnemonia, so he had to sit it out, but Jack, Harrison and Davis had fun playing football on the quad, chasing each other, and watching the big fire. Both of mine were a little frightened by the enormous flame, but had fun nonetheless!
Sweet cousins!
The next afternoon, we went out to watch the parade. Jack and Harrison loved it!
Davis had fun too, but had more fun with his balloon gun! The boys were dancing to the music from the parade so it was hard to catch a good picture!
Davis had fun playing with baby Isabela...
And since I stayed home during the game, I got some fun snuggle time with the princess!
Jack and Trey made sure to setup some comfy seats to watch the game and made sure to set one up for Harrison too.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of my Aunt Nancy, Uncle Kim, cousin Emily, mom & dad or Elizabeth!
Next up was Halloweeen!
I didn't get very many great pictures of this either, but we did have a great time! Our neighborhood always has a pizza party before trick or treating, so we went up for pizza, which the boys loved! They had fun playing on the neighborhood playground while we ate, and it took a lot of convincing them to leave! You would think getting candy would have had them running! Grandma and Granddaddy Randolph came to help out as well! Harrison spent most of the night running to the next house, while Davis insisted on riding in the wagon in between houses. I did get them to walk together for a few houses...
Come on, hold my hand big brother!!
It was a fun month, but just went by way too fast! We are getting a new camera for Christmas so hopefully next year will be better documented with non-blurry pictures!
