We had a great halloween weekend. We spent our time in San Diego and enjoyed

 much needed fun and relaxing quality time. We waited the entire weekend for Simone

to go into labor...she has yet to pop....but it made it kinda fun and exciting. 

The girls got an early start on their trick-or-treating. We were hoping to avoid the 

whole scary aspect of the night...or as chloe calls it "the evils". I think

we surprised a few neighbors with our early knocks on the door...but the girls were

just too cute to turn away. They didn't want the evening to end...especially barth.

yes, barth has to dress up every year too

buns in the ovens

belly shot at 38 & 27 weeks...we are waiting for you alexa!!

happy carving

we enjoyed a night of pumpkin carving this last week. ella had a great time

scooping the seeds out and sketching on various sheets of paper the perfect

pumpkin face. chloe on the other hand did much better watching. she

was not about to dip her hand into that gooey mess. no thank you she said.

happy halloween!!

the night ended with popcorn and charlie brown great pumpkin...a definite treat.

the patch

we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. i had been hoping to avoid the infamous

"pumpking parking lots" of southern california. we had to make a bit of

a drive, but you can be sure that every mile was worth it. the rain decided

to give us a break for the day...it turned out to be perfect. it felt like a

true fall day (much better compared to last years temps of 90 degrees).

the girls had the best time ever and enjoyed carefully selecting their special pumpkins.

riley got one too. i loved seeing 5 pumpkins stacked up in our wagon.

like always....i went way overboard with the picture taking.

guess who's coming to dinner?

Poppa & Pink Gramma (barth's parents) are down for a visit this weekend.

we thought it would be fun to keep it a secret from the girls...i love surprises.

this morning we went to pick them up from their hotel.  it was easy to keep them

distracted during the drive being that this was barth's first weekend off in 4 weeks.

they were simply happy (4 the time being) to have daddy and their starbucks.

once our surprise visitors were spotted there was no stopping the girls.

♥ ready 4 a fun-filled weekend ♥
