Mum Fest

Another weekend of beautiful fall weather.  As much as I would like for our little one to join our family, it was nice to be able to enjoy this beautiful weekend..not in the hospital :)  We decided to try to walk her out at the mum fest.  Baby never came, but we had a great time as a family of 4.  
The mums were beautiful!

Counting Down

We are getting so close to meeting our baby girl!  This weekend the kids made big brother/big sister countdown chains.  Here they are with 10 days left.  The rings help to make the closeness a reality for them...we are all so very excited!  
In the morning, our countdown will be 8 days.  Some days it felt like October would never get here..not it's hard to believe it's here already.  



A Day at the Pumpkin Farm

What a beautiful fall it has been so far!  We had a 5th quarter for the teens at the church a couple weekends back...my wonderful sister and her hubs kept our kids for a fun sleepover night.  The cousins enjoyed pizza and movie night together then we met up at the pumpkin farm for Saturday of fun.  


 The kids loved riding on this miniature train

 They would have played in the corn all day.

 Hannah's favorite part of the day was hands down the mini zip line...I think the smile says it all 




 There was so much for the kids to do!

My Little Construction Worker is 4!

Isaac has recently been fascinated with construction workers and their vehicles.  He was very excited about a Construction themed birthday party.  It was so much fun for both of us to plan!  
love the birthday banner?  Find the free printable here
I can't believe he's 4!!


 I think this was the easiest birthday cake I've done yet...and I love how it turned out :) 
 some of the construction treats...we had these along with pizza.  
Free printables make party planning so much easier....I'm thankful for other moms that share! For these printable food tags go here 





We started the party with books about constuction workers and construction vehicles.  
 Instead of games...we had construction worker centers outside.  I love that we can go out for parts of his birthday.  For four year old boys (and a preggo momma) this worked out perfectly!  





 The wrecking ball station was probably the favorite.  Here's Hannah carefully building a building to tear down...
 Mr. Eric helped build and re-build many buildings!  
 love the expectation on their faces here...
 sweet Abigail

 I love all the happiness in this picture!  



 Isaac's friends were so kind and generous to him.  He invited 4 friends (one for each year of life :))...and all boys.  He wanted this to be a BOYS party.  Here he is with each of his friends:  





So thankful for my sweet little boy!  What JOY he brings to our lives everyday!!!


Found several of my printable construction signs here.  I didn't get a picture of it, but Hannah and Isaac esp loved the porta potty sign on the bathroom door.
