This month I took the kids to the Flower Mound pumpkin patch with my sister and Rylie, instead of going to the Arboretum as we usually do. It was great! We picked out two giant pumpkins and two little ones, and the kids loved the bouncy houses, playground, maze, etc. A few weeks later, the whole family went out to a different pumpkin patch in McKinney with the Manktelow family. This one had horses, and Lily was SO EXCITED to ride a pony! We had a wonderful family day.
Frankie has been playing baseball, and we are loving it. He is….not hating it, so it is huge step up from soccer. But I wouldn't say he loves it. He has two friends on his team, and I know he likes going to practice and games, but he is not asking us to play constantly or anything like that. He does great batting, but he gets bored and distracted out in the field. I am hoping he will grow to love it, because we are really enjoying watching his team play! He was awarded the game ball in his second game, and we were all so excited and proud of him!
A few weeks ago we spent the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge with the Davis family to celebrate Frank and Bennett turning 5! The kids had a blast. The boys and their dads arrived on Saturday around 1:00 p.m. and played their hearts out in the water park. We met up with them around 4 after the little ones' naps, and then we all ate pizza and cupcakes together in our room and watched the Aggie game. Our room had a "wolf den" area with bunk beds and a TV for the kids, and they loved it! Although our family got no sleep --Lily refused to sleep in the bunk bed, and she woke up several times at night crying and having a really hard time going back to sleep. We were all very exhausted the next day, but thank goodness for the Starbucks inside the hotel! We spent the next morning at the water park again, and then decided to head home for lunch and naps. The kids slept so hard, but we woke them up around 5 and headed back up to the hotel for more water park, dinner, and ice cream. We ended up staying until 9:00 p.m., and we caught story time with the wolves, which both kids loved. The hotel was pricey, but it was a really fun little stay cation for the kids and it was great to spend some time with the Davis family.
This last weekend was Halloween! My parents came in town, and it was great to spend some time with them. They manned our house while Frank and I took Frankie and Lily trick-or-treating with Allison and Rylie. Frankie dressed up as a firefighter and Lily was Elsa. They both were so cute running up to the houses and yelling "trick or treat!" Our neighborhood does not get many trick or treaters, so most of the houses handed out huge handfuls of candy to our kids. Several of the houses gave out full size candy, and a couple even gave out large bags with tons of candy inside. It was nuts! We also bought way too much candy, so now we are stuck with enough candy to last us for at least a year.
