happy halloweeeeen!

Cece & her friends Jack & Kieran were Doozers for halloween (at least at our happy haunting party yesterday):

being a doozer is EXHAUSTING!

here's a movie of our attempt to get a group shot of the babies in their helmets :)

happy halloween!

The Farrers were a family of monkeys. the costumes were nice and easy, and we spent the day driving around to visit everyone. I think next year we'll throw a costume party and let everyone come to us! how does that sound? :) it was good fun though, everyone enjoyed Cecelia, of course, and see seemed to enjoy herself too, she was pretty mellow the whole day. She must have been one tired monkey though, because she slept the whole night! Her first time doing that!

Since Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, Cecelia got dressed up a lot before the big day. :)

This one is still a little big at least.

check out this rockin candy band shirt! Swa-eeeet!

spontaneous stroll in the woods!

Saturday was perfect fall weather, so Andy, Cecelia & I decided to blow off cleaning the house and headed to Borderland State Park to go for a walk. We discovered that our stroller isn't really made for off roading, so it carried the diaper bag while Andy & I traded off carrying the girl.

Hoping it would be flatter, we ended up doing a longer loop than planned, but it was fun and we should do it more often, maybe with some better planning :)

taking a break halfway(ish)

Surprise!

Saturday we had a surprise party for Andy that Aunt Kristin & Uncle Chris were nice enough to host.

 I wish i had taken a picture of everyone standing on the lawn, Andy thought it was just the family so he was quite surprised! I have to admit I was quite pleased with myself for not giving it away.

here's Ce with her uncle matt enjoying the fresh air

 

here we are enjoying the fire pit

we spent the week before the party running around like crazy buying a new car! it was time to get rid of the ford which not only had no A/C but didn't have room for the squids car seat. double fail.

of course I documented the car buying experience.

all of this has left us wiped out:

and we've been trying to spend this week catching up on some much needed sleep.

apples & punmpkins & hayrides oh my!

We're very much looking forward to fall here in the Farrer Family Household. Temps dipped yesterday which meant Mom got to have a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks & Cecelia got to wear a cute fall outfit:
