Dress Up Days of October

The weather is very cool, leaves are covering the yard, Troy is working constantly...it must be October! With Troy working at least six days a week for six out of the last eight weeks the kids and I will welcome November and having him home with us again!

Today while Troy was working away the kids and I decided to go to Pumpkinfest on the square where all the businesses pass out candy. We didn't buy costumes this year because we have church tomorrow night so the kids had to scrounge through our vast array of costumes from years past. We have two bins full of dress up clothes, however, they are mostly too small for the kids now. They came up with some things to wear though and we met up with some friends and had a good time amidst a huge crowd of little trick or treaters! We stopped for free hot dogs and entertainment by a local band and entered to win door prizes. Siara's name was drawn for a $15 gift card! 

A few days ago the boys gave themselves fauxhawks for fun. Later on Siara decided she wanted to try some crazy braids so we did one that went all the way around her head! I did not make it up...it is in a book of braids she has and this one is the hippie chick braid! I hope you enjoy all of their dress up pictures!

Fall Break, Family & Field Trip Fun!

It has been a busy couple of weeks for this Sadler family! We spent our fall break in Tennessee last week and enjoyed a visit from G-daddy this week and our first homeschool field trip! Our Tennessee trip was full of fun things. The boys (except for Troy - he had to stay behind and work) got to go golfing with G-daddy on a real golf course. It was Hayden's second time and Keaton's first. I hear they did well but I must remember to send a camera next time because I would love to see them all in action. While they were having a great time, Siara and I went to get my hair cut. It was long overdue and we got to visit with a sweet friend while getting it cut. After leaving G-daddy's we were able to have dinner at Ma & Papa's and visit for awhile. It was so good to see them; however, it was very short. Next trip will be their turn for a longer visit! Then, we were on our way to Nana's. Waiting for the kids was a fun surprise - a go-kart! Fortunately, it had been fixed so that it could not go too fast because Hayden could not resist the speed. The kids loved it and we had a nice cookout after lots of riding. The kids also like playing with the newest edition to Nana and Mr. Ray's home - a kitten. I'm sure it was glad to see them go and be able to get some rest!


On Wednesday, G-daddy came up for a visit to our house. Troy was off and able to enjoy having company! The boys went golfing while Siara and I had some girl time. We don't do that very often so it was a wonderful treat! That night Troy and I even had some time for grown-up conversations with my dad after the kids went to bed. Another thing we don't get much of!

The next day G-daddy left bright and early (well...the first time anyways :) ) and the kids and I had our first homeschool field trip to Huber's Orchard & Winery. It was such a neat place and the kids had a blast. I would love to go again as a family. There were so many things to do after we took the tour...corn maze, bamboo maze, rope maze, playground, tricyle track, mountain slides, animals and of course the farmer's market colorfully decorated with all types of fall goodies. I hope you enjoy the pictures from our recent adventures! Happy Fall! :)
