A busy end to the month

Last weekend we headed to Marble Falls to go to the Pumpkinfest at Sweet Berry Farms. We all had a great time, with the only exception being the fact that it was 93 in the end of October. Crazy, but at least it is cool now. They had a ton of things to do there, some of them being things that you would not expect at a Pumpkinfest, like zinnia picking. We went on a hayride, made sand art, and fed the animals. We did not have our little family get together last weekend for Matthew's birthday because of logistics, but we did this weekend. Andy's parents were not able to come at the last minute due to tire problems, but we celebrated with my parents and our third set of "grandparents", Joe and Alice. Meagan picked out the monster themed partyware and Target made the cutest cake to go along with it.
Last night Andy and I had our awesome babysitter, Kelsey, come stay with the kids and we went to our friends' Halloween party. I found a fabulous late '80s-early'90s wedding gown at Goodwill. Andy wore his tuxedo that he bought in college, so we were perfectly matched. We had a great time.

Nati's 6th birthday party

Natalie is six!

Natalie had her sixth birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. I hate that place. However, she had been begging me to have her party there, so I gave in. She has always had either very small parties, or ones that were outside. A few kids came from her class and it was fun to meet them. Meagan was psyched to have Lexi there and Nati was so happy to have her Faith Montessori friends there. Apparently her birthday shirt was too big because it is hanging off of her in every photo! She is such a special child, so strong in many ways and extremely independent. Despite this, baby Jenny is still in the picture. We keep on waiting for Nati to get rid of her, but she keeps loving on that bizarre doll. Nati is doing great in Kindergarten and making lots of new friends. She has adjusted very well to my going back to work. She still adores Matthew and loves to do things for him.
