Halloween

We had a great Halloween. We went to the trunk-or-treat where we had refreshments, a family photo area, and the trunk or treat. It was a lot of fun. After the trunk or treat we went trick-or-treating with some friends from our ward and then stopped at grandpa and grandma's house to show off the costumes. Tyson makes a great batman and Mom and Eliza make pretty cats. (Ty was going to be a fireman until his best friend borrowed him this batman costume so they both could be batman)

Batman Buddies!

Eliza's New Girly Room!

I have been wanting to change Eliza's room for quite a while now. When I was pregnant and we found out Eliza was a girl we were still living in a two bedroom apartment. Because of this, I wanted to try and find some type of bedding that was quite neutral since both Ty and Eliza would be sharing a room. So I found a really cute polka dot set that was green, yellow, and orange. Well shortly after Eliza was born we moved into this three bedroom apartment in which each child now has their own room. Eliza still used the same bedding set that I had gotten and I never felt it was right for her (especially since she is such a girly-girl) and was never really happy about her room decor.  I have always wanted for Eliza to have a girly room ever since we moved here and I finally just took the plunge and redid it. I just went and got a set of pink sheets, changed how I displayed her name, made a new sign for above the window ("Sugar and Spice and everything nice thats what little girls are made of"), I found this pink curtain at DI (I thought it was two panels when I bought it but when I got it home I realized it was only 1 but I think it works all right), I bought some fabric and ribbon and changed the board that has her bows on it, I found the cute lantern balls at the party store, I bought the shelving and drawers at Target, and I found the lamp at DI and just added the ruffles to the lampshade.(Opinions:should I paint the base of the lamp pink or leave it white?)  It was a fun little project. And it makes me really happy when I go in there now and I think it makes Eliza happy too.

Mainstreet trick-or-treating/Firetruck

Mike took Tyson trick-or-treating down mainstreet. He said that was fun but the highlight of the whole day was being able to get in the firetruck. For Tyson that is so exciting because he is in love with everything firetruck lately. He is constantly dressing up as a fireman and playing fireman. So he was absoultely enthralled. Everytime we pass the fire station now he tells me all about playing in the firetruck. What a cute little batman.

Pumpkin Day

We had our annual Eppich family pumpkin day. We met up and headed straight over to the pumpkin patch. We first looked at the animals in the petting zoo...

 

...watched the kids play in the corn and mazes...

 

 

 

 

...went on a hayride around the pumpkin patch and to see the barn animals...

 

 

...picked out the perfect pumpkins (the rule was you had to be able to carry your own pumpkin; however, Ty kept saying I just want a big one... a really big one)...

 

 

...took some family pictures with our pumpkins...

 

 

 

 

...went back to granpa and grandma's and painted/carved (or both) our pumpkins...
