A Very Nolan Halloween!

We were so busy during Halloween this year, I was exhausted by the time it was all over! Cora had preschool on Halloween day, so she had a party. She was so excited for everything that she couldn't nap. Then we went to a little girl's house in our neighborhood that is in Cora's preschool class and had a party over there. And then we finally made it to the Nolan household. Needless to say we had a very tired Snow White by the end of the night! The Nolans party hard on Halloween, I love it! Of course Snow White Cora had a blast, and Joshua slept basically the whole time. He was a tired poisonous apple! All in all we had a wonderful Halloween and it's crazy to think next year Joshua will be going from house to house too!

Cora insisted that Lena needed to be dressed up for Halloween this year!

So excited!

My beautiful Snow White!

All ready to eat at Grammy's!

Ready to go out and trick or treat!

My sleepy apple...

Party at the Nolan's!

The two loves of my life!

Halloween - Part I

Pop and Nana's neighborhood holds a little Halloween parade with trick-or-treating every year! We went last year and had so much fun! So we were excited to go again this year! Cora loves the movie Snow White and we probably watch it once a day! She is such a perfect Snow White because of her skin tone and red lips! The four grandchildren were absolutely adorable trick-or-treating (well Joshua really didn't participate)! Good thing Nana and Pop moved to the Parke....we love the annual Parke Parade!!

Getting ready for the parade!

The four cousins!

Joshua the Poisonous Apple, Ellie the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, & Snow White!

The girls!

The boy! :)

Checking out what's going on!

I didn't make it to the parade because I was feeding Joshua, so I don't know what really went on! Ellie does look upset though!

Don't know what's going on in this picture?!

1st stop!

Perfect weather! It was an unusually warm night!

Tired Lion!

Ending the night in the wagon!

2 months old!

Sweet Joshua was 2 months old on October 24th! Hard to imagine!! My sweet boy coos all the time and loves to smile! He does great with tummy time too! If you get his attention really well, he will smile and laugh at you for a long time. We just love his little smile and laugh! At 2 months, Joshua weighs 13lbs 9 oz, and is 24 inches long! He is in the 92 percentile for his weight and 90th for his height! Once again, I have a tall child!

2 months old!

Such a happy boy!

Carving Pumpkins!

This year was the first year we actually carved a pumpkin! Cora had so much fun, and so did her daddy! After carving, she had to put some hello kitty stickers on it...Cora style!

So excited!

Cleaning out the pumpkin!

So sweet:)

Of course finishing it off with some hello killy stickers!

Carter's Mountain!

This was the second year we have gone apple picking at Carter's Mountain! We love to go now every year. It is so beautiful up there and Cora loves to run around and pick apples! We also love the apple donuts:) This year we went as a big group. Nana and Pop went along with the McGuire family, the Shaeffer's, the Kelly's, and John and Lily Meehan! It was a big group but we had so much fun!! Taking Joshua was a challenge, but it worked out well! As usual, he was a good boy!
