Trick or Treat

Today was a busy day! We went to a Halloween parade in nearby Springtown, PA. It was a lot of fun! We got to sit right across from the judging, so we got a good seat. The kids ended up getting alot of candy too...to start out the candy receiving!

Later, we got all dressed up in our costumes and prepared to go trick-or-treating! We started out in the daylight, but it quickly turned to night. There were lots of houses all decorated in scary fare, perfect for Halloween night.



the cutest clown EVER!

Daisy Girl Scouts

We now have a Daisy Girl Scout in the family! Bring on the cookies!



Whitney was so happy to be able to join Girl Scouts this year. They had their Investiture (pinning ceremony) tonight. She received her Daisy vest, and her two Girl Scout pins.





She was chosen as one of the flag bearers for the ceremony, which is a great honor. Whitney did a WONDERFUL job!



After the meal and the flag ceremony, the new Daisys served their family cake and ice cream to celebrate Girl Scout founder, Juliette Low's birthday!


It was a great day!

Cupcake bites

Mmmmm...YUMMM!!!



These are cupcake bites. They are chocolate cake mixed with chocolate frosting on the inside with a hard candy melt exterior...designed to look like cupcakes!



Beautiful, delicious! They were inspired by this blog..this baker... I bought her book, Cake Pops and I have not stopped looking at it! So many things to create! She is coming to my area next month for a book signing...CANNOT WAIT!

Pumpkin Patch and Corn maze

This Sunday we took the kids to a local farm that has a pumpkin patch and corn maze. We all had a good time walking through the maze and trying to find our way. Whitney insisted on being our walking leader most of the time! She did a pretty good job of leading us through, only running us into dead ends a few times! We then went to the pumpkin patch and picked out a couple of pumpkins to take home. The only requirement, was that they had to be big enough to carve a face into!

DORNEY PARK!!!

A couple of weeks ago Joe's company gave all the employees passes to Dorney Park..which is like Carowinds. It is really close by (only about 30 minutes) so we had been there in the summer. When we went in the summer it was really hot and we went to the waterpark too, but this time we took our time, there were no lines and it was a great fall day!
Look at all the cool rides we went on!!
