GETTIN' IN THE SPIRIT!!!!

 

YES, WE CARVED! YES, WE BAKED! AND YES, WE PATCHED!!!!

My Lil’ Chef channeling Nana…

We walked to a local pumpkin patch and it was DARLING!

Ace and I spent at least an hour watching Bo travel the patch and fill his wagon with Pumpkins.

He dragged it ALL THE WAY to the front where you buy them. This kid is a determined, hard-working boy just like his Daddy (or Momma if it concerns planning vacations.)

Ok, this must be talked about. Bo dragged each tractor about 200 feet and placed them next to each other in this exact position! And he said, “Where’s Kendall?”

Kendall is Bo’s friend who turns 2 in a few weeks. I explained to him that we will see her tonight! He can’t stand her:

Bo and Momma HEART HALLOWEEEEEN!!!

Sorry, Kid, but we all have to move on and get ready for the next Holiday and believe me, if you thought October was fun, just wait for December!

(Stay tuned for Bo’s Lightning McQueen debut on Halloween!)

Mike n’ Molly: We miss you!

 

Beautiful, Loveable, Silly Auntie Molly + Beautiful, Loveable, Silly Uncle Mike =

A VERY, VERY HAPPY ARGENAL HOUSEHOLD!

Bo had SO MUCH FUN with his “best buddy!”

And I had a fabulous time with one of my BESTIES!

Please come back soon…Bo might sink into a deep depression soon. : )

Mike n' Molly and Muir Woods!

Ace and Reece got to experience their first hike at the BEAUTIFUL Muir Woods, and Bo found a new best friend in Molly’s Mike.

Mike was the PERFECT hiking buddy for Bo (who doesn’t love a free shoulder ride?) Bo literally can’t stop talking about his “best buddy”.

The hike was GORGEOUS and peaceful for us and a whole new world for Bo to investigate.  Auntie Molly and Mike were on a banana slug hunt and once they found the first one, we realized they were everywhere…just camouflaged!

Ace and Reece had few complaints, the weather was perfect and it was just an overall fantastic day with my fam! 

We stopped in Sausalito on the way home and ate at Horizon’s right on the bay. GA-GA-GORGEOUS! Mimi gave me a break from the Ace-harness (a 15 lb. 2 month old is HEAVY!), so I could try to contain my EXHAUSTED toddler.

It was beautiful ending to a beautiful day and the 2 hour drive home was perfection…

Ok, the last part is a LIE! My “perfect” baby, Ace, serenaded us the ENTIRE way home with his screech owl screaming and this is NOT an exaggeration, he fell asleep when we pulled in the driveway. Such a comedian.

Turner Pack at the Patch!

 

Every single Turner, offspring and all, went to Bishop’s Pumpkin patch on the “BUSIEST DAY IN HISTORY.” 

Even though I waited 35 minutes for a slice of  cheese pizza, which Bo didn’t even eat (shocker!) and I could barely keep track of my own thoughts, let alone my two children, I still had a fabulous time. Well, at least the pictures afterwards look like I did. But hey, when is a visit to a pumpkin patch EVER about the parents (except when it includes a babysitter, corn maze and lots of beer)?

It was so fun to see all the Turners and try to keep track of them, with all the HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of crazed kids running around with their dazed parents trailing after them.

 

Even with all the helping hands, when I’m without Gus, it’s truly DAUNTING to have complete conversations and not lose my children. One of them doesn’t even walk yet!

Ace has never been to pumpkin patch before so you can’t blame him for eating the first one he found.

The kids had a FABULOUS time and Bo absolutely fell in love with pumpkins…so much so that there were a few tiny stowaways in my diaper bag! 

If you plan to go, go on a WEEKDAY and you MUST buy the apple juice. Makes it worth the trip on the “BUSIEST DAY IN HISTORY”…well, almost worth the trip. : )

OctoberFEST, Part 2

The Turner Sisters also came to meet the newest Argenal this past weekend and Bo and Ace were LOVING it. Friday night was a perfect welcoming party for Molls and Natels and we got to spend time with Nat’s best friends from high school.

A few margarita’s later…

Yes, they are wearing THE EXACT SAME SHIRT!

Ace got tons of Auntie Love!

He still only has one priority…pretty sure I don’t need to spell it out but yes, it’s…still E.A.T.I.N.G

Saturday morning was the Hot Pink 5k in Roseville, but due to some RIDICULOUS stroller follies, Colleen and I had to wait it out on the sidelines and cheer the Turner Team on! I also had to take care of Ace’s #1 priority…

Little Dyl was in “pink” performance that day!

 

Molls was the first Turn-girl to pop up…

Yes, that is me fake running with them, but the other three Turner’s deserve the 5k credit.

Next up, PUMPKIN PATCH!
