November 3, 2009 - Tanaka Farms and Halloween Fun (82 Weeks)

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

We took our cuties to Tanaka Farm which came highly recommended by my twin mom friend, Liz. This working farm was worth the hike out to Irvine. We got to go on a hayride, go through a corn maze, pick our own pumpkin, and feed the animals in the petting zoo. Kind of a treat for this city slicker :)
Halloween was more fun this year since the boys are walking. We dressed up the Blas brothers as the famous dynamic duo Batman and Robin. We didn't take them to do a traditional trick or treating. We stopped by my friend Cindy's house to trick-or-treat which they did from their carseat before going to Morningstar's Alternative Night for a little while. Their flyer respectfully requested no costumes. We realized we hadn't gotten a picture of them in their costumes, so we stopped in front of a home to snap a picture of them. We winded up having to trick-or-treat there since they opened the door. It was cute to see the boys run up the path to get their candy bag from the sweet lady at the door. Morningstar really outdid themselves with slides, pony rides, bouncers, game booths, music, and food. The boys were too young for the game booths and the unaccompanied pony ride, but they enjoyed the bouncer, getting a hand tatoo (Noah's Ark for Daniel), and balloons. The youth group's song is still stuck in my head:
Oh God is bigger than the boogie man/He's bigger than Godzilla and the monsters on t.V./Oh God is bigger than the boogie man/God is watching you and me!
Latest Ooh Aahs: Anthony waves with his palm inward, Daniel out of nowhere folded his hands, Anthony says "Do" (in response to my "Do not hit the dog.") and Daniel says "kee pee" (in response to my "Lucky, pee, pee!" when she needs to go out).
