Halloween

Well, A had a fever on Halloween, so we only trick or treated on our street but we got enough candy.  We watched "Nightmare Before Christmas" and ate rice crispy treats, popcorn and caramel apples at home for the rest of the evening.  Fun!

This year I decided to sew their costumes... I did it. One time. Never again.  I am proud of my work, but don't think I'll do it again :)

Here are some photos of the costumes taken by Beth over at ejrussell photography.

Pumpkin Hunting & Carving

 It's October and just like many other Americans, we have been hunting and carving to our heart's content!  Here we are at the pumpkin hunting place... riding the caterpillar...

 Readying for the train ride to the patch!

 At the patch and HAPPY!!!

Just how tall are they?  Very!

 Happy Fall!

We carved them today... oh boy!

 Not really digging the whole slimy gross guts idea.

This one isn't impressed either...

 

 Saving seeds for roasting!!!

 Ooops!

After the initial resistance of feeling the slimy insides, they carved a total of 5 pumpkins!  M and I each carved one.  We didn't have enough lights for all the pumpkins so pictures will follow of the finished products.

I'm off to create a photo book of N's many lego creations!!

Much love,
M, J, N & A
