Happy Halloween!

It seems we've had an endless (and endlessly fun) Halloween season this year.  The real day finally arrived and brought parties at school along with torrential rain.  We waited it out, though, and still made a trip around the neighborhood! 

Breakfast:  Chocolate chip pancakes!

 

 

Josephine is read for her school party.

Let's make some sugar cookie cutouts while we wait out the rain!

 

 

Yum!

 

Happy Halloween!

Finally!  Time to trick-or-treat!

 



Happy Halloween, Everyone!

 

Halloween Walk

Wow.  Longest.  Halloween.  Ever.  I am not complaining.  It is awesome that we've had so many Halloween happenings this season.  But... we're not even there yet, and we have more candy than we can eat.  Today we did the Halloween walk in our business district (might as well try out the local stuff since we're new here!).  It was also a fundraising night for preschool at Chik-fil-a.  I'm glad we did it all... and glad to be home.

 Who is ready for more fun?!

 Me!

 Me, too!

 Handing out cotton candy?!

 Best treat ever!

 Fun night on the town.

 Yummy food for my school.

Home, warm and cozy!

Fall Fun

Josephine's preschool field trip to our local farmer's market was cancelled because of possible bad weather, but since it didn't come, we went after school instead!

 Woo hoo!

 Working hard to have fun.

 Ride 'em cowgirl!

 

 This really spooky ghost scared my girl!

Happy Halloween!

David's Birthday & Trunk-or-Treat

We spent today celebrating David and also having some family time at our adoption agency's trunk-or-treat. 

 All you Breaking Bad fans out there may appreciate this.

 The breakfast in bed delivery crew.

 Guess who loved David's birthday cake most?

 Our hockey star.

 Our pretty princess.

 All dressed up and ready for candy.

The costumed crew.

 

 Ready for the playground.

 Dinner time!

 Making new friends.

 Up, up and away!

SO proud of himself for making it to the top.

Museum of Transportation

We took a family trip to the Museum of Transportation.  It was our first time, and it was fun!  I wish we'd known that people were dressing up in costume.  The kids kept reprimanding us for not bringing theirs.  *sigh*

 What a crew!

 

Learning about brakes.

 Ready to ride!

  

 You'd be surprised if this guy was riding in your milk car!

  

J didn't like it in there so much.

  

Never to fear:  Apba to the rescue!

  

Great day!

Josephine Turns Four!

After a ton of celebrating, it's finally our little girl's real day!

Ready for the birthday girl!

 

Per her request "a big box of donuts with lots of kinds."

 

Apba is good at putting a unicorn ponytail in.

 

Unicorns all around.

 

J takes some time for an engineering game.

 

Flying off to dinner:  Greek food!

 

Some of my very happiest days are my kids' birthdays each year.

 

Cake time!

 

Blow out the candles!

 

A silly and happy birthday.

 

Haunted House

We are getting this place ready for Halloween!  Woo hoo!

This about sums these two up.

 

Cobwebs and pumpkins and spiders, oh my!

I found a hideaway in the pumpkin patch.
