Fall Fun

The leaves on our tree have been a beautiful color this fall.  This is not the best picture, but hey- its pretty good for holding a baby and talking on the phone while taking it.  I would take another but the leaves are almost gone now.

 I had to snap a photo of these pretty flowers that decided to bloom for the first time about two weeks ago.

 Friday night I had my Halloween piano recital.  We planned on carving pumpkins afterward but we were all tired and a little sick (or sick and tired?) so we saved the task for Saturday.  Wow- it is quite a task to hollow out and carve seven pumpkins. But we did it!  They are all good sized pumpkins from our garden!

 I made these disgusting looking jello worms to take to the street Halloween party later that afternoon, along with bone breadsticks.

 Here is Seth at the party dressed as a wizard/Harry Potter/Napoleon wig dude.

 Brenna as a bejeweled cowgirl.

 Our cute little pumpkin.

 Our cute little almost three year old who refused to dress up.

 And our batman who lost his mask/cape.

 Seth received the prize for best decorated bike.  Brenna received best costume for her age group, but for some reason I don't have a picture of her.  Our family received the best decorated house prize, but that is only because we were the only participants.  (those jack-o-lanterns out front were the extent of it)

 Our neighbors of course received best adult costume- they are holding our cute Sydney so I thought I would include their picture.

 Here are the trick-or-treaters on Halloween night.  They had already gotten some candy Saturday night at the Trunk-or-Treat.  I tell you, it has been a fun-filled holiday weekend.

Now we can look forward to Thanksgiving!!
