Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat 

Smell my feet

Give me something good to eat...

 Hawkeye is out for some candy!! Noah went out earlier with friends (I am pretty sad that he thinks he is big enough to Trick Or Treat without us!)

 The Olsons is always one of the kids favorite places to go:)

Hey...we caught up with Captain America (aka: Noah)  briefly as all the groups lap the neighborhood:)

A little archery practice:)

A surprise visit from Aunt "Zebra" Stephanie!!

Of course after all the tricks and treats we came in for a Halloween meal...

What??? You guys don't eat vomiting peppers, hot dog mummies, and eyeballs on Halloween??

Happy Halloween 2012

Eastons Preschool Parade

Easton "Hawkeye" and Teacher Jen

 I can't believe these are the only 2 pics of the parade that I got:( They come out to the cauldesac and do a fun little performance, sing some songs, and show off their costumes. It is adorable!

This is a random Halloween picture...I volunteered in Noahs classroom and let Easton come with me in his costume too (he had changed into IronMan by now though) There just happen to be an empty desk by Noah so he just sat right down and felt like another one of the second graders. He ALWAYS talks about how one day he will be big like Noah...so he absolutley LOVED this:)

Decorating Pumpkins

We veto carving with such young kids...we found that they couldnt really help with much and just end up watching. Especislly since neither one likes to touch the inside of the pumpkin. So we find other ways every year...

This year we found light bright pegs!! How cool is that...

 They even came with little hammers to pound them in!

Of course we always do the Mr Potato Head faces...

And there ya have it...decorated pumpkins 2012:)

So Many LEAVES!!

Raking up leaves at AnnMaries

Goofin with Will and Steph:)

Time Out For Women

Janette got me tickets to Time Out For Women for my BDay!!! It turned into a big family group girls weekend  and it was soo soo fun! We stayed in a hotel for the weekend and spent Friday night and Saturday listening to amazing talks, stories, and music. This definitely needs to be an annual event.

Kathy, Amber, Janette, Liz and Laney, Stephanie, AnnMarie

While we were there Keith found me a new van!! Adding a third kid means I finally get a minivan!! (and yes I have actually really wanted one!!) The conveniences it provides for a family just can't be beat:)

Its a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan and we love it:) 

This picture was taken months later but how cute is Easton and his little friend Mason out there with their cars helping me wash mine!!

Pumpkin Walk 2012

 This year we parked at the school and took the bus up to the Pumpkin Walk!

Notice baby Giraffe playing the part of Buzz Lightyear

 Baby Giraffe also made an appearance with Yoda:)

They love sticking their faces in all the photo stands but the pumpkin walk is actually about the scenes created out of pumpkins by local groups throughout the community.  These are a few of our favorites this year...

Madagascar

Willy Wonka

Poptropica

Mario

A little break to warm the hands:)

They also have some pretty cool carvings every year:)
