Halloween.....

Astronaut and Superman

Ramsey at the church Halloween party with friend Jacey.

Costume parade!

Matt being a cut-up.

Our first Jack-O-Lantern.  My first one in a LONG time--I have memories of going to Uncle John (my Dad's little brother) and Aunt Denise's house when I was a kid for a pumpkin carving party every year.  

His expression is hilarious.  He liked the cape.

Here we are Halloween night getting ready to trick or treat.

Bella, looking forlorn.  She was sad we were leaving without her.  

We went trick or treating with our neighbor and Ramsey's classmate Nate and his friend.  It was fun.

The after-party.

Check out the loot!

Blue Doggie loved his taste of candy. 

Ramsey playing in the rain.  

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and Ramsey loves curling up with Grandma to read. 

At the doctor's office bustin' out an impromptu drum session.  

Sidewalk chalk.

And, tights ruined. 

 We had so MANY leaves.  It took a lot of raking as well as use of the blower.  Our town picks up leaves off the side of the road, and they don't have to be in bags.  It is awesome.

Up in the neighbor's tree. 

Playing in the leaves.

Here is Beck at Meadow Lane park.  You'll notice there is a little girl hugging Beck.  He is such a charmer.  He always manages to flirt his way into some cute girl's arms, it is amazing.

 Balance beam--precious girl.

Sometimes the kids ask to go to the old park and we love it. 

Another bouncy house--this time Beck got in! 

Bella at the pumpkin patch-sniffing the animals.  She was fairly calm.

Beck doing the dishes.  30 minutes of entertainment and several puddles.   

 Raking as a family.

 A brief interlude...

Face decals!!!

The kids love wearing their Halloween shirts all October--these were from Grandma and Grandpa. 

Neighborhood fun, with a little more bundling.
