Happy Halloween!










We had so much fun at the leaf raking party last night. The bread turned out great, the kids had a blast playing in the leaves and the adults enjoyed the great food & good company!

And today was a wonderful day too! Noah was so excited for Halloween that he had a hard time focusing on anything else all day. Since Trick or Treating was 4-6 pm in our city, I think we had many other kids that don't live here...and being in a big neighborhood meant we ran out of candy 1 hour into it (we "borrowed" some from Noah's collection--but don't tell him that, we did it when he wasn't looking!--- and raided the pantry just to get a little more). I don't think we've ever run out before and last year we had tons left over. I guess we'll need to buy a little more next year but not a ton more....such a fine line!

Noah dressed as Bob the Builder and Nathan as a puppy dog. Noah said "trick or treat" at many of the houses and remembered to say "thank you" most of the time. He got quite a loot for the 2 dozen houses we went to.

We enjoyed the evening with Grandma & Grandpa Rust who stayed to a yummy dinner of Halloween-shaped pasta & fesively decorated cake. Nathan talked the whole evening (after staying silent through Trick or Treating). We lit our jack-o-lanterns. The larger one is Noah and the smaller one is Nathan.
Aunt Chelsea, here's your pictures!!!

Some Halloween-ish Pics




These are some pictures from our Halloween and Fall activities. We went to the pumpkin patch with our neighbors and cut pumpkins off the vine. We took a hayride there and Nathan loved it! We also went to the annual chilly (actually it was downright cold) walk through Tower Park for the Pumpkin Walk and enjoyed the amazing jack-o-lanterns. We decided to carve some of our own and that's what's going on as I'm typing this. Oh and the bread is rising. Keeping my fingers crossed it turns out okay!

Welcome!

Welcome to our family's blog. Here we'll keep you updated about things that we're doing and little tidbits from our life. This weekend is Halloween and the kids (Noah) are super excited. We're off to a leaf raking party tomorrow (which is really an excuse to get together with some friends). First thing in the morning is an attempt at making bread.

We'll try to post pictures sometime soon and include some from Halloween and the Pumpkin Walk last evening.

Happy Halloween!
