It has been a gorgeous fall this year and we have taken advantage of it with many outdoor activities. Halloween started weeks before the big day with the kids testing out their costumes around the house several times a week. If we only had a nickel for every time a ninja or cat girl tried to scare us around the house...
We usually wait to carve pumps until Halloween day so they don't rot from the relative heat. Ann made the lid opening to her pumpkin so small she had to perform laparscopic surgery to carve all the goo out. Naturally the kids were all grossed out by the pumpkin goo and did not want to help with that part of the carving.
We are so proud of our of finished product!
The ninja, the peacock, and the cat girl...sounds like the to start to an interesting story...
Abby was not sure how she felt about her costume...
The Wilsons invited us over for their what is now annual Halloween pre-trick or treat party. They really upped the ante this year with more decorations, great tasting pizza and even goody bags for kids and parents! "Creepy" Jimmy was excited to hand out the goody bags to his guests. Thanks Wilsons for making Halloween so much fun! (Come to think of it they pretty much make every holiday a party!) One of these days we have to return the favor and host something....
Our cat girl loves her party favors!!!!
Here is the whole Arbor Springs gang. Once the party was over and Trick or Treat began, this kids were off to the races. Stiv could barely keep up as they frantically sprinted from house to house.
The annual Midvale Fall Festival was a couple weeks ago and is the largest fundraiser of the year for the school. We volunteered to run one of the activities, as you can see it was not one of the popular ones. 
Abster loved riding the mini pony around and around and around. None of the animals look very happy to be here....
Catie loved the mini-pumpkin painting station...
The kids thought it would be fun to eat breakfast in one of their tents on a lazy Saturday morning.
Oh you have to love the missing front tooth phase... the thing was loose for an eternity before it fell out. We even tried the old tie it to a door knob and slam the door trick!
Jackson passed his test for the green stripe belt! He did a great job with all four phases of the test, kicking, forms, sparring and board breaking.
