Halloweeeeeen

 We LOVE pumpkin pancakes with cinnamon butter and maple syrup.

 We used these skeletons to learn the names of our bones.

I froze bugs in the ice cubes.

Jane made this spooky Halloween garland.

We had daily face painting most of the month.

Ghosty pancakes.

Halloween stickers.

Lots of dressing up all month.

2 lions, a lady bug, a unicorn, and a parrot.

The best part of this Halloween for me, was wearing a witch nose one morning and galloping around the school room on a broom, while cackling... They kids squealed and ran into the school room closet and locked themselves in together. It was HILARIOUS. They were astonished to see me act like that. I don't blame them, as I try to stay in my little comfort zone as much as possible. They were quite caught off guard. I can still see Charlie's face in my mind, looking at me incredulously, half liking it and half terrified.

Pumpkin Farm

We love this farm. There's lots of fun things to do, lots of animals, and lots of exotic pumpkins to choose from.  

Baby bottles in the back pocket. Hot.

Tim and Scarlet, both scared of heights.

They snuggled these bunnies.

Jacob and Scarlet together in one cart.

Fall Festivities

Pumpkin Farm Fun

Family time with Grandma Gail and Grandaddy, Gessie, and Ash's family.

Jacob was making us laugh because he was walking around with a corn cob between his legs (like for a while), so that he could use both hands to peel a corn cob and then have one ready to peel after. 

These ghosts are my new favorite crafty craft. They are super easy, cost like $4 and they are boo-tiful!

These are some shots of them hanging outside. The wind makes them fly around in a ghosty way.

See the floaty-ness.

        

 

I am missing Jacob's mask picture for some reason? It was fascinating for Tim and I to see our kids in a family dance setting. I didn't get pictures at the actual masquerade because it was too dark for my phone camera. But here are some highlights. Scarlet could not have been more delighted- she danced the night away. Jane learned some sweet dance moves from Shaina (who seriously got the party rock'in). I am still picturing her dancing on a chair with a black wig on... love her! 

Charlie was shy like me but he really wanted to dance. He needed his pal Brady I think.  And Jacob was happy as a clam just dancing by himself :0)

Tricks. Treats.

Pumpkins and Pirates

Just want to note here that the Sterling, Alberta Haunted Mansion knocked my socks off. Even Timmy was scared for his life- he kept making me go first! I totally recommend it for date night.

 

Boo!

Trick or Treat

Seriously growing on our fence. 

Good idea except that I am promoting Healthy Halloween. Maybe I could poke the pumpkin with toothbrushes instead?
