Halloween!

Oh my, has it really been that long since I posted anything?  It certainly wasn't because of lack of action.  Boy, things have been really busy around here.  I guess I'll start at Halloween first.  Here are the kids' cute constumes.  Nate made Soul's, and Ivy made her own -- she's the night sky. 

 Kezia the Cat (of course) with her friend Sara the pirate

 Eww!  We ate eye balls for Halloween breakfast!!

 Nate was a magician and I was a playing card.  How we come up with these last minute matching costumes every year, I don't know...

We went to the Fall Festival and it was super fun – totally old – school style festival with free rides, cotton candy, kettle corn, chili and rice and cornbread dinner (yes, all free) and carnival games.  Oh, yes, and a pie eating contest.  My favorite part is seeing so many friends from around the community.  I love this town!

 Soul charging the kiddie rides at the fall festival.  He wasn't into his truck costume, so he just became "the boy with a monkey on his back"

 Nate had a great time doing magic tricks for people in line.

Elysse was excited she was finally tall enough to go on this ride. 

 Duo of the Magicians! 

 Okay, so only watch this if you haven't just eaten -- I really just put it on for the girls to see. :)

With everything going on, we didn’t even get to pumpkins or decorating this year, but with no school on Friday, we decided to do it one day late.  

Elysse was so sweet -- telling Soul what a good job he was doing,

 (um, the real pumpkin is on the left...)
