Happy Halloween!

We finished out the Halloween season strong.  Malloween yesterday at the Eastern Hills Mall...
It was actually ridiculously crowded and the kids got barely any candy, but we bought them a hot pretzel, and of course, that makes everything ok!

We went trick-or-treating tonight with Jonas' Dad and the Lafferty clan.  It's amazing how cold and rain doesn't even come close to stopping kids from wanting to get free candy :-)



Now...what am I going to do with all this candy?!?

Playgrounds and Pumpkins and Costumes - Oh my!

Jonas and I took advantage of the gorgeous weather that we had last week and hit the playground one more time before winter hits.

Jonas and Bethany really worked together to be able to pick up Jonas' giant pumpkin!



What's gonna work?  Teamwork!  I did have to take it from them immediately after I took that picture so they wouldn't drop it and let it smash into smithereens.  Of course, once we got the pumpkins where they needed to go, it was pumpkin carving time!  Jonas designed his own jack-o-lantern face, and I did the best I could to carve out his masterpiece :-)



Last night we went to Trinity's annual "Trunk or Treat".  It ended up being in the gym because of the rain, but the kids had a blast anyway, and came home with tons of candy!  





Jonas loved doing his strong Hulk poses, and can't wait to dress up again for Halloween!

Fall Fun

Here's another random set of pictures of some fun things we've done over the past week or so.
 
 
We celebrated Papa's 58th birthday over the weekend.  Due to his new Ebay hobby, we made him an Ebay addict cake.  The kids were excited to help make the cut out stars to decorate, and of course, Papa loved it.
 
 
 
We went to a corn maze via tractor ride, where Jonas adopted a caterpillar for the day and kept it safe on an ear of corn.  We found the 4 clues to answer our adventure questions and eventually (after about an hour) made it to the end.
 
 
 
 
 
After the corn maze, we took another tractor ride over to the fence maze, collected our 12 stamps (eventually) and played some games at the end.  Somehow, the caterpillar managed to escape (I don't know how, I swear!). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After all the excitement at the mazes, we headed out to another farm to get our pumpkins.
 
 
And now you're caught up!  Until next time...

October Fun!

Jonas and I have managed to have some fun during the first week of October.  

He is learning some fun Columbus Day songs and poems in 1st grade, and my Kindergarten class got to go watch him and Bethany perform!

He was goalie in soccer this week, his favorite!

We went on a super cool field trip to the Buffalo Naval Park on Friday.  Jonas loved the big ships and the submarine.  Unfortunately, my phone (which is my camera) is broken, so there is a serious lack of pictures.  Here's the only one!

Swim class started today, and Bethany is taking it too!

We also had Jonas' birthday last night, and I will post pictures as soon as I get Uncle Mike to give them to me!
