Halloween

Michael and Matthew were at the donut house, so they missed pictures.  But here is a ref, harry potter, black ninja, dolphin, and bumble bee.

So cute!

Matthew and Makayla met up and trick or treated together, since their costumes went together.  They ran fast from house to house!

The Monday before-classic.  Since we let the kids use knives this year, I told Adalyn she had to stay on the chair watching so she didn't accidentally get cut.  She was scared to come in the picture, but felt safe next to me.

Zach's creation.

Ninja and dolphin ready for school.  Oh, after we took the picture, Zach went trick or treating with his friend Max and they ran the whole way, the friend's dad following behind.

Matthew ready for school.

Joseph's ready for a day of spells.

Emma is ready!

Makayla is ready!

I broke our microwave plate while putting it in the drying rack.  Size for reference so Rob could buy a new one.

Emma's parade was a different time than the rest of the kids because she has half day kindergarten.

Back to carving (notice Adalyn in her spot)

The little kids painted their little pumpkins they got from their field trip to the pumpkin patch.  Or maybe these are the volunteers that grew in our front yard.

Joseph designing, Rob over seeing.

Michael and Makayla working.

Ellie came before Halloween and showed us her costume, so the kids wanted to try on costumes.

And hold Ellie the elephant of course.

So cute!

 At story time they had some plastic bugs and real bugs.  Adalyn is holding a plastic bee, because she dressed the part.
