October Fun

I am trying really hard to keep this blog up to date but seem to be falling behind a bit so I will sum up the remainder of October in this single post...

One weekend I was having a severe craving for all things pumpkin. So Joey helped me make pumpkin bread, Josh made pumpkin cheesecake and after carving our pumpkins, we (of course) made pumpkin seeds. Joey LOVES helping me in the kitchen so he was all about stirring up the mixture for the bread.

Here's Sam snacking on some raisins... but really, I just love this picture of him because of his smile. As much as I love the "squish" smile, it's nice to be able to capture his natural smile once in awhile too.

The weekend before Halloween we went to a trick-or-treat event at the zoo and Joey was really concerned about this witch after I told him she was flying too fast on her broom and must've crashed.

Here's Sam the lion... he was perfectly content wearing his costume as long as he could run wild.

Aaron Rodgers and Grace (the nice witch)...

On Halloween day, we took the kids trick-or-treating at Scheels in the afternoon. They had salespeople giving out candy all over the store, free rides on the ferris wheel & a costume contest for the kids. Joey went as Aaron Rodgers and Josh, Sam & I were his biggest fans.

Here's Sam & Peyton carefully selecting their next treat...

Joey... I mean Rodgers... taking a ride on the ferris wheel

That night we took the boys trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. Joey was determined to fill up his entire bucket with candy so Josh took him to a few extra houses on the next street while Sam and I went home to hand out candy. Both boys had so much fun!

Even Bruizer got in on the fun...
