Happy Halloween

Here are some pre-Halloween & Halloween fun photo's. It was very difficult to get a picture of all 3 kids together. So we have individuals of them.

Enjoy
Ma Krause (a family friend) has a pumpkin run each year that she invites all her grandkids to. There are games for the little kids, treats, cider, doughnut's, coffee, and lots of fun.

Pumpkin bowling. Merrick won a 1st place for this and the prize was the 3rd largest pumpkin. You can't see it but they are using a small gourd. All the little kids got party favors as a prize.

Sophie and her new best pal Frank.

Ethan & Sophie attend a playgroup on Wednesdays, and they had scheduled a day at a local pumpkin farm. There were all kinds of fun and neat things for the kids to play on. Before they left each kid could pick a little pumpkin from the pumpkin river. They had a lot of fun, but it was FRIDGED COLD!!

Sophie found a place out of the wind to play peek-a-boo

A hay bale tunnel. That's Sophie starting thru the other end. Tim & I would have crawled in there just to get out of the wind, if it had been big enough.



Ethan & Sophie in the middle trying to figure out if they wanted to go left, right, or straight.


















Here we are at our first stop. Our neighbor runs a daycare & she had goody bags all made up for our kids too.

Ethan is Bob the Builder

Sophie was "Kitty meow-meow", as Ethan called her.


























Merrick's costume was all about the hair. We (meaning me) put lots of moose and hairspray in his hair and then put in holders to let it dry. After it dried, we combed it out, used a ton more hairspray & the hairdryer. To finish it off we used an entire can of silver hair color.
