Halloween Fun

Halloween is always a fun time in our neighborhood and this year was no exception!  Gracie hosted a little Halloween party at her house for our play group.  Of course they are at the age where there is a lot of parallel play especially among this independent group.  Ashley spent a lot of her time jumping!
But Gracie and Ashley did get one hug in before the party was done!
It's so fun to dress up for Halloween that it can't be just a one day occasion.  Look how much changes in one year?!?!
Gracie came over to play for a bit one day so her Mommy could go to an appt.  Festive group!
Who doesn't have multiple Halloween outfits?  LOL
The kids look forward to the Petsmart Halloween festivities.  Not sure if its for the candy or being able to draw on Daddy's work board!
Eventually we worked our way out to the fun!
Yay!  Candy for the little Rapunzel!
Trevor hard at work crafting!
Annual family pic!  They always have the best backdrops!

Father and son and doggie cuteness!

The kids had a day off of school so we organized an outing to MacDonald Farms.  Trevor and his future wife Claire!
Ashley wasn't so sure of the scarecrow!
Quick pic of the Bergstroms, Ellertsons, Feathers and our kids!
Hay ride fun!

Quick pic with Mama....and after that she threw up.  Think she got too hot or motion sick from the hay ride but our friends all agreed that Trevor should stay while Mama took Ashley home.  Have we said how much we love our friends? 
Katie brought Trevor home after more fun was had!  Like this tractor ride!
These kids are a hoot and such good buddies!
Halloween wouldn't be complete without actual pumpkin carving!  
Ashley had no interest in helping but she did find it fascinating that Trevor would stick his hands in the guts!
Our Trunk or Treat at our clubhouse is a fun time too!
We trunk or treat with the Feather's but have to check out all the fun around too!
And then finally the big day is actually here!!  Happy Halloween from the cowboy and Rapunzel!
Once she heard it was time to trick or treat she was off!  Straight to the Mauck's!
Cuties!
Just like Trevor, Ashley much preferred handing out the candy this year than walking house to house (or we should say driveway to driveway as is Fireside tradition)!
Lots of country folk and a princess!  Happy Halloween everyone!

October Happenings

Other things we were up to in October....Making mini-murph pizzas from Papa Murphy's
Having our first big meltdown in a long long time because she didn't get to put Toby in his kennel.
It's still hot enough to swim in our pool!
Belly flop!  Ouch!
Brian dressing all country for his first Garth Brooks concert!!

Trevor loved that Daddy had a cowboy hat too!
He said he actually knew some of the songs!!
Love the hat on him!!

Toby loves going to work with Brian!
One night Mommy organized a Crimson Point Mom's night out at Mellow Mushroom so Daddy took the kids to sushi...

We got a new Bob stroller to make it easier to pick up the kids from tennis/walk pool on Wednesdays.  This way we can cut through the wash!

Sliding with our bestie at school!
Trevor's class had a field trip to Mortimer farms.  
They got to pick out a little pumpkin!

Such a great class!
And so thankful for Jasper's Mom, Flick who is the class historian and takes her job seriously!! She always makes it seem like we are there in when reality we are not.  
Ashley learning how to pump and straight for the swings at school!
Hot Air Balloon Festival with the Wirick's.  Trevor's other girlfriend, Claire (yep, there are 2 Claire's in his life!)
