Halloween Time and Surprise!

Halloween is always a fun time around here and of course the kids (well maybe just Ashley) are into dressing up still!

The annual pumpkin carving started strong but it was mainly Daddy who finished up!

Ashley was thrilled to be able to dress up twice for dance.  Once she wore last year's Rainbow Brite costume and the other she wore this year's - LOL doll Queen Bee!

Her 1st grade Fall party was cute!

Trevor went to school for his party as a lifeguard :) 

When we got home from school a big surprise was waiting for them!!  Grandma and Papa John flew in!!!!!!  They had NO clue!!!

We braved the weather for Sam's Club Trunk or Treat.  BRRRRRRRR!  But such an impressive event!!

After that we parted ways with Trevor so that he could trick or treat with his buddy Eli while Daddy, Mommy and Ashley went to the Northside of our neighborhood to attend the Shemin's annual party and do some trick or treating there.  

After stopping at Sophia's we headed back to our side of the neighborhood and stopped into our neighbor Tom's house!  He wasn't going to turn off the light until we got there :)

And it's always fun to trick or treat at our own house when your Grandparent's open the door!!!  Thanks so much for coming Grandma and Papa John!!  It's kind of becoming a tradition :) XO

Trevor's Scavenger Hunt - Early Birthday Present!

After our power went back on we could give Trevor one of his birthday presents a bit early!  To do so we sent him on a scavenger hunt around the house!  He loved it!  (So did we to be honest) It ended with him finding out that he is going to the MN Vikings vs KC Chiefs game in KC on Sunday!  He was excited!!!!!  Meanwhile he will have to really think about if he is going as a Vikings or Chiefs fan.  Insert eye roll!

Happenings!

Clearly another busy month and it's not even done!!!!  Dentist appts, date nights, Chuck E Cheese spirit night to raise money for CPE PTO, Daisy's, ice cream social with her teacher, all the puzzles, all the books, the car Sara was going to have but then ended up backing out of, movies with friends, egg decorating with Sophia, Boss's Day (!!), pizza night with cruise friends, dress up week, BBros birthday party and tumble filled in some of our month!  It's a great season of life!!
