Trick-or-treat

We took the kids to the outdoor shopping area for a little candy today. They had so much fun! Grant loves his scarecrow costume, and Julia kept her headband on the whole time! They also had face painting and some games. Thank goodness for the break in the crappy weather - 50 degrees and windy didn't seem so bad, and the place was packed. A nice little afternoon.

Baby Holland

We went to the lake this weekend to see Grandma and Grandpa and to see the Barkers before their big move to Hawaii. We also got to meet new baby Holland - she is such a sweetie! The older kids had a great time playing together, despite the record cold weather. brrrr Julia doing the sign for "more". I have a similar picture of Grant at this age.

Mom and Dad's visit

Last weekend Mom and Dad came to visit. Grant is all about tradition, and since we carved a pumpkin with Dad last year, we had to do it again this year :) Grant drew what he wanted on the pumpkin, then Dad and I cut it. And Grant wanted nothing to do with pulling out the insides. Silly boy - we'll carve another pumpkin this month and I'll MAKE him do it!! We also went out to Vala's - the best pumpkin patch around.
