Halloween Day Fun

Halloween morning and still no carved pumpkins at our house. Time to get busy and start carving.



Pumpkins are done. Time to head out for some trick-or-treating fun. Lillian is not quite sure what to think of 'spider girl' and 'groovy girl'. Where did my big sissy's go?


Fist stop...Tina and John's house to wish them a happy anniversary and of course do some trick-or-treating. You can see them hiding in the back of the picture. I guess they were too scared to get to close to the spider.



Trick-or-treating fun is over. Time to look through all the candy. Girls are both tired from doing a lot of walking. Paul gave the girls a math problem to do. If we each ate one piece of candy a day how many days would it take to eat through all the candy. We were all too tired to figure it out today, maybe tomorrow.



Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch Adventure

Everyone is on their own quest for the perfect pumpkin but Paul and Lillian seem to be looking at the corn stalks.


Gerrilyn is having a hard time deciding where to begin.


Frances appears to be on a mission, maybe she has found her pumpkin.


Looks like Paul thinks he has found a good pumpkin but Lillian is having a hard time checking it out.


Having a chance to give it a better close up look Lillian seems to like her and daddys pumpkin.



My first wheelbarrow ride - this is lots of fun!



Everyone seems happy with their pumpkin choice.


I guess our adventure has lasted a little bit too long. Looks like Frances has reached the end of her rope. Funny faces from Paul don't seem to work on her like they do on Lillian.



The end of our adventure. Time to get in the car and go home. Gerrilyn please drive safely!

What to do on a rainy day in Kirkland?

...Climb in the bookshelf of course! Last weekend we had our first real wind/rain storm of the season. We stayed in and played.



Once you are done with the bookshelf the next best thing is to pretend you are a dog!
