halloween perspective

I loved this blog post about Halloween. Being in a new house we have lots of new neighbors I am excited to be friends with and I loved her ideas of how to be "the house" to go to. I also love Halloween as a holiday and as a chance to be out with our neighbors and our families enjoying life together. Can't wait for trick-or-treating tomorrow night!

October Snow

We had our first snowfall of the season and the kids were so excited. It was like Christmas morning. They couldn't wait to put on their snow gear and head outside. There was really only a dusting of snow, but they made the most of it. We did all the traditional snow activities, shoveled, snow-angels, snowman, snowball fight. Hopefully we will get a couple more good storms this winter and be able to go sledding and skiing too.



 Could not sit at the table and eat cause they weren't close enough to the snow.


 Throwing snowballs at Mommy. I'd say I was the winner this time.
 The amazing snow man we scraped together from the little bit on our grass.


Fall Party

Our friends the Sharda's hosted a really fun fall party. We went as Darth Vadar, Rosie the Riveter, and the Star Wars crew, Darth Vadar, Princess Leia, and Yoda. Levi was very unhappy to be wearing his costume. Let's hope he gets over it for Halloween tomorrow night!
