Trick or Treat (a little early)

Dad and Caden trick or treating.

Saturday evening, we went to a Haunted Trail event at a local campground. The trail was too wet from the rain all day, but we were able to trick or treat at each of the campers. This was a lot of fun! Caden went up to one of the campers and said "I need more sugar" - he was talking about a pixie stick - which is what he had picked at the last stop.

Caden was dressed up as "Plablo" and Allyson was "Niqua" from the cartoon Backyardigans.

Firetrucks!

On Saturday, Broc had to take some tests for work at the firestation, so when he was finished, we got to check out the firetrucks and try on a hat!

More Pumpkinland!

Wanted to share more pumpkinland pictures with you. We had so much fun! Caden wouldn't sit still long enough for a good picture - so most of his are on the go. We loved the animals the most! We finished off the evening by picking up Chineese (chicken and rice Chineese - as the kids call it) and went home to eat.

Pumpkinland

This evening was really nice out - so we decided to go to visit pumpkinland. The favorite part for the kids was the petting zoo - especially the bunnies! Caden picked up the bunny and just stood there for about 10 minutes holding the same bunny. When he finally dropped it, he would find it and pick it up to hold it again. Allyson loved holding the bunnies too - but didn't dare to pick them up on her own - she would have one of the older kids that was around help her. Later he told me that "the bunny tickled him" and that is why he dropped it.
I will post a slide show very soon.

Happy Birthday Great Grandpa "Dis"

Today, Grandpa celebrates his 76th birthday! Last evening we helped him celebrate by getting pizzas and cake. Here is a picture of Grandpa with some of the great grandkids.

Things spoken

I just wanted to post a few things that the kids have said over this past week.

Caden was picking a scab. He proclaimed to me "I pick my pickle!"

Allyson loves to go into my room and put on my lotion and lip balm that are on the dresser. After putting both on, she says, "I'm a mommy now, mommy!"

Caden was going to play at a friend's house. As we are pulling into the driveway he says "I want to jump on the biolin" meaning he wanted to jump on the trampoline.

Football

Sunday after church, we went out to enjoy the beautiful weather. It was 88 degrees but a little windy. The kids loved playing catch with Daddy and Grandpa with the football and just being outside.

Fall Fun

This weekend, we spent a lot of time at a local state park. We had fun roasting marshmallows around the campfire, going on a hike, and just being outside in the beautiful weather.

First Day of Sunday School

Today was the first day of Sunday School for the kids. They were both excited and did quite well. There are 7 kids in their class including them. Today they learned about God and how He created the world and all the colors when it started out as darkness. They are looking forward to next week already!

Farewell Spiders

We are going to the dr today to get Caden's "spiders" (stitches) out. I thought I would post a picture of his hand without any band-aids or anything on it. It is looking really nice!
I wanted to mention a few things that he has said about his spiders, so that looking back we will remember them.
When Caden is looking at his hand, he will occasionally say "My spiders are waking up"
Meaning that they are moving.
