Halloween!

Uncle Michael came over for dinner and to help pass out candy. The kids were soo excited to show him their Halloween costumes. 

Jake and Izzy from the cartoon "Jake and the Neverland Pirates". Jenny made the costumes and did a great job!

Getting ready to go out!

Every year our neighbor puts on a great Halloween display with a haunted yard. Ethan was daring enough to try by himself in the daylight. We came back later when it was dark and it was alot of fun!

Back at home getting ready to look trough the bounty!

They each got to choose 1 item to have that night before going to bed. Elaine choose a cow tail and Ethan choose grape Nerds. Overall, it was a very good night. 

Phillip and Amelia sleepover!!

Fun in the Pumpkin Patch

We have taken this same picture over the last 3 years

Elaine thought she would be able to lift the big pumpkin. She gave it a good effort, but was unable to budge it.

Pumpkin patch slide

Today we went to a Pumpkin Patch. Got a movie of the kids going down the big slide.They could have done this all day long

HallZOOween

Today we went to HallZOOween at the Cincinnati zoo. We met Phillip and Amelia there. The kids had a blast going to all the treat stations and playing on the playground. Ethan and Elaine are going to be Jake and Izzy form Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Good job to Jenny for the homemade costumes!
