Halloween and Fall Happenings

Okay, so it is almost Thanksgiving and I am just now getting around to putting up our Halloween stuff.  Well, at least I am getting it done.

We have enjoyed spending time with a local homeschool group.  We enjoyed an opportunity to go with the group to a corn maize in Brenham.  We had a great time together as a family.  James took a vacation day so that he could go with us.  We went through the maze, went on a hay ride, played and had tons of fun together.


The boys loved this pumpkin's naturally smiley face

For the Halloween season we enjoyed James' company party.  The kids had a blast with all of the games, bouncy houses, treats and costume contest.  The boys loved bringing a good friend along too.  The boys loved being able to dress up in their costumes (they were both ninjas) and showing off their "ninja skills".  Josephine was Pebbles for Halloween and James was Fred and I was Wilma Flintstone.  We received a prize for the best family costume.
Josephine didn't like her cotton candy, so she fed it to Daddy

The Flintstones

A few days before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.  Josephine really liked the gooey insides.




Finally on Halloween we went Trick-or-Treating as a family around our neighborhood.  This was really fun and a huge deal for us!  This was the first year we didn't go to a friend's neighborhood to trick-or-treat.  In our old neighborhood we never felt safe enough to go door to door, but in our new home and neighborhood it was wonderful!

So excited to go trick-or-treating

Sarah was exhausted after guarding our door all evening

I know there will be more coming up soon for me to write about, so until next time...
