Happy Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins

Logan and Ethan carved their own with just a little help!  Ryan wanted this elaborate design, so his required a lot of assistance from dad- the master pumpkin carver!

School Parties

Ryan was allowed to dress up as a character "occupation".  So he went as Luigi from Super Mario.  Hey, the guy IS a plumber! 



I am a room mom in his class and so helped with the party.  They had a fun party with a few games- pin the nose on the Jack-o-Lantern and Monster Mash Musical Charis, some yummy snacks, and they each got their own mini pumpkin to decorate.









I headed over to Ethan's class party for a little while.  They had already played a "Make-a Mummy" game where they wrapped each other up in toilet paper!  They also were having some snacks.

Cute Fall Decorations



I also stopped in to visit Logan's Feast.  In 5th grade they don't really do parties anymore.  Usually each kid brings some kind of goody and they have a potluck.  There was so much junk food, I could hardly believe it!  The kids were pigging out!

Dinner!

Mom invited us over for dinner before we went out.  It was so great to see the twins and their cute costumes and have spaghetti and visit with mom, Timmy & Nikki.

Trick-or-Treating

We went out trick-or treating around our neighborhood with some friends:  Matthew, Julia, Connor, Eden, and Ivan.  We circled around the neighborhood and collected HUGE amounts of candy!



Bill and Kim joined us for a little bit of fun.  They were dressed up as a family of Kangaroos!  Too cute!

What a great Halloween!

Ryan's 1st Grade Field Trip to Phoenix Zoo

Ryan's first grade class took a field trip to the Phoenix Zoo.  We had a wonderful day exploring the zoo and seeing everything!
