October Happenings

October brought the end of football season for Brayden. His team had a great season and went undefeated: 16-0. Way to go boys!! He had a great time playing tackle this year. His team won both tournaments they entered after the regular season. He had great coaches and teammates. He is #39 on the front row above and he is hiding in the middle of the pack below.

October of course bring Halloween and pumpkin carving!!

We grew 3 humongous pumpkins in our garden this year. They had to have weighed about 100 lbs. each. The kids and Bryce had fun carving them.
Tyler even tried a bit and said it wasn't too bad.

Halloween isn't my most favorite holiday because I am not too creative when it comes to costumes. But this year wasn't too bad and I only had to buy Tyler's costume. I even dressed up for school. All of the 5th grade teachers were "Alice in Wonderland". I got to be Alice. Sorry but there will be no picture however.

Ellie was Tigger!! She was afraid of this costume last year but was excited to wear it this year and I love how warm it was too. Brayden was a football player. Pretty easy to put together because we had everything from football season this year, except pads, but we borrowed some from a neighbor. Tyler had a hard time deciding what to be this year. He wanted to wear a carved pumpkin on his head but we talked him out of that. I found this pirate costume at Wal-mart for only $20 for everything. The good thing is Brayden can use this costume in a couple of years.

Isn't that cute?

" Down, Set, Hut"

Ellie had a fun Halloween party at preschool. I had to work that day so I couldn't go and take pictures or see the kids sing their Halloween songs. :(
