This was just a funny looking little bird hunting for morsels along the shore.
Boys will be boys.
Run, run as fast as you can, but you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man.
Only an 8 year old would decide that it was a fun game to hop around wet sand on one foot.
Soaked from head to toe and sandy all over, but it sure was fun!
They were gone trick or treating with Clint for over an hour and both came home with their bags full! We didn't have any trick or treaters come to our house though. I think because it is raised and has hedges around it people don't think of coming here. I finally sent the boys out to stand on the sidewalk and hand out the candy to children walking by.
Boys will be boys and they will always have goofy faces.
Before we went home so the boys could get dressed we stopped at Target to get some candy to pass out. As we walked to the car I spotted a rabbit in the parking lot. It was kinda weird to see a rabbit in the middle of the city in a parking lot. I tried to take a picture but in the dusk a dark rabbit against dark pavement doesn't come out very well. It was still fun!
Shaun and his dad carved pumpkins in his hotel room. These were the pumpkins Shaun got at the pumpkin patch. We don't usually carve our pumpkin at home because after Halloween I carve up and bake the pumpkin to freeze and use in cookies and pie. Real pumpkin tastes so much better than canned!!! I can't even stand to use the canned stuff ever.
We tried to take this picture with Clint's camera but it kept telling us it was out of batteries. He had bought new batteries but the camera still wouldn't work so I eventually had to pull out mine or we were never going to get a picture.
At school today there was a parade to show off all of the costumes. After the parade Shaun's class posed against the backstop so parents could get pictures.
It rained earlier in the morning. Luckily it was not coming down during the parade, but the kids had to bring out their chairs to sit on.
The whole school turned out.
Of course, Shaun waved to someone in the crowd but never did wave to me or look at me so I could get a picture from the front.
David walked with his teacher.
Every year the principle dresses up in elaborate costumes. This year she was wall-e the robot from the Disney movie. It was a pretty good costume. it was a wooden box with holes for her arms and pieces that fit over her arms and head.
Separate parts fit over her feet.
This is what she looks like for real.
The park by our house had a carnival the day before halloween. The boys got to play some games and win some prizes.
Captain America and Azurill to the rescue.
Clint was in town this week and we stopped by a pumpkin patch. I made him sit with the scarecrows. Can you tell that he is less than excited to pose?
He chose a big pumpkin and a little pumpkin.
He thought that it was funny that there was a pumpkin big enough to be a seat.
Trying to lift the big pumpkin he chose.
Pumpkin heads
There were rides to go on. This is the Titanic.
Sliding down into the "water", pretending to be Leonardo Decaprio (just kidding).
There was also a petting zoo. He got a cup of food to feed the goats but as soon as he started to feed them the big one stole it out of his hand. He freaked out and wouldn't pet anymore animals. We tried to catch a rabbit to pet because he decided that they were ok. When we couldn't catch one the worker pulled this one out of the cage for him to hold, even though holding the animals is against the rules.
Shaun loves bunnies!!!
