Halloween

 Despite the fact that we wouldn't be home to light our pumpkins, we still had to carve them.

 The kids do a little more of the work these days!

 Finished products.  Taylor was not a fan of this modified design after her original design didn't make the cut...literally.  We had to improvise!

 On Friday, Dave and I went to have lunch with the kids at school for Taylor's birthday.  Chase was almost too cool for that.  When Taylor went back to class he politely figured out a way to get us to leave so he could spend the last 10 minutes chatting with his friends!

 She was happier than appears with her birthday cupcake!

 Random picture that can't be left out - Chase on "crazy hat day".

 Friday night we had the chance to catch up with Melinda briefly as she was passing through town.

 Saturday was the last baseball game of the season.  Chase said they won the championship?!?

 It was not the last soccer game - still two more to go!  She was wound up because Max (the dog) was there to watch her.

 After sports we went up to church to set up for trunk or treat.

 Then it was finally time for costumes!

 Curious George, The Man with the Yellow Hat, and the Blue Ninja.

 Ready for some candy action.

 Our trunk.  The kids are more entertained handing out the candy than getting it!

 Hawaiian hot dog dinner picnic.

Family photo.  It was a fun night.
