Halloween Fun Part I

The kids are sporting their new rain boots. We've had such a mixture of rain and snow here lately that they can wear them every day practically. And M wants to--he pretty much refuses to wear anything else because he love his green boots with the tractors on them so much.
















Here are several pictures of the kids in Halloween clothes and costumes.



M the Monkey.



D the Angel.



D made some awesome A's. She's starting to learn the letters of the alphabet.



Silly girl!



All ready to go to the Fall Ball at ECFE.



Coloring Halloween pictures.





Drawing on the "chalkboard" wall.



Playing on the toys.



Posing for a picture.



Oh, Mr. Messy. This is what happens when you mix orange frosting with a cookie. His shirt is not miraculously clean--I had just taken his bib off.



What a cutie patootie.



The kids played in the leaves today (10-27) before we mulched them.



Luna should be ready for sledding in the snow after this trip.

So Much For Fall

Mr. Messy and his favorite--sweets! (That is an ice cream cone he is eating like corn on the cob).



Our little fashionista.



The family in Broncos attire.







We went to Linder's Fall Fest this weekend. It had snowed the night before, so we were all bundled up. D actually went on a pony ride--her first time! She usually says she wants to and then freaks out. She picked the smallest horse they had, a miniature called Eensy (appropriate, because it was so teensy eensy weensy.) This horse was perfect for her and the reason the ride was a success.





Going on the hayride.



Stopping to rest in the hay maze.



This looks like we're dressed more for Winter Fest than Fall Fest, doesn't it?



D checking out her face painting design.



Doesn't it seem a little bit early for this picture to be showing up here? If it were January or February, fine. But October 12??? Craziness. The kids had a ton of fun playing in the snow and helping make the snowman. We took a walk in the neighborhood and D wanted to walk on the snowy grass instead of the street. She loved making footprints. It was warm-ish out, so that was a bonus.
