Happy Halloween Part II

Here are some pics from the Halloween parade in NSB and from trick or treating tonight. Seth's costume was quite popular, I def think it was a winner!

Here is Seth at the parade and he and I exiting the stage from the costume contest:



Here is Seth right before and during trick or treating:



And Adam's kick ass idea for giving out candy while we were gone:


Hope everyone had a spooky and safe time!

5 Little Pumpkins

Seth had a great time at his Halloween parade at school today. Here is a pic of him in his costume:


After the parade his class did a poem recitation, he had to loose his costume though, so as not to injur the surrounding children! We will post some pics after the Halloween parade tomorrow in NSB and before trick or treating on Sunday.

Hot Dog Ice Cream?

Apparently Publix needs to revisit the recipe for their Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream, as Seth is under the impression that the chunks of cookie dough are actually "little hot dogs". He was quite disgruntled when I gave him ice cream today without them!

Fall Camping

We did some "camping" last night. Our version of camping is sleeping outside in the tent and coming inside to drink coffee and pee. It was awful chilly last night, when we came in at 7:00 this morning it was only 56 outside. BUUURRRR! Here are a few pics of our adventure:

All set up waiting for dark:

The Fall Garden

Our Fall garden is coming along quite nicely. The cabbages, kale and tomatillos are in bloom, but the spinach and radishes have yet to make an appearance. We also put in a snazzy new apple tree that Seth picked out. Supposedly it produces 3 different kinds of apples! There is general skepticism about this actually happening, but we shall see. Here are a few pics:

Our Wedding Weekend

We had a lovely time this weekend attending our friends Rich & Jessica's wedding. It was quite lovely, here are a few pics of the day

World Cultures Day

Seth had World Cultures Day at school today, he is second from the left in the video. As you can see, he is fine with the speaking part, but not so much for dancing!

Chest Lessons

Seth was very excited to give Aunt Alex "Chest" lessons. Alex says he was a worthy opponent, as they had a draw.
