Lots of tricks and treats

Happy Halloween!

Ours started with a huge party at school.

Mom says here's her proof she worked

the slime table at Jack's party

(notice the distinct avoidance of his mother).

After all the parties,

we had our annual costume parade.

This year, for something different,

we had it outside on the playground.

It was MASSIVE!

Here I am!

Super proud of my costume!

Weston suddenly decided

being a Power Ranger

was not what he wanted to be

(even though this was

ALL his idea).

Note the turned inside out

ninja shield

Jack, on the other hand,

has now fully embraced

his poop emoji

After school,

we gobbled up some pizza

and hit the road with GiGi and Pappo

to see what the neighborhood had to offer

Let's do this!

Grandpa was very helpful

We had a lot of fun

running from house to house

We met some friends along the way

Imaginary ones too

There were plenty of spooky houses

What a night!

Now, let's see what we got...

LOTS of good stuff!

Ugh.

My tummy hurst already.

Until next year!

The Dragon's last hurrah

Well, we may not have

won many games,

but I did have a good time

this season.

It's all led up to this--

the tournament.

We had 2 games Saturday,

starting bright and early

with the fog

We played hard

Sorry I'm so small--

iPhone isn't awesome

Despite our best efforts,

we lost them both

But we suddenly got

to play again Sunday...

and we tied!

We all gathered to

celebrate our season

on Monday.

As I told Coach,

"I'm thankful that

at least we didn't lose

every game..."

Ha!

We had some treats

and played some kickball

Mom liked Coach Micah's take on the trophy--

"Everyone doesn't 'just get a trophy.'

This is a participation trophy:

a show that you played on a team,

made some friends,

and learned a few things about soccer."

That's everything that we hoped for
from my first season back!

Pre-Halloween party

We have some serious fall fun

to get done tonight.

We kicked it off

with pumpkin carving.

Everyone had a plan

We were designing

And scooping

Tucker could have scooped all day

I was REALLY proud of mine.

A pumpkin eating another pumpkin.

I'd been planning this for weeks.

They all turned out great!

Jack's big mouth, 

Tuck's Power Ranger,

my pumpkin-eating pumpkin,

and Beck's werewolf

They look even better outside

Then it was on to popcorn

and a movie on the deck

We've never made Jiffypop before.

Dad and B were amazed

Whoa!!

That's awesome!

Then we drug our sleeping bags onto the deck

and watched Ghostbusters.

We forgot to get a picture

but I can promise you,

it was as awesome as it sounds.

Warming up

Our school Trunk or Treat

was tonight.

We were excited to get to wear

our costumes again

There were a lot of people there!

And a lot of cool trunks.

Even Jack got into the event!

Alright, enough practice.

We're ready for Halloween!

Snuggles

Sometimes we're spooning

Sometimes we're lapping

Anything for some lovin'

Meat eater

I don't know if you know this,

but I'm going to be a paleontologist

when I grow up.

To prepare for my study of carnivores,

I'm getting in some personal experience.

I can devour ribs

and chicken wings

like my life depended on it.

See?

Guess you should call me

B. Rex.

I. Can't. Even

It had been a while since we took family pictures.

The new ones are

DEFINTELY

worth sharing:

We clean up pretty well.
