Thorn in the paw!

Ira put on a little play about a bear with a thorn in it's paw... She drew this flyer for it...






We popped off the dried Indian corn for future necklaces...





Pumpkin carving...











He likes to eat with utensils, but hasn't mastered getting food on to the utensil, so he picks up the food and puts it on the spoon, then eats it.





And if he still can't manage to keep the food on the spoon all the way to his mouth- he just uses his hands.





The BAT!!!!!!











The zebra?
Liv Insisted that she wanted to be a ghost for weeks. Weeks. I made her a costume an she wore it all day.

5 minutes before leaving- she refused to wear it! Jared and I scrambled to find something that he would wear- it ended up being this zebra ear/tail we had in the dress up bin from last years clearance sale at target! I think it was 90cents!





I said "some me your tail!" and she did this!!!





We went to a safe trick or treat neighbourhood that was about a mile walk from us. It was very fun, but crowded and dark- so no pictures.

The collection!





She traded it for organic and gluten free yummy candy...





The pumpkins all aglow.





We bought all thi to hand out an then didn't get any trick or treaters!
I'm only half sad about that ;)

Thursday

Tea and toast-


Bat ears...


Pumpkin baking...


Someone was a little tired- she demanded new pajamas and fell asleep on the floor!


After the nap, we went to watch the sunset...we picked up an entire bucket of trash! Ira is learning about plastic in our oceans now... So she was very interested in getting the trash up.
She told liv, "if a baby turtle eats just a little piece it can DIE!"







Emers was not so into the beach, I think it was too cold for him.


The sun set....








Then the fog came in...

Pumpkins!!!!!!

Random pumpkin patch stop!

We had to go to jareds work so we stopped at a roadside farm for more butternut squash and decided to also go for a jump house/slide visit. It was a week day and close to closing time, so we were one of a handful of patrons. Best time to go apparently! Everyone was so helpful and friendly.

The man working the jump houses was so nice.





Train was done for the day- bit they let the kids play on it-





This. Slide. Was. So. Much. Fun.








Seriously, we went down the slide sooooo many times! It was a hard climb up, but sooooo worth it. The whole family had a blast! (and a workout)

Jump house!!!!


We hadn't planne on getting pumpkins, but the prices were good and the staff was so accommodating.... That we piled a few up. There is no such thing as too much squash.





Emers rode in the sling. He was the official kombucha holder.


The girls were excited to see all the Lady bugs on the sunflowers...
