Halloween

Kids this year went trick or treating with grandma, grandpa and uncle Wes. They got lots of candy and enjoyed their time. Maya learner to say "My CANDY", emphesising that she wants to cary her own candy.

Trick or Treat

We enjoyed the kids' costumes this year more than ever. We planned for Nathan and Maya to be garden gnomes and Matthew wanted to be the red power ranger. Nathan's costume was small for him (he grew up fast) and besides he didn't like wearing the beard that went with the costume. At the end he wore a green dragon costume. Maya wore her garden gnome costume and changed into her princess dress after her dinner.
We also enjoyed carving pumpkins and putting them to display on our front porch. We also visited our families and friends in Naperville and Lisle and took pictures with them.
For Linnet's birthday this year we went to the Brookfield Zoo and had a ball. Kids cooperated in taking an awesome picture on the bails of hay displayed by a giant pumpkin (in the middle).
