Afternoon bike ride in the foothills

This is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween!

My pumpkin 

Liam's pumpkin (he drew the face)

Susan's daughter pumpkin, she carved a bat on a moon and it fell in so Susan just put glow sticks in it

Firefighter Cassia hitting Susan's inflatable bat

We stopped by Susan't before going out, I had some chili and the kids had a popcorn ball. Afterwards we went trick-or-treating  an hour later than planned (Jerad sold a car) but it was OK. We got tons of candy and it wasn't even that cold - yay!

Boo at the Zoo!

It was crowded but fun, both kids rode on the merry-go-round and did some trick or treating. Cassia liked feeding the goats and the slide. Liam was quite spastic and enjoyed everything. He went as a dementor, Cassia as a tough fire fighter. 

Here they are feeding goats:

Class trip to the pumpkin patch

I chaperoned the annual trip to the Linder Farms pumpkin patch this morning. You might notice a lack of pictures. This is because I forgot my gloves and it was too cold to take my hands out of my pockets. I did get to talk to Liam's teacher about zombies though:

Mrs. Sly: I had a student who was afraid to use the bathroom because she though there were zombies in there.
Me: Liam would probably want to use the bathroom if he thought there were zombies in there.
Mrs Sly: Me too, I love zombies. 

And we love Mrs. Sly.

Liam however decided to invent a dance called "farting chicken" and to do this in front the group I was chaperoning, which they all started doing as well. Thanks, Liam.

Jerad gets home from an overnight trip to Idaho Falls

Jerad delivered a car to Idaho Falls and stopped in to see his family overnight. He met Laura's new puppy, a Jack Russell named Roxy and saw his grandma who recently fell and broke her collarbone. When he got home the kids were pretty excited.

Puffy coat weather

Liam's "midnight hat"

After the Homecoming Parade we went to the Theater dept's costume sale. Liam got this hat for 1$ and wanted to sleep with it on. He called it a "midnight hat".

Galena watches the BSU game with me

And she was pretty excited about it.

Homecoming Parade @ BSU

We met the Newman family and Liam and CJ got tons of candy. Cassia remained indifferent. It was game day so after we went tailgating and got some hotdogs and cocoa. 

This is how I found Liam watching Adventure Time

Adventure Time Finn hat, Mario pajamas, Captain America shield, and a Lego shield. 

Liam decorated a pumpkin

Ride your bike to school day

It was cold, windy, and Cassia cried almost the entire time but we did it. 

Morning at the park

Liam gives his sister a push

Morning at the playground

I was cleaning the kitchen when Cassia brought me her shoes. I told her we would go outside when I was done, so she brought me my shoes. OK, I told her, we'll go now. The kitchen can wait.
