Halloweeen

The day before Halloween we went to Blue Harbor because they had trick or treating there. Well it was a waste of time. For $3 the kids got a hand full of candy. They all asked, "is that it?"

Judah Allyn as Hannah Montana

Kian as a Transformer.

I am not sure why I didn't get a picture of Lyric, but you can see him in the group photo. He was a ninja.

The New Place

We have spent 2 nights at the new place. We are really enjoying it. It is so cute here. There are a few things that will take some getting use to. One things for sure is only having 1 bathroom. I will post pictures as soon as I find the cord to download them.

Judah is taking baby steps!

Breakfast

This is what I woke up to this morning. Breakfast waiting for me. Lyric is such a kind heart. He said he was laying in bed thinking about it. Allyn and Kian did help him with it, but he gets credit for thinking of it. David also had a plate, but he ate his by the time I got downstairs. They were by far the BEST cold waffles I have ever had.

Sick Kids

Allyn and Lyric are home sick today. Lyric started not feeling well on Monday. Tuesday he stayed home with a fever and went back to school Wed and Thurs. Allyn is upset she can't go to school today. All 4 of the kids have a nasty cough. YUK! I am sure Kian and Judah will get it soon.

Halloween 2000 Halloween 2001

Halloween 2003 I found this picture today.... Halloween 2002

Lyric doing what he does best..............reading!

David brought home some dry ice for Kian. He thought it was pretty cool!


So here is what I looked like after I got my teeth done. Everyone was laughing at me because I could not smile. This is my smile... even after a couple of hours.

We found a new home for the kids swing set. David had to take one last picture of it. Our friends The Staders are enjoying it now.

We went to the Pumpkin farm with church and a very very cold day out. I think it was about 30 degrees or so. I am not ready for winter!!!!

Kelly Olsen and her big grin :)

After the hay ride we had a potluck at the Pumpkin Farm. There was a lot of food, but it was also freezing inside!

Michelle and her CHEESE!

The kids got their costumes this weekend. Ally is of course going to be Hannah Montana! This is only part of her costume.

I didn't get a picture of Kian or Lyric yet, but Kian is going to be a Transformer and Lyric a Ninja. Neither are costumes I would have picked out, but I guess they are older now and they don't want Mom picking them out. It is so weird for me to just buy them and not make them. I am however making Mine and David's for our 3rd Annual Hastings Costume Party. We are really excited. Stay tuned for pictures. The Party is Nov 6 so be patient.

Judah is going to be a Garden Gnome.
