Funny Fall

Here are some funny pictures of what we've been up to this month:
Playing dress up was a HUGE theme. I love three year olds because if they are dressed up as a cowboy or pirate, they REALLY are a cowboy or pirate. Grandma Roxie sent these funny glasses. He wore them so naturally...

Candid pic in the car...
The Columbus Zoo is HUGE. They had "BOO at the ZOO". The kids trick or treated at different exhibits. They LOVED the gorillas. Here they are looking at the Manatees. Bad pictures, sorry.

Petting a snake. eww.
We went with some fun friends to the pumpkin patch (it was more of a pumpkin graveyard) and the boys had a blast. I love this picture of Henry...



Someone asked Grant which hero he was and he said, "Super Grant!". AND... He grew this Super pumpkin this year.


In this town, they do trick or treating two days before Halloween because the college students go BER-ZERK on Halloween. At every door he said, "Thank you, Trick or Treat!" (in that order). Then he would run to us and say, "I did it!" and do a little dance (which reminded me of Spencer's dancing actually).
I love the days when these guys are happy with just one candy. Henry clutched on to this one the whole time.
Grant smashed a ladybug right before this picture.
What do you do if your son won't stop flashing the camera?

Happy Halloween!

Witch party continued...
By request, here are some more details: The pumpkin craft we did can be found HERE. The broomstick party favor in the sacks can be found HERE. (Good old Martha Stewart) I used a pretzel rod instead of sticks and I put homemade caramel corn inside, and just a little bit of candy corn to weight it down but there were so many sweet treats at the party I wish I would have put some non-food items in there but I don't know what. I also made larger ones out of paper grocery sacks and put them outside the front door. I sent out invitations and boxed dinner guidelines so if you want to see a copy I can email it to you. The punch was ginger ale and pineapple juice. The floating eyeballs were from Walmart. My friends made the desserts and appetizers. Family Fun had the ideas for the creme puff eyeballs and ghost poo (oreo truffles). The cupcakes I made came from CountryLiving. A friend brought the lady fingers which were butter cookies with red frosting and almond slivers for the nails. The dinners were so creative and awesome. I'm so glad we did it that way because there were so many people there. I also tried to have a caramel apple station to decorate and take home but the caramel didn't work so I suggest just using the wrapped caramel candies or a tried-and-true recipe. If you need more ideas, I have them!
