Finishing up October

We had a great Halloween Day. The whole day was fun.  I love having big kids that are a bit more grown up.  They didn't get grumpy as they day wore on.  

Here are a few cousins headed down to Grandma and Grandpas trunk or treat.  Their neighborhood is made up of lots of older couples who like to have grandkids around. We played games, ate good good and got a bag full of candy.  Tyler is a police man and Ella is a princess.  

 Tyler was also chosen to be the Eagle of the month in his class.  

It means he is a great kid... which he is!

(it was crazy sock day at school)

 Here is Ella doing her favorite activity, dressing up with her friends. 

(Kate and Hope)

 This was our weekend project.  We have a mound of dirt in our back yard with a nice retaining wall around it. But over time the dirt settled and made the wall settle funny.  So this weekend my great husband rebuilt the wall so it is nice and straight.  Yes he is working late into the night with a headlamp.  Talk about awesome.  I love having projects get finished and so does he!

 We celebrated cousin Michael and Jordans birthday on Sunday.  The hit of the party was the lego set present on the counter.  The boys didn't even come upstairs for cake. They were quite the whole time doing legos.... love it!

 Ella and Darren carved a pumpkin.

 The girls didn't go play legos they stayed up stairs with Grandpa.
