Halloween

The kids were at their mom and step-dad's for Halloween, but they sent me the pictures. Ethan was a swamp monster and Julia was a boy cheerleader.

Carving Pumpkins

Ethan picked out a huge pumpkin, but when we got it home and opened it we found out that it was rotten so we had to throw it away. Craig picked out a pumpkin that looked like it had warts all over it so it didn't need any decorating. (The wart-like things were so hard you couldn't carve it even if you wanted to) Julia was the only one that decorated her pumpkin.

Craig used the color accent setting on our camera for the shots below:

Baking Apple Pies

Julia and I made apple pies last weekend. Julia is allergic to cinnamon so she made one without it and I made one with cinnamon and they both turned out great. It was the first time for baking apple pies for both of us. We had fun making them and of course eating them too.

Apple Orchard & Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to Kuipers Farm last weekend for apple and pumpkin picking. Unfortunately, the apple picking was over for the season, but we still bought apples at the store. We also picked out pumpkins and cleaned them.

Cleaning the pumpkins (Julia did not want me to take anymore pictures!)

Do you see Bella? She loves to go everywhere with us in her bag.
