Halloween (and the end of October)

LOTS OF PICTURES
Will took Seth (1-on-1) to the state fair. (Of course, Carolyn was a little jealous, but we made our own funnel cakes at home. Will took my camera to the fair, so home pictures are still on Rob’s old phone – he’ll have to get them off later.)


The next night, we made sugar cookies (“shape cookies”). That is a rare occasion around here b/c cleaning up flour and icing after kids – not so fun.





Jared was very meticulous about icing his – note his face when Kristen tried to get insider info from “the artist” on what the icing designs were meant to be!



Beth tired of being pregnant (this is 8 months/36 weeks) – I am now 37 and 2 weeks away from induction – yea!

The next night we went over to a friends and did jack-o-lanterns (kids drew with markers on little ones). Seth drew the face for the big one and Rob did the carving (I didn’t want to get down on the floor and I don’t like using a knife past cooking – he gets the jack-o-lantern job!)





The next week…
Seth had a birthday (with a brownie cake)



And we all went to trunk or treat at church
The kids: Mario, Pippi Longstocking, a kitty, and “baby Pippi”







More: a bum, a pumpkin, and Seth found a bigger Mario





More: a sea captain, a chef, and her cupcake





And the cupcake enjoying (at least the icing from) her first cupcake!

And the granddaughters got new PJ’s for the cold months….
