Halloween

Halloween fell on a Saturday this year which was nice since we didn’t have to rush home and get ready and eat dinner, yadda yadda yadda. The forecast called for rain, which wasn’t so nice.

Gwynn dressed as Sheriff Callie. She’s not using her lasso effectively.

Still not right.

Cheesin’ for the camera.

Much better use of the lasso Gwynn.

“How much candy are you going to get Luke?”

“Woof Woof!”

Looks just like a real Dalmatian.

We had to trick or treat with umbrellas, but we also had Uncle Jack, Grace and Kate too. Here Uncle Jack went to get Luke because there was a scary monster handing out candy.

“Wait for me!” Wait for me” – Luke every single house.

Pick it up Gwynn!

IMG_1630

Heading back.

IMG_1631

Luke didn’t mind the rain.

IMG_1632

Happy as a clam.

IMG_1633

“This is ruining my hair.”

IMG_1634

The parents get to carry all the candy back. It also means we get to pick out the stuff we like.

Last few houses.

Wet, but content.

Luke and Aunt Jen.

Everyone dividing up their loot.

Kate jumping on Uncle Jack was hilarious to Luke.

IMG_1657

Covering Aunt Jen in stuffed animals was also amusing.

Halloween at Publix

Halloween evening called for rain and we heard Publix was doing some trick or treating at their store at 4:00pm so we headed there in case we’d get rained out of the real thing.

They had several areas set up in the store with little games for the kids to play. It was cute.

IMG_1621

Not even close Luke.

IMG_1622

Nope.

IMG_1623

Spoiler alert – she missed. But she  got candy anyway and that’s what’s important.

IMG_1624

Luke getting instructions which he will immediately ignore.

IMG_1625

All smiles from the kiddos.

Fall Festival

Uncle Jack was taking Grace and Kate to a Fall Festival at Bluff Park United Methodist Church and asked us if we’d like to tag along. We NEVER turn down a Fall Festival!

Gwynn getting a treat.

The old fishing game… gets them every time.

Focused like a laser.

Luke had no idea what he was trying to do here.

IMG_1596

Gwynn, while excited, also had no idea.

IMG_1598

Decorating a pumpkin.

IMG_1599

No caving here, just putting stickers on pumpkins.

IMG_1600

A proud artist.

Enjoying some Steel City Pops after they finished at the festival. Notice Gwynn is gnawing on her popsicle like a dog on a bone instead of smiling for the camera.
