Spiderman and Rapunzel

Parker and Sadie were so excited for Halloween this year. Their costumes had been picked out a couple of months ago, and they could hardly contain their excitement when the day finally arrived!

Ready to trick-or-treat!
With Daddy!
Me and my sweet girl.
My favorite little family!
Cousins A and Z went trick-or-treating with us! This is the meeting of the minds.
White tiger, Darth Vader, Spiderman, and Rapunzel....all ready to go.
My cousin Stephanie with her boys!
And they're off!
Waiting at a door.

Projects and the Pumpkin Patch

My parents were here for a visit during the month of October, and it should come as no surprise that while they were here we took on some home improvement projects. We installed new tile in the front entry, main bath, and laundry room. By "we" I mean mostly my Dad. 

Removing the old tile in the entry....

....and in the laundry room.
Somehow I didn't get any pictures on the actual process, nor did I get any good before pictures. Here are the best pictures that I did get. Entry before....
....and entry after!
Bathroom before....
....and bathroom after!
Laundry before (easily the most uncool flooring in the house)....
....and laundry after! We just love how everything turned out, and we are so thankful to Dad (and Mom) for helping us do so much to our house!
During their visit, we also had some fun at a local pumpkin patch! We have had some unusually and consistently mild weather so far, and it was a beautiful day to be outside.
Going down the slides!

Trying out the lasso.


The kids loved getting their faces painted!
