Halloween that is.  I'm posting my recently completed layouts.  Then I need to do some other wrapping...the kind that disguises holiday gifts.  Of course, I still have ALL of my holiday shopping to do before I can even think about that.  I've really started feeling the pressure this week!

Good chance I won't post before then...so hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

And finally some pictures from the actual day. 

Halloween started off with Maddy's class party:

The party was a great success.  Maddy kept her Dorothy costume on the rest of the day and into

Trick-or-Treating:

Thomas aka Spiderman joined us again this year!

Preston did a pretty good job of keeping up with Maddy and Thomas.  And they all scored BIG in the candy department! 

Two more celebrations before the actual day:

First Auntie took the kids to Uncle David's office for some festivities and candy early in the week:

And can't forget the PUMPKIN PATCH! We drove out of town this year to a pumpkin farm and fed goats/sheep/cows, went on a hay ride, & picked pumpkins.  I think a new tradition has been born.

until next post ---h

This year Halloween was extra fun because the costumes got to make lots of appearances.

I'm splitting up these posts because I have LOTS of pictures to share.

First we celebrated in Houston with Ben & Silvia & fam...they hosted a great party last weekend, complete with a bounce house and apple-bobbing (Ethan was very helpful to Noah in his search for an apple.)

Aside from Halloween festivities, we had a great time hanging out with family.  We also got to see Curtis, Lorraine, & the boys.

And had a wonderful lunch with the grandparents (can you believe this gorgeous October weather!)  And the spread Grandmother put together was amazing...esp given the short notice we gave her.  No surprise there...she does everything perfectly!

And we had a lot of fun watching the boys soccer games...Maddy & Preston got into the action too:

Hmmm...what might we be doing with all this wood?  We started our weekend by meeting Lorraine at the shop and picking out our new wood floor!!!  Won't happen until spring probably, but I can't wait!!!
