Leaves & Halloween

Fall has come to the northern plains. This year seems to be a late fall for us - usually by the time the twins have their birthday on the 24th - most of our trees have changed color and leaves are falling. This year - we still had some green ones in late October.


Today was a day for all hands on deck - the girls (and dad) worked on leaves all afternoon.


We did have an afternoon of wet snow last week - letting us know what is next on the schedule. Before that happens - we have to show some good leaf pictures and a few little trick-or-treaters. We have had a few beautiful days to enjoy. . .

There are lots of leaves to rake and throw - making for a fun afternoon.




and now for Halloween
We had 2 in the cat family, 2 in the dog family and one superhero!

Youngest to oldest -
David as a tiger - the amazing binkie loving tiger who can roar!


Emelia Anastasia
As the always lovable and ever bouncy Tigger appearing in her first Halloween! She enjoyed every moment of it!


And to the canine family -

Scooby Doo - or Scooty Boo - as Annie calls him. She is a halloween veteran - this being her 4th Halloween.



And Katherine Victoria - our last little puppy; she also enjoyed her first Halloween.



And the amazing Sam - saving the world from crisis and doom - every single day!



And we are off to the races. . . .




The twins stayed home with a friend and had the duty of handing out candy to all the little ghosts and goblins that came to our door (and eating as much as they could while mom and dad were away).
