Halloween Catch Up

We had a very busy Halloween week here at our house.  First, I had my halloween costume and decoration contest at work.  Then had to hustle over to Harrison's school to put on the "Harvest Party" and then we went trunk or treating, followed by, of course, trick or treating in our neighborhood. 
The theme for this year's contest at work was "TV show"; you had to select a TV show, dress like a character and decorate your office like the show.  Here are a few of my co-workers:

 At Harrison's Harvest Party we did a few fun things: We decorated mini-pumpkins for the kids to take home, we decorated (and ate) sugar cookies and we had a scarecrow making contest.  The kids were suppose to take a bag full of supplies and build a scarecrow like this:

But then one of the boys got the idea that HE was the scarecrow and the contest turned into this:

And this:

Doesn't she look pregnant? They stuffed all the newspaper up into her belly and no where else. The kids had a blast! And then of course, it was Halloween and Harrison dressed up as .....(for the third year in a row....)

A ninja:

Here's the cookie and pumpkin portion of the Harvest party.  I'm already busy planning the next Holiday Party for the kids- there are 34 kids in his class and it gets crazy in there. He's teacher deserves a medal!

2nd Annual Apple Hill trip

Mom and Dad are in town for a few days for a visit before the holidays.  I'm so happy that they were able to visit us and we were able to do so many things.  We took a long drive up to North Lake Tahoe for the day and had a great lunch in the beautiful autumn leaves.  We celebrated Harrison's birthday, again, with pizza, arcade games, presents and brownies. And we took our 2nd Annual trip to Apple Hill and ate peach cobler, berry cobler, apple donuts, apple cider, carmels apples and fresh vanilla ice cream.  Somehow we managed to leave Apple Hill without eating any apple pie.  Can't wait to go back next year - delicious!

Just a few cute pics from this month!

Harrison's 9th Birthday!

We had a slumber party last weekend for Harrison's 9th birthday party. I swear, the years are flying by so quickly- it's crazy!! The boys had a great time skateboarding, playing legos, playing video games and were only up until midnight! :) And then wide awake at 6 am the next morning! It took a while to recover from that weekend....

Max's First Trip to the Dog Park

Max is old enough to go to the dog park now- he just turned 5 months old.  He did very well and wasn't too afraid of the other, bigger dogs.  He plays fetch really well when James throws the tennis ball, but sometimes forgets that he's playing fetch half way through! I love the one that shows how floppy he's ears are!!

Last Days of Summer....This summer we....

Hung out in Vegas!

Ate Icecream!

And laid by the pool!

Ah, sweet, sweet summer...you'll be missed.

(Especially when it's 34 degrees outside while I'm walking to work!)
