Halloween 2009

I'm a SO behind on updates... sorry! Changing positions at work and farm life are keeping me super busy. And when I'm not busy, rest is golden! :)

Halloween was a lot of fun. Jared was a Transformer... Megatron, the bad guy. Chloe was a cute little fairy. We started the day by going to the United Prairie Bank Halloween Party at Vogel Arena and then picked up Dad and made the usual stops in the evening. Jared is finally understanding the whole "Trick-or-Treat" thing so that makes it even more fun. The kids got tons of treats... Daddy was so excited! :) Here are some pics from our day.

Just being goofy

Jared and I taped together 6 big pieces of paper so I could trace his whole body. He thought it was SO cool! I drew the face and he added his own little drawings. I hung it on the basement door and he keeps adding stuff like a tractor with really big wheels. Such cheap entertainment!

He's getting really good at writing his name.

Chloe's 6 Month Pictures

I took the kids to Sears last Friday for Chloe's 6 month photo shoot. It was a cruddy day to travel (rain and sleet) but we had a good time. Chloe did great! And of course big brother had to get in on a few shots too.

And... we're done!

LCS Halloween Party

I took the kids to the Lafayette Charter School Halloween Party on Sunday. I didn't have a costume for Jared yet so we borrowed one from Hunter Hulke. Jared was SUPER excited to be Scooby Doo! Too bad the costume was a little snug... okay... very snug! I just had to laugh cuz he could care less. They both had a good time and it was fun to see all of the little trick-or-treaters that we know.

Getting a tattoo

Chloe kept an eye on her brother

Decorating a gourd

Crazy mask project

Hold on tight... but don't squeeze too hard!

Yep... it's snug!

She's so dang cute in this costume!

Pumpkinfest 2009

We went out to the annual Pumpkinfest at the Domeier farm today. It wasn't the best weather but at least it wasn't raining! Jared had fun rolling pumpkins down the hill in the pasture and checking out all of the scarecrows. At least he didn't ask to buy a pumpkin this year... we have about a hundred at home that we grew. =)
