Saturday we went up to Queens for Miles’ Halloween Themed 3rd Birthday. Noah’s Halloween costume wasn’t here yet so we went with a back up.

The siren is still a hit.

Once Noah said “hi”, the costume came off and he ran to play in the sand.

Mr. T pitied the fool that put Noah in a costume.

A spider (Miles) and Chris.

Ed Grimley.

Chris’ back up/backwards costume.

Tim and Ladonna had all these games for the kids to play. Like this eating a donut on a string with no hands game.

I witnessed cheating.

Then a game where everyone became mummies.

Even Chris and his friend got into it.

Then there was a witches broom race.

Refreshments.

“Trick or treating”.

Cake time.

Cupcake decorating.

Face stuffing.

Saying “bye” through a sugar coma.

Thanks for inviting us Tim and Ladonna!

Sunday morning we drove up to Connecticut with Nana and Grampa to check out this spot that offered all the great Fall things. A corn maze, pumpkins, hay rides.. live bluegrass…

Goats. Not sure why they didn’t make it on the sign.

I see your pumpkin shortage and raise you a pumpkin launcher! Ballin!!

Andy, Aransas, Savannah, Derby, Scott, Dawn, and Chester piled in a van and met us for the muddiest, bumpiest hay ride in history.

Hay was a hit.

Saying good-bye to Nana and Grampa who had to drive back to NH.

Grandparents are gone, break out the band!

This might have been a slow song.

Chester trying to make some tough decisions.

Derby’s handler.
