Halloween

Cal's costume came out great:


























After an hour and a half in the neighborhood, Cal had a huge haul of goodies:

Vomit pumpkin!

This is becoming an annual thing!

  

Alana helped!  Here she is trying to look maniacal:

Caleb's scout awards

Caleb got a badge for attending summer camp, a fireman's badge, and a badge for swimming.

Alana's BD party

  What a terrific party!  10 little girls running around the house, terrorizing the cats and bunny!  We had fun, though, and they loved the bunny theme and the bunny cupcakes.

Giant chocolate chip cookie - I did the lettering and Alana did the decorating.

Alana came to work with me today because there was no school:



We had lunch at the Chinese restaurant nearby - sesame chicken seems to be her favorite thing to eat these days; I had pretty decent chicken and green beans with garlic sauce:


On the bus on the way home:

Paintball

I bought discount passes online last spring, thinking Cal and Matt could go over the summer, but we never went.  So Cal and Jake played today, the weather was amazing.



Alana spent the whole time collecting unexploded paint balls:

We rescued this cutie pie from our cruel kitty.

The mouse escaped (no surprise) but Rosie was on the prowl.
