Halloween

The cousins Jake and J.J. at their first Trick or Treating!
Jake is already eating a sucker, and J.J. was napping.

This is actually a Hubbard squash that we got from Mapleside farms.
We thought it would make a really cool alien head pumpkin.

This is my pumpkin.

J.J.'s "ghost" pumpkin.

Our version of the cast from The Wizard of Oz.

Well, I finally learned how to get the pictures from the digital camera to my laptop. Now I can post pictures! We really had a great time at our house for Halloween. Kayla wanted to dress up as Dorothy, and the idea snowballed into an entire Wizard of Oz theme. All of the parts were covered (well, the major parts). J.J. and Jake sat next to each other in the double stroller, and J.J. quickly fell asleep. After an hour, we decided to return home and pass out candy. Three of my high school students visited me. First they threw a foil ball at Jeremy, then they turned on my sprinkler (which was spraying the side of the house) and I found them lying on the small hill that is in the back of our yard. They ran (and I laughed) and then they came back a few minutes later for candy. Before they left, they rolled a trunk full of pumpkins onto my driveway. I took them inside because they were nice pumpkins. In fact, tonight my doorbell rang and two more pumpkins were on the door step.
