Halloween

We had a fun and busy Haloween!  Our evening began with a party at Clint's office.  Nina and Popeye were there, the kids were so happy to see them!
 Don't be scared, they're nice pirates.  Mostly...

 We left the party at Keller Williams and hit  the streets! 


After some fun outside we moved the party inside for dinner.  Before we left, I got everything ready for a fun Haloween dinner.


 Before the kids went to bed, we had to have some candy!  The kids had so much fun checking out their loot!
And while the big kids got ready for bed, I tried my first Halloween costume on Elizabeth.  She makes a pretty cute little clown!

Neewollah

We got up bright and early Saturday morning to drive up to Independence, KS for Neewollah.  It's a huge Fall festival with a big parade and carnival.  Grammy and Grampy joined us for a day full of fun! 
 We claimed our spot on the parade route and settled in to watch the floats and get some candy!


 Elizabeth got tired of sitting so she got to spend some time with Dad behind us


 The parade wore Marlee out.  She took a little cat nap while we got lunch.
Lane spotted the Farris Wheel and was so excited to ride it.  Clint and Lane rode it while we all watched and waved.




 After the Farris Wheel, Clint and I rode the wavy slide with Lane and Marlee.  They loved it!
When we left Neewollah we stopped at the pumpkin patch that Lane visited with his Pre-K class last year. 





We had fun walking around looking at all the pumpkins.  Before we left, I wanted to get a few cute pictures of Elizabeth with the pumpkins, she wasn't very excited about having a photo shoot. 


 And while I took pictures of Busy, Lane and Mar loved the slide. 

We all went home exhausted!  What a fun day!

Wagon Ride

Clint took the kids around the block for a wagon ride tonight.  This was Elizabeth's first time to leave the driveway with the big kids.  She loved going with them, and I think they loved having her.
 







After their lap with Dad, Lane pulled the girls around the yard.

Backyard Cookout

Grammy and Grampy invited us over for a backyard cookout.  It was a great night to be outside!
 Lane and Marlee had a great time wrestling in the grass while we got dinner ready.
Busy Bee was content in her warm bear outfit in her high chair.  She had lots of people to watch.

Lane and Mar had a little love fest going on.  They sat at their own little tables and had the best time chatting and eating.
 
A little snip it of Clint playing with the kids.  He was exhausted by the end of the night!
