Trick-or-Treat!

First, we got to trick-or-treat at the hospital while Daddy was working... 

Thoroughly enjoying the candy.

Our friends brought their 10-month-old cheeseburger over and this picture shows the success we had posing all 3 of them for a picture.

Delene's door!  Spencer's losing interest - 2 hours after his bedtime.

Delene and what appears to be a stuffed kangaroo.

Halloween Eve

Ben's house for his birthday/Halloween party... 

One of Ben's biggest fans.

Pushing a mechanical dog around like a car, of course. 

The kangaroo and the "fairy princess" looking less than thrilled to be posing for this picture.

Much better.

Cake...everywhere.

Great-Grandpa Beach!

Wiping off a kiss from Aunt Susie...Tessa thinks it's hilarious.

Tessa and Spencer were trying to dance like Joey during a Wii game but the cameo by Grandma may be the best part...or at least the funniest.

Park Day!

One of their favorite places...

Weeee!

Halloween cards from Great-Grandpa & Grandma Tompkins!

He brought them all the luck they needed.

Apple Farm!

While Daddy was on a fellowship interview in Alabama, the kids and I stayed with Grandma & Grandpa Driesner and got to go to an apple farm. The best part: a cat that wasn't wild.

The girl loves slides.

I'd say he does too.

Plowing the fields...

...with help.

Her kitty friend.

Need Some Zzzz's

Spencer was eating some lunch and just couldn't fight the sleepys...

Pumpkin Patch

On Tuesday, we were just about the only ones at the pumpkin patch (probably because it was freezing) and got to go on a hayride, feed the animals and take home some pumpkins. Exciting stuff for a 3- and 1-year old, cold or not.

Hayride!

Goooats!

Feeding the hens like a little farm girl.

"What the heck are those?"

Hanging in a paddy wagon.

It's apparently strong enough for adult riders.
