Happy Halloween and Happy Fall

Happy Halloween

Grayson as Death Stroke, Declan the Ghost, Tristan as the Red Hood, Colin as Dead Shot and Liam as Captain Boomerang.

Daddy put a lot of time and work into making the three big boys costumes again this year. I love how excited they all are for the day. They decided on everyone being a bad guy from a super hero series. I'd say Halloween on a Monday makes things a bit crazy but I guess Halloween in general makes the day crazy.
The Red Hood (from Batman) Dead Shot (from Green Arrow)

Declan's costume was made by Gramma and Mommy added a few layers. It was the forever growing Ghost. It was made from cheese cloth and would stretch while he wore it. I think it turned out very cute.  Liam was bit hot as Captain Boomerang.

Mr. Grayson certainly did not want a cute little costume he insisted on Death Stroke a bad guy from Green Arrow. I think he just really liked the fact that it had a sword.

Some pre-Halloween fun included a trunk-or-treat at Gramma's church. Tristan and Colin decorated her trunk. It turned out very cute.


Of course, we had a gooey fun time gutting and carving pumpkins.



We also had a few good days at the pumpkin patches. One day we all spent the afternoon exploring  at a new place. However, they did not have the tasty treat of apple donuts so we had to go check out another place when Liam and Declan had the day off from school. 

The orchard we went to just a few minutes away in Council Bluffs the boys were able to pick apples. They were so excited and had a great time climbing in trees and picking apples. 




We also were able to pick our own pumpkins from the patch. Even though we were there pretty late in the season there were many to chose from and they were all huge!

Declan and Grayson found that rolling the pumpkin down the hill was much easier.





We also went to Skinny Bones Pumpkin Patch with the whole family earlier in the week. They had many fun activities for everyone to do. 

Colin all skin and bones these days.

 The jumping pillow is always a fun time.





 We had some scary encounters.



Daddy had fun in the crooked house.

Declan on an epic bike ride.


Happy Fall
