Halloween 2009

We had a mercenary, a bee, and an elephant!

Aidan "got it" this year and was delighted to get more candy and Ella and Tristan had races to see who could be the first to ring the doorbell! We cut it a bit short this year because it was so cold outside and the kids (and the 2 of us) don't need all the candy anyways!

Fall is definitely here- we've moved on from warm short sleeved days to the crisp days of autumn. I've even had to turn the heat on a few times to take the chill out of our house in the morning. This past weekend we took the kids to Graue Mill for a walk around the lake. I think everyone in the area had the same idea! The colors were beautiful- we're not quite at full color yet, but close. We might have to take another trip back next weekend.
