Halloween at School

Today was Noah's Halloween party and costume parade at school. I love his school! His teachers did all of these creative snacks... soooo cute! Here is a picture of Noah holding his orange jackolantern. His teachers hollowed out oranges and cut them into jack-o-lanterns for each kid. I can't imagine the amount of work that must have gone into them. Amazing!


Here are some of the other snacks they made: fingers (cheese sticks with a frito "nail" on the end), magic wands, bones (breadsticks with rolled up ends), ghosts, and pumpkins:

Halloween

Noah had a big day yesterday. He had a party and costume parade at school and then we went trick-or-treating last night. Here are some pics of all the fun!

Pumpkin Carving

Here are some pictures from our pumpkin carving adventure last night. Two things to take note of:
1. The swiss army knife sitting right in front of Noah...open.
2. The fact that my child has no pants on. A nod to potty training.
Please don't call social services!

Fall Festival Pics

While I was in Phoenix last weekend, Dan took Noah to Pumpkin Chunkin' and a fall festival. If you are not familiar with Pumpkin Chunkin', it's where a bunch of people get together and build trebuchets and sling shots and catapults to fling pumpkins across a field (like 100 yards or more) and watch them smash on the ground. Cool, huh? Anyway, here are some pics from their adventures:

Halloween With Horses

Today we went to Halloween with Horses. Yes, it's really called that. It's this fall celebration at an equestrian center that is about 15 minutes from our house. We went with Kate and Jason and their kids last year and it was really fun, so we thought we'd try it again. Noah loved it! Since he's older, I think he really got a lot more out of it. He went through a (little kids') Haunted House, went barn trick-or-treating, rode a pony, and went on a hay ride. He also went to a pumpkin patch and got to paint his own little pumpkin. It was really hot (like 80 degrees at the end of October...WTH???), so he only had his costume on for part of the time. But he had a blast anyway. Here are some pictures...
