A fun weekend!

What a weekend this is turning out to be! The boys have been having so much fun!

It started out by Trick or Treating at the downtown businesses. They got to dress in their costumes and get some candy. They even got to see Austin's teacher while they were out.

Then Daddy took them to a movie. While they were gone I was able to rake some leaf piles together.

They seemed to enjoy playing in them. Good thing too, it rained last night, so the leaves are now all wet!

Then we got ready to go to the Hallelujah Party at our church. I always enjoy not having to cook supper. But they have so much more!

They had hanging donuts. Adam is trying to catch his here. When it was over his face was covered in powder, but it was so fun!



They had a story read by a gentleman at our church. Austin and Mike then cleaned and carved the pumpkin as the story was being read. I forget what the story was, but it went with the activities of the pumpkin.




There were also miniature pony rides. This pony was no higher than mid-thigh on me. They attached a cart and gave rides to the children.


Austin played a ball toss game and won a new puppet. This one is named Sam.


Then we came home to trick or treat in our neighborhood. We live in a neighborhood with a lot of older people. They love to see the boys come to their house and see how they have grown over the past year. At one time or another both boys wore this costume. It got a lot of laughs.
Last Sunday, we went to a different church than usual. Austin found out that there was going to be a puppet show today. So he definitely wanted to go back! Today, we went to the same church and Adam and Austin were able to participate in the puppet show. They were very excited and did a good job for the little bit that they were able to practice.
Now, we are ready for a quiet Sunday afternoon.
