Fall Leaves

Last Saturday we were working on cleaning up the front yard.  Paul had raked the leaves into a pile and, of course, Lilly wanted to play in it.  Will was over playing at a friends house or he would have been in on it, too.

 

 

Halloween 2013

We made our annual trip to the Gardner Village Witch Festival a couple of weekends ago.  The kids got to wear their costumes, but Will didn't get to wear his face paint.

 

They started to get really tired of us taking pictures of them after a while.  :-)

They had a small petting zoo set up with some farm animals.  Grandma helped Lilly and Will feed the animals.

Will always looks forward to the pony ride.  This was the first year that Lilly was big enough to go, too.  She loved it!  She is slightly obsessed with horses.

 

Before we left the kids got to hold the bunny.  Will did good but Lilly needed some help from Daddy.  She couldn't keep the bunny from sliding off of her lap.

 

On Halloween Grandma Rhonda and Grandpa Bob came over early to help me get the kids ready.  After we got Will's make-up on he looked really spooky.  He decided it was better not to smile so that he would look scary.

 

Paul and the kids went trick-or-treating with a group of neighborhood kids and other parents.  Lilly made it around about 2 streets before she decided that she was done.  Will went through most of our neighborhood.

I stayed behind and handed out candy at our house.  We went through everything that I had bought by 7:45 pm, so we shut off the lights, but there were people still going around our neighborhood until almost 9:30 pm.  By then the kids were washed and in bed, and Paul and I were in PJ's watching TV.  I know... we're a wild bunch at the Grover house!
