Halloween #1

This morning Nathan got to go carve a pumpkin with Jared at school. I had to leave early so I didn't get a picture of the finished product. The other two will carve theirs on Friday then they will do a Pumpkin parade through the gym to see everyone's jack-o-lanterns lit up.
The church where the boys go to Awanas had a Fall Festival tonight. The
boys had a great time and got lots of candy!
Before the carnival, we had a jack-o-lantern pizza.

Branson cont'd

Branson

We made a quick trip to Branson last weekend. The boys had so much fun
riding everything--not so much fun posing for pictures with all of the
pumpkins, scarecrows, etc. We discovered that Jared and Josh are big
enough to ride Powder Keg--the 2nd biggest roller coaster there. They
loved it! The picture with the dog is the "mascot" from the Fire in the
Hole ride--Joshua's favorite ride! I love how the picture on the pirate
ship, the people next to the boys look like they're freaking out and the
boys are smiling for the camera at the highest point in the ride! Javan
is in the very back of the boat on that one! The only reason the others
aren't is they are too little to ride in the back rows. They aren't
scared of anything. They only reason they aren't riding Wildfire, the
roller coaster that goes upside down is because they're too short.
Trust me, they measured several times! They are convinced if they eat
really good they'll be able to ride it next summer!
Baseball is over and soccer will be over after the games this morning.
Nathan has a couple of weeks of football officiating left so things have
slowed down considerably for us! We are definitely enjoying the cool
weather. We roasted hot dogs and had Smores last night on the fire pit.
