Trick-or-Treat and Happy Halloween!

A caterpillar, a tiger, a pink unicorn rider, and a lion too cowardly to wear his mane. They came home with lots of candy. Ryan and I tried to convince them that caterpillars, tigers, unicorns, and lions don't eat candy, but they didn't buy that. Hopefully they will fall asleep sometime before 10:00 tonight!

Pumpkins on the Porch

I've had a lot of pumpkins on my porch. These are by far the cutest. That's Rylan (2 yrs) and Lila (3.5 yrs) yesterday on the front porch with their pumpkins. This is Alaina (1 yr) and Emily (2.5 yrs) back in 2003 with theirs.

Tunnel Vision

Lovin these pictures of the kids going down the tunnel slide at Logan Park. We stopped at the park when we were in the Seattle area on Friday. Emily and Alaina used to play there as toddlers. They have added some new things since we moved away. One of the new things was swings!

Boys and their toys

Rylan is all boy! If he had his wish he would be outside for most of the day. Trucks, excavators, and lawn tractors are all very exciting pieces of equipment! Daddy and Rylan are like two peas in a pod. They love toys!

Applesauce and cookies

Fall is here - time to make applesauce! Two different ladies from church supplied us with bags of baking apples so this morning Lila and I got busy, peeled them and made applesauce. One of these days I'm sure technology will allow us to attach "scents" with our emails and blog postings. If it were possible, I would share with you all the yummy smell of baking apples. After we had the apples simmering on the stove we made a batch of cookies. Lila picked chocolate chip. Her favorite part is licking the mixer beater!
