Leaves, pumpkins and tricks or treats!

The word "fall" in this neighborhood usually accompanies another word.."dread." Not because we can't stand the season, but because we live in the woods and there are literal FEET of leaves in our yard.
As overwhelming as the clean up can be, it still brings fun and laughter into this household;

Of course, it's also time for pumpkins;

Darby is turning into a super cool kid. When asked what she wanted her pumpkin to look like she said, "like this"

Photobucket
"no..I mean..like THIS"

After all the carving was done, we asked her to try and look like her pumpkin;

Oh no..she's not done, and this one might be the best;

Last but not least, you have Halloween itself. There were Jonas Brothers at the school parade;

There was Tinkerbell and her friend Hello Kitty;

And there was the Cheerleader (by day) and her groupies;

And by night..we had a little indian girl;

We had a great pre-trick-or-treating-time dinner with some special friends, had fun watching them get their kids ready at our home and off we went....CANDY!

Besides the fact that Darby looks like a soldier standing at attention and it was freezing cold out, I love my fairy, indian, Kevin Jonas and gypsy girls. Hope your Halloween was frightfully fun!

Dread doesn't begin to tell how I feel about leaves. But, the fun the girls have in the leaves makes up for the hard work!

I wish we could do Halloween night again. That was fun!

You are awesome! My angel with her wings!
