Fall Festivals and Halloween 2011

October has become jam-packed with fun fall activities. My friend said they should just cancel school in October in order to fit everything in. While I myself am happy to send the little darlings off every morning, I do agree that it's a lot ... but SO MUCH fun! Last weekend we went to Noah's school fall festival where he was transformed into a ... ferocious tiger!
Ever seen a tiger riding a pony?

Eliza was thrilled to take her first pony ride. Now the real question: Will Daddy be buying her a pony for her second birthday? (I assure you the answer is no.)
Noah loved the petting zoo ...
Eliza was less enthusiastic.

Last week we also had our church fall festival.

Eliza seemed a little appalled that we would dress her up like a strawberry and take her out in public. So humiliating.

But when she got over herself, she had a great time.

Of course, there were lots of treats,

and games ... and what do you know?

More ponies! (Ever seen a shark ride a pony?)



One of Noah's classmates had a Halloween party last week with lots of backyard fun.

And on Halloween day, his class paraded around the school in costume ...

On Halloween night, it's tradition to have our great friends Ava and Eli and parents over for dinner and, of course, trick-or-treating!

I think this was year 5 with this growing (in number and size) gang.

Enjoying the fruits (er, candy) of their labor.

Count Shark-ula!
