Raking Leaves

The leaves have been coming down the last few weeks, so we spent an afternoon raking up and playing in the leaves. Allie loved it. Now we have to figure out how to pick up the leaves that are on the snow.

Halloween

Allie really got into Halloween this year. On Friday we visited dad at his office and went trick-or-treating around his work. Allie got to the point when she saw an adult she would just ask "Where is your candy?" Dad and Allie got to go trick-or-treat at a few house on the street, but came back in because of the rain. Between dad's work and the few neighbors she got enough candy to eat and share with mom and dad. Zach was an elephant this year.

Allie's favorite part of her doggie costume was her doggie nose.

Allie and Zachary

Two of my sisters were in town over Halloween, so Amanda planned a Halloween party. We carved pumpkins, played games and decorated cookies. Dad and Allie started to draw a face on the pumpkin to carve, but Allie decided that she didn't want her pumpkin to get carved. She ended up just coloring the pumpkin.
