Yesterday we went to a Halloween party at Craig's office. We started in the cafe and had pizza, cookies and juice. They took the kids pictures which they developed for us to pick up at the end of the party. After that we went trick or treating throughout the two buildings. Several of the departments had a decorating competition and went all out. There was a mine with railroad tracks, an under sea one with glow in the dark fish, Grandma's Attic and the best one was Hogwarts from Harry Potter. All the employees were dressed up as Harry Potter characters. The boys had a great time and got way too much candy.

We carved our pumpkin last night. Trevor was excited to help out but Cole wanted no part in it. He was content just watching.

I was able to go to Trevor's school Halloween party today. It was so fun seeing him and his friends dressed up. Here is Trevor showing off his costume. He was the line leader today.

They went Trick or Treating around the school. They made several stops including the office, nurses office, library and computer lab. This was to help them learn the school but also to teach them to say thank you when they are out Trick or Treating.

Cole is REALLY into Elmo. His favorite movie is "Elmo Says Boo!" Here he is dancing to one of the songs in the movie.

Today we had Trevor's school harvest party. Sadly it was pouring down rain and really windy so they had to hold it inside the school. The boys got a balloon animal, got to play pumpkin bowling and see all the class scarecrows. We also got hot dogs, chips and soda for lunch.

Here is Cole waiting for his turn to get a balloon animal. He picked out a dog.

Thursday we went to the Ferrari Farms Pumpkin Patch with our MOMS Club. The boys got to go in the bounce house, pick out a pumpkin and ride the hayride.

My secret sister gave me a brownie decorating kit as a gift. The boys helped me bake the brownies and then we decorated them. Trevor decorated his all by himself. Cole just wanted to eat all the candy.

We went to Toll House Pumpkin Patch with our MOMS Club today. The kids got to go in the bounce houses, ride on a train, ride a pony and take home a small pumpkin.

Cole loved the bounce house

Trevor loved riding the ponies. Cole didn't want anything to do with them.

Today was picture day for our MOMS Club. We went to the botanical gardens and one of the moms took pictures of the kids. I couldn't pick just one picture to post so here are all the ones taken of the boys.

Trevor had his second soccer game today. It went much better then last week. He kicked the ball in a few times and ran around with his team. Much improved!!

Here is his teams sign that they put up during the games. The team is called Green Machine.

Go Green Machine!!

We did a park cleanup for our MOMS Club service project today. The park we chose has a lot of dinosaurs and a small dinosaur playground. Trevor enjoyed pulling the rake around while Cole repeatedly went down the slide.

We got up at 4:30 AM and went to the Great Reno Balloon Race. The glow show was at 5 and dawn patrol was at 5:30. The boys loved seeing the balloons light up. We took a breakfast picnic and ate while we watched the balloons. When the sun came out they did a mass ascension launch. There were about 100 balloons that went up.
