Halloween!

The day before Halloween the kids went to a dance. Dad made their knight costumes mostly out of duct tape! They made the helmets themselves, and Jane made her horse, Shadowfax.

We had dropped off cookies at the school early, so the kids ran around outside before the dance started.

Jane had a soccer game Halloween morning. I liked that the other teams's colors were orange and black!

pumpkin carving

We carved pumpkins a few days before Halloween. The pumpkins were big!

Jane was in a morbid mood, I guess.

ladder

We went to a part of the orchard we had never been to and the kids were excited to discover the ladders! They didn't actually pick any apples, but they had fun climbing.

goalie

Jane played her first game as goalie! It was the most challenging game they've had so far. The girls on the other team were much bigger! Jane's team lost but she had some great saves.

During the second half she played her usual position.

13 year anniversary

We spent our anniversary hiking and learning about (and tasting) beer. I can't imagine much better than that!

It was very cold during Malcolm's soccer game yesterday! We even saw a little snow on the way there!
