Here is Isaac's school picture for kindergarten.  I think he looks handsome, but I am a little biased...

Halloween

This year for Halloween, Isaac decided to be a dragon/dinasour.  I made the tail and the hat, and put the spikes along the back of his shirt.  He liked how it turned out, so I consider it a success. 

 This was his parade at school.  Of course he forgot his tail in his classroom. 

 Emily wanted to be a princess of course.  So we found the dress, crown and wand.  I didn't really make any of it.  But at least I put it together for under $10. 

 I also put her hair in rag the night before, and this is how it turned out.  It was really cute and she loved it.  All day she kept tossing it around and saying, "My hair is curly!"  Another success.

 Jared was a penguin.  This is the same costume that Isaac wore on his second Halloween.  (Though Isaac was too tall for it, and his feet stuck out the bottom.)  But Jared was the cutest penguin you ever did see!  At least in my own, completely unbiased opinion. 

 For dinner that night we had jack-o-lantern pizza.

 And then Dad took the kids trick or treating around our nieghborhood while I staid at home to pass out candy.  It was a perfect night too, really warm weather.  Emily didn't even wear a coat and she was fine. 

It was a good Halloween, and now of course the kids have a ton of candy.  Emily would eat it all in one day if I let her.  Isaac would forget he had it, and will probably still have some come next summer.  It's so funny to see the difference between the two of them.  At least it gives me a stash of candy to eat as well.  They are more than willing to share with my luckily.  :)

Pumpkins

This year, all of our pumpkins came from our very own garden!  The kids had a blast doing pumpkins.  Isaac did most of the cleaning out by himself.  Dad helped him carve it out. 

 

 Emily decided she wanted to paint her pumpkin again this year.  Though when she saw Isaac having so much fun, she was sad she painted it.  (For like 5 min)

Jared just chilled in his highchair, enjoying life.

This was a gift from the Garners.  We ran out of orange pumpkins though, so we had to use a green one that was still trying to grow.  We got a lot of comments on this pumpkin though.  Everyone thought it was pretty cool. 

The kids had a great time doing pumpkins this year.
