Halloween Celebrations and more

The kids and I checked out a local Halloween Carnival last weekend and they got to wear their costumes. They also got to do a little trick or treating and check out a very small petting zoo!

 

We also ran into our neighbor down the street at the Carnival, so we got pictures with him and his Mom!

Avery is still enjoying her Toddler Time through the library! This past week they got to have a little Halloween party.

They did some dancing to Halloween music and a costume parade.

We carved pumpkins with the kids a couple weeks ago but forgot to spray them to delay the rotting. So we got new pumpkins this weekend and carved those! So here are the first ones we carved:

And the second set of pumpkins we carved:

Avery got to wear her costume to gymnastics this past week, so here is a video of her enjoying that!

Today we got snow! It was supposed to be about 3 inches but I think we ended up with 6 inches at least!!

Here's a video of the snow falling....very large snowflakes!

For some reason Gavin really loves building a snow wall at the bottom of the slide. Here are a couple pictures.

Here is a video of Avery going down the slide with the snow wall in place:

And I will leave you with a picture of Avery reading one of the books we got at the library. This was the day we got the book, so she couldn't wait until we got home.

October So Far...

 Our October has been busy with Gavin in school, having homework and going to his Warrior Fitness Class (gymnastics). Plus Avery has her gymnastics class, toddler time through the library and they both have swimming!

Avery entertained us one day with some piano playing and singing. I sneaked a video of her:

And her is a video of her trying new tricks in gymnastics:

Then Gavin got to try a couple new things in his class:

Then at Toddler Time, Avery got to be a superhero with a mask and cape. Here she is showing her muscles.

In this video, she is doing superhero exercises.

And more new stuff in gymnastics:

Then today we did a hike in the woods to see the Fall colors. It was nice to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. Both kids did great on the hike and did not ask to be carried once! We did 2.6 miles!! Would have been a bit longer but there were cows on the trail, so we had to turn around! LOL

Fun month so far....and we are ready for Halloween!
