Halloween Fun!

Remember this? Me too. Sigh.

This year we were able to do a little more for Halloween, since we have a 1 YEAR old rather than a 1 week old! :)

Earlier in October we did some fun pumpkin carving with our Small Group friends from church!

Jeremiah even got to go for a ride in his friend Nathan's dad's tractor! Obviously a highlight of his life. :) Hope was not walking yet at that time, so she just crawled around the greenhouse getting dirty, pushed vehicles around, and generally had a great time!

The weather was looking iffy for Halloween (of course!), so we made a last minute decision to get the kids dressed up on Friday afternoon to do Zeeland's downtown trick-or-treating. The weather was sunny and not too chilly, so it was perfect!

Ready for some candy!

Jeremiah ran into some friends at the post office!

He was a little hesitant to get near these guys for a picture until the lady handing out candy told him they were just regular mailmen inside the costumes.

The elephant found some candy!

That was the only trick-or-treat outing I got pics of. But we were not done! The weather on Halloween was chilly and rainy, but it was just drizzly in the morning. So we headed out right at 10 for Holland's downtown trick-or-treating. We went up and down the street, and then we were done. And we only got a tiny bit wet!

And then we had to stop by our church's Trunkfest in the evening. It was indoors, so no worries about the weather! J had fun seeing his friends and getting candy, and our elephant waddled around being cute. J even got his face painted! He was very sad that he had to take a shower when we got home and it was going to wash off, so we had to take a picture to remember it!

And then miraculously our weather turned gorgeous and warm! Hope and I made sure to get out each day last week to enjoy the 70 degree temps and sunshine!

Who needs a stroller?? Not me!

And just for fun, I did a side-by-side of Jeremiah and Hope both at 1 year old!

Definitely siblings! :)

And now we are looking forward to the holidays, and a trip to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving!!
