Halloween and some other stuff
Sophia was our pumpkin carving queen. She proudly scooped out the guts of her pumpkin and Max's. He was very greatful!! And couldn't believe she would touch the guts with her bare hands. She loved that it grossed him out.
Henry and his jack-o-lantern. Henry looked at pictures of pumpkins and pointed to the kind of eyes, nose, ect. he wanted.
Alex cleaned, designed and carved his pumpkin almost entirely on his own. I helped a little but not much.
Max and his jack-o-lantern.
Our traditional Halloween pic on the couch before we trick-or-treat pose. Left to right, Timmy as a dragon (thank you Aunt Kathy), Sophia as a fairy princess (thank you Jensen/Heathman (sorry if I spelled that wrong) families, recognize the dress?), Henry as Bob the builder, Alex's friend Anthony as Shortround from Indiana Jones, Alex as Indiana Jones, and Max as a Ninja.
Ready to trick - or- treat.
Well you might only appreciate these pictures if you watch Dora, but I know some of your kids do and so you do too. Anyway, Sophia made her own Backpack (Dora's Backpack that talks.). If you look closely you might be able to see Backpack's face, and you see Map (also Dora's friend) on the side of Backpack. The construction and plans were all done by Sophia, I helped with the straps a little, but she had the idea how to make them. Now squint really hard and you see Boots (Dora's friend who is a monkey) with a back pack and Dora holding Backpack. The two of them went on many adventures that day, stopping swiper and ending saying, "WE DID IT!"
(When I showed Sophia this picture. She said, that looks like Backpack but I don't look much like Dora, really.)
Here's Timmy's latest trick. Isn't he proud? (This is Timmy standing on his own. I couldn't get it to play for me, I'm hoping it will work now. Sorry if doesn't.)

Awesome!! I hope they all got a lot of candy trick-or-treating, their costumes looked great! The jack-o-lanterns are very cool. Sophia is the perfect American "Dora" and Henry makes a fabulous "Boots". Timmy looked very proud standing and everyone sounded very excited for him. Love you all and can't wait to see everyone again!
your kids are getting so big. sophia looks all grown up!
