Fall Festivities

Apparently I can only post our events by seasons, so this is what we've been up to this fall.

Our first adventure was to Logan to see the colors in the canyon and get pictures.  In order to make this fun for the kids, we stayed in a hotel, ate pizza and cookies while we watched a movie.  We did this last year and I think it is becoming a favorite tradition.
 
 
 
 
 

Last year our family became big fans of the PBS TV show, Arthur.  The Queen decided she wanted to be D.W. for Halloween.  Her first opportunity to show off her costume was at a neighborhood Halloween party.
 The Boy really wanted to go as a Lego Policeman.  I thought it turned out okay!
 
 
 
By the time Halloween rolled around, The Boy had decided he wanted to dress up as something else, so we looked through Grandma's costumes and everyone found something they liked.
 The Queen is wearing the same witch costume I wore when I was little.  It's seen better days, but it worked for the night.
After trick-or-treating the kids watched a scary movie (Scooby Doo) while eating dinner.
 

The next day both The Boy and The Queen had friends over to play in our rather large collection of leaves.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I'll finish up with this picture.  Ever since The Queen wanted to be D.W. last year, I thought it would be fun for us all to dress up as the Reed family because we fit so well.  So we all dressed up again for a photo-op.
 
Not too bad!
