Halloween 2017

It's their 2nd favorite holiday (of course, Christmas is 1st)! Lotta love puppies, so that was her choice this year.  Papa loves to go all out on his costume.  This year he was a YipYip.  The kids didn't know what this was, so we had to show them a video, but the YipYip just tickled Lotta's funny bone!

 A suave devil. We voted.  Brennen was the best this year.

 BB8

 

James was allowed to join Skylar's gang this year and he got to be one of her T-birds.

 

 Skylar's pink ladies and t-birds. The other T-bird is Skylar's boyfriend, Carter.

 Different generations!

Getting the Jack-o-lantern's ready

 You can't carve your pumpkins to early or they will rot! So, since Halloween is only a few days away, it is time. 

High school swimming districts

Skylar's chance to qualify for the high school state swim meet.  Only the top 24 swimmers in each event on this day in the state get to swim at the state swim meet. A fun day, but Skylar did not make it.  Hopefully, next year!

David's box

Favorite piece of mail of the year!  Everyone loves David's annual Halloween box.  They could not wait to get it open.  OF course, there was a little fight over who got what piece of candy...

Marching Band Competition

Skylar had her last marching band competition today.  They performed well and received a one (I'm told by people who know something about music that this is good) and were very happy with how they did.

Pumpkinland 2017

 You can't have Halloween without pumpkins and a trip to Pumpkinland.  The older kids had a race through the large corn maze (Skylar and Hannah won), while Charlotta and I did the animals and the small corn maze.

 Then it was time to pick our pumpkins out.

 We are all happy with our choices!
