Halloween

Well, since we just celebrated Thanksgiving, I figure it's a good time to share our Halloween pictures. Needless to say, I'm a bit behind on updating...but, better late than never!

This year we tried a new pumpkin patch and took the long drive down to Woodburn to the same place the wooden shoe tulip festival is held. It was great! A very different experience from the Lee Farms where we usually go - much more rustic. We lucked out and even though it was a beautiful day there weren't many people there. We had a great time!

 We also attended the "Big Boo" at Henry's school - the annual Halloween carnival. It was SUPER crowded, but we still had a great time playing all the games and enjoying seeing everyone in their costumes.

This was a "treasure hunt" in barkchips. Nora didn't want a prize - she wanted to keep a barkchip.

Carving pumpkins!

 This year Henry was a policeman - clearly he took his role seriously - and Nora was a ladybug. She had refused to wear her costume  on all other occasions when I tried to get her to...on Halloween night we told her she wouldn't be able to go trick-or-treating for candy unless she wore it. She wore it.

Nora Turns TWO!

Happy Birthday to Nora!

She had a wonderful day celebrating turning two - here are some pictures of the party.
