Hayley is very proud of this one -- a breakthrough job of coloring on her part.

That's a picture of a rainbow, with Hayley in the middle.

Halloween

Halloween is always a fun time of year. Here's what the grandkids were doing...

The kids helped rake the leaves, a little. Here's Collin in the tree with two of our pumpkin leaf bags.

Collin and Hayley in the tree.

Pumpkin carving time!

Icky stuff.

Mike's two favorite girls.

All five of our pumpkins. Like the eyes?

All five grandkids in their costumes: Hayley (pirate), Collin (skeleton), Lael (baby ladybug), Alethia (big ladybug), and Judah (Batman!). 

Pirates and skeletons. 

Batman and the ladybug sisters.

All three girls.

I'm not sure Lael is cool with all this costume stuff...

We took all the grandkids to our local Byerly's grocery store for their Halloween celebration. Here, they're waiting in line for some balloon animals from a clown.

Kristi and her girls at the grocery store celebration. 

Mike with a wizard hat. (It was hanging from the ceiling.)

Happy Halloween!
