Halloween, Bonfire and Grant's Birthday

Halloween - Wednesday, we had a perfect break in the rain for trick-or-treat times in Lake O...  We had quite the entourage - Ben, Eli and Grant in costume and Aaron, Rhonda, Adam, Papa Doug, Grandma Jeanne, Andy and I watching them gather their loot!

On Saturday, we had a great time at Bonfire Night with Andy's family - But no pictures from that one...  Again a perfect break in the rain showers so we didn't have to bundle up to see the bonfire!

Then, Sunday, we got to help nephew Grant celebrate his 2nd birthday! We had a lot of fun with balloons, and helping Grant open and break in his new toys!

 

A few things I want to remember:

Eli:
Waking up the morning after getting a helium filled Red Robin balloon, and seeing it sitting down low on the floor: "Wake up!" (with a swift kick)

Ben: Is in serious activity book mode.  At any given time, he can sit and complete multiple dot-to-dot, color-by-number, match the pictures, mazes and coloring pages.  It tough to pull him away sometimes.
