lucy has been having a great time playing indoor soccer....and todd has been coaching so its been fun for both of them.

halloween

we had a great halloween season with unbelievable beautiful weather.....

a visit to the pumpkin patch, on a crisp clear fall day. we picked out our pumpkins, sat on the tractor, went in the corn maze and got our annual rasmussen farm picture.

....and the big day!  lucy got some cowboy boots this summer and has pretty much been wearing them non-stop, so she decided what to be based on the boots.....and boy was she the cutest little cowgirl in the world!

riley agonized deciding what to be, but eventually settled on a wizard...

todd was a punk guy...

...and i was hallo-wonderful! the kids were giving me a hard time because i don't ever dress up, so when they asked what i was going to be i said i was going to be 'hallo-wonderful'...and that i was pretty sure that involved a cape.  so i borrowed a cape, bought a wig and then raided lucy's dress-up box for the bling.

we went for our traditional trick or treat downtown, met up with riley's best friend jack

there was this super freaky costume downtown....this guy is a big fan of halloween!

... the kids reviewing their loot at the end of the night

it was a happy halloween!!
