So it’s been a really long time since I posted new pictures, and maybe I’ll get around to posting some of the last couple of months sometime, but for now, let’s just jump straight to Halloween!

Last weekend we visited a farm to go through a small corn maze, see a bunch of lit up jack-o-lanterns and choose pumpkins to bring home for carving.

Neither kid was remotely interested in scooping out the insides.

But they both drew on their own faces, and Jonah even did a bit of his own carving on the eyes.

With some coaxing, they were willing to reach inside to push out the cut pieces.

Happy kids with their happy pumpkins

On Halloween, the kids were so excited to walk around in their costumes. Nora really wanted to be a spider. I’m not sure where she got the idea, but once she did, she was not interested in any further suggestions. :)

And Jonah was our astronaut. No huge surprise there. He was thrilled at how much he thought he looked like a ‘real astronaut!’ Meanwhile, Nora was eager to tell anyone who would listen that, “Jonah’s going to be an astronaut, but really it’s just a pile of duct tape.”

Back home with their spoils

Taking inventory

Jonah loved finding a ‘Milky Way’ bar. He is an astronaut, after all.

Our little sugar fiend, munching away. She frequently declared that she really wanted to eat… A LOLLIPOP FOR BREAKFAST!!!

Feeding the spider

Happy astronaut (blurry, but cute anyway)
