Halloween!

We love Halloween around here. For Macy it basically means she gets to wear her dress-up clothes out, run around with friends, and eat candy. Who wouldn't love it!
 Here is Rachel a couple weeks before Halloween when we were checking out the costumes.
 A couple days before Halloween Grandma and Grandpa Lamont, Aunt Pam, Paisley, and Scarlett came over for dinner and pumpkin carving. Pam and I ended up doing all the work while the girls ran around playing!
 Macy had three different occasions to dress up. The first was a family Halloween party where she went as Cinderella. Second (below), was her preschool party where she chose to be a Barbie Fairy, and the third was actual Halloween Trick or Treating where she went as a Lady Bug. If you ask her what she was for Halloween though, she'll tell you a Lady Bug. (Note, these were all things we had on hand, so I didn't care what she went as..except I pressed for Lady Bug for trick or treating, since it fits well over a coat!)
 Macy and Chris did the trick or treating while Rachel and I stayed home to hand out candy.
 Nice glasses Dad!
 Macy trick or treated with neighbour pals, Lasha, William, and Max, and then went out a second time with just Dad. They got a great haul!
 Too much candy!
Hope you all had a great halloween!

Some Fall Pictures

We had a great fall, lots of nice weather and sunny days. We enjoyed the Millcreek Fall Festival again this year, and spent most weekends finishing up projects around the house, like putting in 3 new bedroom windows!
 These two are pictures from the festival.
 Playing around in the backyard.
 No smiles from these two!
 An unobstructed view.
 I had fun knocking out the old window!

She's a Gymnast!

 Macy started a weekly class of gymnastics this fall. She is loving it. I think it is so great for the gymnastic part, but also teaching about following directions, listening to a coach, taking turns, being safe, and lots more. Every week I ask her what her favorite thing was, and it's always going on the trampoline!
Here she is excited for the first class!
And then because we have awesome neighbours who give us so many hand-me-downs, here's one in her fancy gym suit!
