Halloween 2013

Rilyn has been looking forward to Halloween this year for like 2 months.  She didn't really care what costume she wore she was just concerned about pumpkin patches and trick-or-treating.  She did originally want to be a ballerina, but I found Ryder a cow costume cheap so I talked her into the cowgirl costume since we already had it and it had a twirly skirt just like a ballerina anyways.

We started the morning off with some cream cheese ghost


 Rilyn wore her costume most of the day and we made some pumpkin pictures

And then we went to Tyler's work for some trick-or-treating through the cubicles and then off to Grandma and Grandpa Decker's for dinner and more trick-or-treating.












Ryder was kind of a stinker and fussed a lot because he thought he should just be able to eat the candy as we went.  Rilyn did the same last year.  When we got back to Grandma's house he grabbed fistfuls and was determined to get it open.

Rilyn going through her stash when we got home.

Rilyn loved trick-or-treating this year.  She wanted to go up to the houses by herself (Ms. Independent) and was very talkative to all the people.  As soon as we turned around to go back to Tyler she would yell, "daddy, they gave me lots of treats!"

It was a great Halloween with lots of good memories.  I'm sure Rilyn will be talking about this for awhile!

A Little of This...A Little of That....

It's been nice lately to not have something planned every day and we are just enjoying this slower pace before the craziness of the holidays gets here.

Here's what we've been up to...

Taking Porter for walks back home after he decides to go visits the neighbors.





Taking little cat naps on mama



Watching deer eat breakfast in our backyard.  Zoe is also very entertained.


Snuggles in warm towels after baths.


Fall walks.



A chilly but fun zoo visit.







Ryder playing with his new tractor from Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Herman.  He is really starting to love anything with wheels.



Checking out the snow that fell overnight.  Rilyn was super excited and Ryder was not happy at all!





A pumpkin patch visit.








And Ryder just growing up every second.  He had his first shower yesterday and decided to put his bowl in the sink when he was done with his snack this afternoon.  Just like his sissy does.
