Halloween and Pumpkin Patch

This year, Ben really wanted to be Darth Vader, so we went with it. We were going to do a Star Wars family theme but it ended up with Ben as Darth Vader and Emma as Queen Amidala. I decided to do a sugar skull face paint and Mario did a dracula thing. Both of ours were very thrown together last minute! We had the usual fun of carving  a few pumpkins and decorating.

Space Shuttle Endeavor

So this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to see the space shuttle Endeavor on its way to a new home. It traveled right by Hindry Avenue, which is the street we live on! I packed up the stroller and took the kids down the street to watch it go by. We waited for quite a while, but when it finally approached, it was amazing!

This was one of the only pictures I was able to get with us in it! It was crowded and kind of crazy!
