What a fun Halloween we had with the cousins! Weckerlys arrived Saturday afternoon in time for our pre-trick-or-treating Halloween Party. We got some decorations up in the garage and played some games and bobbed for apples.
First up was guessing how many candy corns were in this jar. Reagan was the winner!
They decorated milk jugs to make ghost lanterns.
They sure did a good job bobbing for apples.
Mummy-wrapping contest. It was a pretty close draw, so everyone got a prize. Yes, I know. I went there with "everyone's a winner." :-P
Headed out! Tessa's childhood classmate/friend joined us with her husband and kids whose costumes were also "Wizard of Oz" themed. Rosha was able to come along trick-or-treating too. It was fairly chilly and windy, but the girls made it up and down our entire street on both sides. The guys took Ben and Clara back after our block. We had a pretty good turnout of trick-or-treaters...well, the ones we were home for anyway. I think we got about 25-30 that we did hand out candy to. We had set our bowl out while we were out trick-or-treating and it was empty when Dana and Chad got back.
One fewer tooth to rot out with the Halloween candy! Ha. Poor Brynn had really been struggling with this second loose tooth. It was barely hanging on last night before supper when she was able to break it free. The tooth fairy made an appearance with a whole dollar again last night. PS Auntie Tessa, keep this on the down low. You are supposed to be surprised this weekend. :-)
Clara Rae turned 15 months today! I don't have any fun pictures to post of her from today, but thought I would share what she has been so busy working on these past few months and what she now knows:
These are the words she says now...
She still says 'ma-ma-ma-ma' for everything she wants (which means 'more'). She can identify a lot of her body parts...eyes, nose, mouth, legs and belly. She is still very much into mothering her baby dolls and rocks, pats, feeds, snuggles and talks to them, bounces them on her lap and wraps them up in a blanket. She walks very well now and all over; even tries to run sometimes, but is still getting the hang of that. She helped sissy clean up toys today, but mostly because she wants to be doing everything that Brynn does and loves any time she can give her things or help Brynn. Her check-up is next Monday so we'll see how much she weighs and everything then.

| At one of our fav stops; our neighbors across the street from us. |

| Although chilly, the sunset was pretty that night. |

| Going through the loot! |
