Fall Leaves & Trunk or Treat

We have a tons of leaves in our front yard now, since it is long since "officially" fall. The kids had a fun time playing in them this afternoon. I have to say that is one of the things I love about New York. Fall is gorgeous. The colors are beautiful and vibrant and even if our own front yard we can see it! Pictures don't do it justice, but there is a lot of beauty here that Heavenly Father created! Here are a few pics of the kids playing in our leaves!




Today was also our ward Halloween Party at church. I let the kids (girls) all invite a friend to come along, since this will one of few opportunities we can fit four more people with us in our monster van. They were all excited to invite a friend and of course being Halloween, wear their costumes. At church we had a chili dinner, then they had fun games and activities set up for the kids to do. And after all that fun...they get to Trunk or treat....or go from car to car and get candy. :) It was lots of fun and they all had a "giggling" good time! Here are the pictures!











Here are a  few from the Halloween Party....













We were thinking...good thing we had a fun Halloween on Saturday before the coming Hurricane Sandy...just in case we don't get Halloween on Wednesday! :) 

Here is a pic of our decorated trunk....which got rave reviews....good thing I went to the Dollar store for ideas a couple of hours before. :) Last minute inspiration I guess. :) Not too shabby. 

Our lanterns glowed in the dark...it was pretty cool. :) 


On an additional note....they kids were all hyped up on candy....and as usual...even without candy...put up a fuss to go to bed and never stay in their beds. Ryder has become a hellion at night, up and down the stairs, playing in his room....make a rukus. Here is what we found tonight when we went to bed...for one his bedroom light is always on....this time..his mattress was pulled off his bed (no sheets on his bed)...notice the big mess...and don't forget the candy bucket so nicely placed by the bottom of his bed. :) 


good thing he has a mommy and daddy to cover his butt up. :)
