Halloween Night

After Trunk or Treat last Friday night and parties today at school - the girls were ready for the last round of Halloween fun with some old-fashioned Trick or Treating tonight with Dad.

Waiting for Mike to get home from work . . .all ready in their costumes.

We had snow the night before - so it was a bit chilly with snow still on the ground.

Lots of layers . . .

Kate lasted 10 minutes after this pix was taken and wanted to 

come home and cuddle on the couch with me, so I drove to pick her up a block over.

Happy Halloween from First Grade!

Don't mind me, just a "CAT" driving to my daughter's first grade Halloween party at school! Shhh . . . it's a surprise!

Making mummies of themselves . . .

Look at her cute Jack-o-Lantern smile!

Mike: FBI Civilians Academy Graduation

Mike was honored to be selected to serve in the FBI Civilians Academy this Fall! It was an 8 week program after work and he LOVED every second of it. It was so impressive from everything he learned to the things they taught him! The graduation ceremony alone was impressive!

So very cool - sad it is over for him.

The kids all wanted to play Kick ball - parents vs kids - after dinner

It was slightly competitive and I pulled a hamstring - but well worth the hour of fun!

S'mores time!

We decided to make S'more Nachos!? I guess you could say we invented it. 

The kids all approved!
