Pumpkins and "Fright Night"

Pumpkin carving day, with Auntie Jen!


Mr. So Serious with a *real* knife - he was very proud :)

Swine flu pumpkin!

A little out of order here, but Jen took Matthew to pick out pumpkins...

Matthew and 'his' tongue...

Climbing the rocketship at Andrew's school...

Brotherly love...great workout for mom!

See? It took Jen's help to get them UP that hill!

Look at the face on Andrew! Too funny! Must have been a heavy pumpkin :)

Matthew requested a jack-o-latern that looks just like him! I think Jen did pretty well, huh? :)

Mom of the Year Award goes to....(yeah - real knives - those pumpkin carving things are MORE dangerous, in my opinion...and gimmicky anyhow...)

sine flue

Another angry/scary face - ha ha!

The jack-o-latern gang...

Coach Jen collects balls at practice...

Happy monkey on the way to Fright Night (kind of like trick-or-treating, at Andrew's school a week before Halloween)

My monkey and super cute Harry Potter...

Making treat bags at the first station...

Witch-Mom

Matthew had the funniest bean-bag-toss stance!

Trixie the wonder dog, minus her costume...

Watch out! He's good at casting spells!

An attempt to help his brother ended in screaming and fit #528 that day! Oy - NOT a happy monkey...

See? (but ack! Isn't he SO cute?)

This is what our day looked like...

The limp, soggy thing in his hand is a quesadilla he demanded and carried for awhile...

Momma and her babies...

We stopped by Pop's office for some more pictures...Jen gets Andrew adjusted...

Dino Jen and her boys...

Mrs. Southard (in the brown sweater across from Andrew) is Andrew's 1st grade teacher...she was helping out with making treat bags...

Playing games at Fright Night...monkey putt-putt...

Computer lab/game time...

There was a high school boy dressed as Optimus Prime - Matthew was totally enthralled by him - he even had the voice changing mask!

A tale of tails...
