Fall Festivities

We are so far behind on posting pictures and updates, so we'll just stick with this weekend's festivities . . . .

We had pizza with friends and then went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood until it started RAINING!

Ashley pretty much ran (with the rest of the pack) from house to house. Talk about a cardio workout!

Vinny rode in the stroller for the first half. Then, he finally got up the courage to walk on the sidewalk and, finally, to go up to the houses. When he got a treat, he would say "Yum!" with his eyebrows raised, as in, "Can I eat this now please?"

Then, today we celebrated All Saints' Day. Ashley dressed as St. Rose and Vinny as St. Peter (hence the rock and keys props).


This group shot was taken moments before Ashley leaped off the fireplace over Baby Kristen. Guess we'll have to work on baby safety soon.

We also got to play some games. First, the kids did an obstacle course to try to reach the Pearly Gates.

Then, they did a hunt for little crosses, like St. Helen who searched for the true cross that Jesus was crucified on.


That's it for now -- I hope to do some other posts soon!!!
