Halloween! And lots more!

Chronicles of an Only Child, Part I! Sophia is playing with a potato.
She was very maternal with the tater, and "put it to bed" in the napkin several times. She has insisted on playing with a potato several times since. This is what happens when you don't have siblings or a TV! Too funny!

Halloween weekend! We went up to Grand Forks on Saturday, and horsed around with Grandpa and Pepper the pony a bit :)


Halloween party! Laura threw an AMAZING Halloween party all day on Sunday. The kids had so much fun!
Cupcake decorating... one of the many "kid activities"
Sophia and Gunner

Sack race!
Gunner in his sack... the sack race was hilarious!




Sophia watched the sack racing with Grandpa

Magdalene participating in the relay race (teams running candy corn on a spoon between two buckets... also hilarious!)

Getting ready for trick-or-treating!

Maddie was the Geico Gecko

Gabby and Jaylin

The two bumblebees! Sophia and her cousin, Magdalene



The cousins, ready to go!

Sophia and DJ hitching a ride between houses

Trick or treating! Sophia was fearless... she said "trick or treat" at each house and was so excited to be given candy each time! And she was very good about saying "tank oo" :)

Short break between trick or treating neighborhoods...



We took 5 at Grandma Mary's house during trick or treating


My fearless little bee!

Hitching a ride with Gunner

Full wagon! The 3 littlest cousins: Gunner, Sophia, DJ

And on Tuesday Sophia voted several times!
On Wednesday we were very happy to be able to witness cousin Sammy's confirmation at Sharon Lutheran Church in Grand Forks (Sammy is Travis' cousin, not one of Sophia's... so many cousins!) :)

Cousins Madelyn, Samantha, Aunt Paula and cousin Joey... it's been a busy and wonderful week!

WOW! I guess you have been busy! That party looks like a blast, and I must say it seems that you had a warmer Halloween then us. But, VT is still cooler. Love all the pics as always!

That 'I voted' pea-jacket picture is the best, JG.
