End of October Fun

Last weekend was a really fun one.  Grandma Sheryl was here visiting and we had the girls' school's annual sausage dinner fundraiser.  We didn't do the whole Halloween thing this year, but the girls had little animal costumes to wear to the sausage dinner.


 My cuddly little bunny and my sly fox.


 The tails are the cutest.




 Having fun at the sausage dinner.


 Some of the adults dressed up too.


 The fox hiding in the jungle.


 They did a costume contest for the kids.


 Lena won the pre-k and Kindergarten category!  I was really surprised!


 Jim wore a hot dog costume.  Not really by choice, though!  The girls' school was raising money for accreditation, and Jim said that if they reached their goal by the time of the sausage dinner, he would wear the hot dog suit.  Mission accomplished!




 Eva and another CLA student, Hilarie.  Hilarie said, "Eva's so cuddly!  And Lena's so. . . um, energetic."  Lena was running around in circles pretty much all night!


On Saturday morning, the girls helped Grandma do the crossword puzzle in the newspaper.  And by "helped", I mean that they colored all over it.


 Sunday was Reformation Sunday and we encouraged all the church members to wear red.  We took a group photo of it.


 My girls in their Reformation red.


 Grandma and the girls.










 Jim donned the hot dog suit again during our potluck on Sunday.

 Instead of carving pumpkins this year, Jim and the girls painted them one day while I was grocery shopping.  Lena's has the moon in the starry sky.


 This is the pumpkin and crazy bat kit that Lena won in the costume contest.


 The pumpkin Eva painted rotted before I got a pic of it :(, but this is one that she made in school.  The orange part is painted and the stem and face pieces are cut out of construction paper.  She's really good with scissors.


 And this is another one they made at school.


 Here's the pumpkin Jim painted.  


It's a little blurry, but you can tell it's very detailed.
