Crashing the Ewing's Neighborhood

Trick or treat was last Thursday. We invited ourselves to Dustin and Tera's neighborhood because we live in the country and there is no where to trick or treat. We even strong armed grandma into coming to hand out treats so that we could all walk with the kids. The Littleton's crashed as well. I don't think the local kids minded too badly because we brought a ton of candy.

Nathan, in his two right boots, was hilarious. His basket got so heavy it was pulling him over and he fell down about 112 times. He would let us help him carry it over his dead body. He ran as much as he could from house to house until his bag got to heavy. We had a great time, the weather was nice and the company was awesome. It was a really nice neighborhood. They treated the kids very well.

We all went out to dinner at the Cracker Barrel when it was over. We will stand here all day if we have to.

A Trick or Treat Hayride er...Dirty Truckbedride

It was the Naugle annual trick or treat hayride and the debut of the costumes. Nathan was born for looting. He muscled his way to the front of every line to get the goodies. I had the boots for his costume shipped to our house in July, I didn't check them carefully and when I got them out of the box the day we needed them, they were both for the right foot and one was discolored. Sorry Nathan, you still have to wear them until trick or treat is over because we can't get another pair in his size.

As we were loaded up on the hay wagon and about to embark on our journey, someone noticed that the wagon had a flat tire, hence the dirty truck beds.

Defecating in the Corn Maze

We made a trip to a local farm for some fall fun.

This is right before Nathan snapped it.

Helping each other out in the maze.

Looks like William is peeing and Nathan is taking a dump. Nathan fell so many times that he gave up tring to catch himself. I had to pick dirt and debris out of his mouth and his nose was covered in dirt. "are you alright?" "yeah" every time. It was so funny.

Like A Faded Gold Cowboy (Mime)

You just never know what you're going to get at the Prairie Peddler. He was a cowboy mime. He interacted with William for quite a while. They drew a crowd.

They are both naturals.

The Party Phase 3

Nathan spies the big gifts, wait for it , wait for it, let William get distracted and then sneak away with a big present. It was very funny. He could barely lift it, let alone sneak away with it. He chose a dino theme.

William, Jessica and grandpa Hummel put together the new mummy puzzle from grandma and grandpa Hummel.

A chip off the ol block. Nathan goes on a preparty pony ride. For those of you who don't know, a horse head on a stick was my favorite toy as a kid.

Phase 2 The Day

Making paper mache planets.

A Cars cake to share with school friends. He even got to wear a special crown.

William, with a little help from grandma 1, chose to go to Red Lobster for his birthday dinner. Yes!!!! Can you believe that a kid who only eats peanutbutter and grilled cheese will eat shrimp?

The Birthday Phase 1

A visit from grandma and poompa. I love the look on Nathan's face. I didn't realized Nathan and poompa matched.

A Wild Hair

The pieces to this have been in my hutch since January and for some reason today was the day. I just wanted to put it together. I didn't have a plan, I just threw on some beads and twisted some wire. I want to add some ribbon, but I don't have any that I like.
Becky took Tera, Mandy and myself to The Glass House for Christmas and we made the fused glass. It is very theraputic to break glass. I highly reccommend it.
