Halloween Fun

 Halloween came up quick this year as we are all preoccupied with 100 other things.  We still managed to have a little bit of fun and enjoy the time together.

 Some pre-Halloween crafts are always a must.  This year they got mixed in with homework as well, but we had fun anyway.  Trunk-or-Treat at church is always fun too.

 Trunk-or-Treat and pumpkin carving with spooky houses!  It's like gingerbread, but for Halloween.

 Noah's cell.  He had to build this for science class.  I've been in heaven this year with him in the class.  It's right up my alley.  It was a cookie cell with candy representing the different organelles of the cell.

Halloween Night we had one of the old Tree Kids come over and celebrate with us.  We had pizza and witches brew.  It's become a tradition at our house.  Our Trick-or-treating group has gotten smaller this year, but we still managed to have a lot of fun.  The kids especially liked trading their candy after we got back home.

October posts

It was a hard October.  It was actually quite sad.  It's one of my favorite months and I just couldn't get excited about it this year.  There is much change going on in the Afualo household and I think that is why I had a hard time do anything except the basics.

 This is going to be the October catch-up post.

Yummy Halloween Treats!

It's been unseasonable warm this year and I spent the day at the beach enjoying it.

Nana and Papa came for the weekend.  It was the weekend we put the house on the market.  We loved having them with us even if it was a super busy weekend.  Lily and Noah also had a swim meet and did a fantastic job in their races.

Pumpkin Patch!!

Flying High above Scripps Ranch!

Lily, Adam and I took and afternoon off and went to Disneyland for the day. (Oct 25th)  We had a lot of fun and got to explore the new Cars Land.

We love Disneyland at Halloween Time. 

A visit with Family

Family is the most important thing in my mind.  That includes all family.  So when one of my favorite cousins calls and says she is going to be in town for a week I make every effort to see her.

We had to change plans a couple times, but we were finally able to get together for dinner with Bethanne and Nathan and their family.  Oh what fun we had.  It may have been short, but we packed it in.

The kids swam in the pool/spa, we barbequed and then we went to the beach with some sparklers.  All in all a successful family outing.

We found it funny that Sam and Adam had the same pose.
