Erik and two of his friends went trick-or-treating together. Erik is dressed like "Ed" from a cartoon called Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Frances is the skeleton and Jacob is The Joker. Jacob stayed with us a couple of days this past week while his parents were out of town, so it worked out really well that he could be here for Halloween night.
Sarah, dressed like a cat, with a cat.
We invited our neighbors to hang out in our driveway for a block party. I made chili and hot dogs, and they brought nachos and desserts. These are our next door neighbors, Beth and Mike.
This is Beth and Mike's front door. Much scarier in person than on this video...
These are some of the decorations in my front yard. Hard to see at night..but it's a huge spider web that I hung between two trees. The other decoration is my "gr
aveyard."
These are the neighbors that live across the street from us, Amy and their daughter Courtney, who is in Sarah's class. Brad and Logan, 8, are not in the picture.
The Beck girls came for a few days to visit Mamma Debbie and Paul in Phoenix. We had dinner with them on Friday night. Tiffany brought baby Isabelle, and so these are pictures and a video of Erik and Sarah teaching Isabelle how to do "the worm." Tiffany and Michael are coming back for Thanksgiving; Tricia, Bill and kids are coming for Christmas; and Tracy and family are coming in February, so we're looking forward to seeing our adopted family members over the holidays!
