Spencer and Kristi Family: Fall Has Arrived

Fall Has Arrived

I know there are many out there that hate Halloween. I think it is a whole bunch of fun. I love seeing my kids get excited about what they are going to be for Halloween. I love pumpkins, they are the cutest of all the vegetables. I love the cool, crispness of the October air. I love the crunching sound of leaves when you step on them. I love eating soup and having it warm my body as it goes down. I love to wear sweaters, not socks so much though. Halloween candy, caramel apples, pumpkin flavored things...it is all great. Thanks for reading my tribute to Halloween and fall fun.

Benjamin is going to be a duck for Halloween. Thanks Mom. He seemed to think it was neat wearing something so soft and cuddly.

This next one is me in my costume.

Benjamin watches as the boys get their hands dirty.

Here are the boys helping Daddy carve pumpkins.

Benjamin has an entire strawberry in his mouth in this picture.

I am sure we will have more to share as we get closer to Halloween and we actually finish our pumpkins.

Kristi: "Jesus."
Benny: "Why didn't he make us one?"

*"I'm glad Jesus created Bakugans." - Luke

*To the tune of BINGO Benny sang, "B-Y-U-N-G-O." It didn't flow so well.

*"I want to punch 'Telly Bye-Bye' in the face". - Luke expressing his sadness that Telletubbies was over.

*When I asked Luke what he wants to be when he grows up he responded, "a dinosaur". Another time he said he wants to be "an excavator".
