HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We took the kids trick or treating last night with the Hummel Family. Well, this is what our trick or treating is here in Germany... Halloween is not celebrated like it is back in America. They celebrate it but you don't see all the kids dressed up in costumes running around. You can just imagine the looks we got last night with our little bumble bee and SpongeBob running around yelling "trick or treat" ha ha! One person asked why our kids were dressed up and what were we doing, ha ha! So every year Jeff asks all the American guys on his team if we can bring our kids trick or treating to their houses. Since we all live pretty close to each other it works out perfect and the kids still get the whole Halloween experience. Trey and Faith had a good time, Trey was originally a skeleton but when he looked at himself in the mirror he informed me it wasn't a nice costume, he didn't like it. So I had to wipe of the face paint and thank goodness we had SpongeBob from last year.:) So of course he opted for SpongeBob because he's much nicer than the scary skeleton!

I think he makes a very nice looking skeleton :)

Trey and Alex! Trey loves Alex, every time we do things with the Hummel Family Trey always wants to go with Alex :)

Dora was on the television, I could not get Faith's attention :)

Pumpkin Patch!!

Jeff had a day off from practice last week so a group of us decided to go to the pumpkin patch in Ludwigsburg. The kids LOVED it and got to pick out their own pumpkins. Every year the castle in Ludwigsburg holds a themed pumpkin patch. Last year was Noah's Arc which was really neat. And this year's theme is outer space. They also had a "fairy tale" trail for kids, where we got to visit Rapunzel's tower. I got a little camera happy, here are MANY photos from our day!Faith was having such a good time :)Trey thought all these characters were really neat!Us and Trey's friend Kalaia!I love this pic of Trey, he looks so sweet and innocent!:)Faith was loving life, ha!Check out the size of those pumpkins, they have a contest every year.Jeff and I in front of one of the castlesFaith and KalaiaThis is a crab!
