Weekend fun!

We had a great weekend! Saturday, of course was Halloween and we had a fun day! We went to our neighbor's house in the afternoon for a little Halloween party that they hosted for their nephew who is in elementary school. Owen loved watching all the big boys play in their costumes. They went bobbing for apples, played a white elephant gift exchange game, and then bingo with candy corn pieces. All of the boys had tons of fun! We went home for a quick dinner and then the boys and Greg went trick or treating around the neighborhood. Owen walked along side Greg as Greg pulled Jase in the red wagon! It worked out well. We have such a great neighborhood, everyone was excited to see the boys. Owen typically doesn't do well for trick or treat. He doesn't like scary masks or anything 'spooky' so he only makes it to about 4-5 houses before he wants to come home. This year was different! He did so well! They started at about 6pm and were back around 6:45pm with lots of goodies. Our neighbors welcomed us back to their place to hand out candy together on their driveway. They had a fire in their fire-pit in the driveway and we circled it with our camping chairs. Once the boys got restless, we headed to the little church across the street from our neighborhood. They had a Harvest party from 6-9pm with food, games, candy and a bouncy house! The boys had a great time and the people there were so nice and welcoming. All in all we had a great time on Saturday. We are so thankful for our wonderful neighbors and community.
We were also thankful for daylight savings coming to an end- it gave us the much needed extra time in the morning to get the family up and to church. After church we came home and Greg worked on the house. He sanded and painted the garage and water proofed the roof on our sun room. The garage door's paint was in dire need of a face lift and the roof in the sun room has been leaking. The last big rainstorm we had was terrible- water was everywhere in the newly renovated room. It was a little heartbreaking. We are hoping that what he did this past weekend has fixed the problem..fingers crossed!
Here are some pictures of our adventures:
