Twick or Tweat!

Lightening McQueen & Tow Mater. Buds.

Lightening & the Maters.
"Candy, get in there!"
The 'bug and the bird...we can't figure out if he's a chicken or a duck.
Bibsy Bugsy.
"Am I a chick or a duck?? Not knowing is bugging me!" See what I did there? As in lady bugging him? Heh heh heh.
Attempt at a family picture. Thanks to BabeeBaba for the treat bags!
Thomas the Train and Mater.
Dudes.
A stop on the trick or treating trek.
Evan is always 20 yards ahead of us now so we enjoyed being a part of Hollan's trick or treating experience. Brian was having so much fun taking her up to the door. We had several dads ooh and ahh over the lady bug costume and one in particular commented on how much he missed those days!
Dylan and Hollan weren't so sure about the inflatable ghost.

A gal gets warm trick or treating in AZ!
Dylan and the Bibs enjoying the spoils.
Tow Mater checking out his haul. Get it? A tow truck hauls cars! I am on FIRE tonight!
Surveying the loot.
I was keeping a close eye on John here. I am pretty sure he was trying to talk Evan into trading Reeses cups for Smarties. Not on my watch, Bergmann.
Happy Halloween!

Halloween Warm Up Weekend

Sliding in a modified sleeper hold.

Crazy haired Bibsy.
Having a little fertilizer snack.
Pumpkin carving time!
Pumpkin guts. Much like Brian when he was little, as soon as Evan touched this gunk, he demanded to wash his hands!
Hollan getting in on the fun.
MMmmmmm!
Not sure what to think about this pumpkin thing.
Playing outside.
Hollan is a daredevil. As soon as she figured out the step, she would jump off. This weekend she also scaled the side rails on Evan's bed and climbed up on a bar stool. I sweat all day long.
MacDonald Ranch pumpkin patch and hay ride!
"Yeee Haw!"
Mama and Bibs...preoccupied by the horses.
Of course the boys found something to jump off of...
Cowboys.
Making hay angels.
Evan at the chicken coop.
In the bunny cage.
The hay stack maze.

Playing chase.
"I swear I parked my horse right there."

Little did we know Evan's head would get stuck. And Brian and I laughed. Oops.
It came out though...and his head fit nicely into a helmet to ride this here steed.
The pumpkin & costume unveiling! The ghost Peterson pumpkin that Daddy slaved over for 3 hours, the Ladybug, the Bumble Bee and Tow Mater!
Hooooooooo hoooooooooooo, spooky.

Hats, etc.

Cheeeeeese. And more racing.

I so loved the UB2 bonnet that the Ziesels gave Hollan when she was born, that I had a larger one made for her...with birds on it!
Cutest Amish bird watcher...ever.
This is what your outfit is reduced to when you use your undershirt as a napkin.
You may remember this picture from December '08 (photo credit: JJ0)

Oh yes we did.

We raise some mighty fine teddy bears 'round these parts.
