Trick-or-Treat!

Happy Halloween!! We took Dave around to everyone's house last night, Chris was off work. Also, our development was having a scare-free Halloween with the Silverdale Fire Company so I bet you can guess where we were tonight!!

Dave arriving at his first stop! Beegee and Pies house.

Checking out his Halloween treats!!

Then off to our next stop Nan and Pop's house. "Look Nan it's me, David, not a real fireman."

Checking out his Halloween treats from Nan and Pop.

Then onto Mee-mee and Pops's house.

More Halloween treats!

And our last stop for the night, Cara and Fred's house. Our little fireman was getting pretty tired at this point.

Even more Halloween treats!!

Only Cara could find silly glasses.

Wordless Wednesday

SNOW?!

This is what our backyard looked like when we woke up this morning. Even Dave could not believe that it was snowing! He thought that it was too early to see snow, cause snow should come when Santa comes and Santa doesn't come till after Halloween and Thanksgiving. Although it is too early for snow, Dave is hoping that it snows enough to be able to throw snow balls later this afternoon!

Pumpkin painting time!!

Tonight, Dave wanted to paint his pumpkins for Halloween. But we were not allowed to paint to them at our house we had to paint them at Nan's house "cause she has good paints at her house." Below Nan and Dave are starting to paint Dave's pumpkin.
Dave doing some more painting.Concentrating very hard to make sure the pumpkin is perfectly scary for Halloween!He made sure that he got every inch of the pumpkin covered in paint.Looks like they had to go back and fill in a few spots that didn't have paint.And if you have been reading our blog you know that when we went to pick pumpkins Dave picked a gourd that he thought looked just like a goose. So here Dave is painting the wings for his goose. He thought it would be best if the goose had yellow and red wings. And here's the finished goose gourd. He does look like a goose don't you think?!He's a fantastic bird if you ask me!

MedEvac lift-off

Since today was a pretty ugly day, we thought that we would head out to some shopping. On our way to the mall, we drove past the Home Depot and they were having a safety demo day. Dave didn't feel like getting out of the car to see the fire trucks and police cars. However, we were lucky enough to be able to watch the MedEvac take off. Below the MedEvac is getting ready to take off.

Dave watching very closely to see it lift-off the ground.

Lift-off!!!

And away it goes.

Nightmare at Elmwood

Last night was the Member's only preview at Elmwood Park Zoo for their Nightmare at Elmwood exhibit for Halloween. Below is the giant spider that they had at the petting barn. Here Dave is checking out the foxes to see what they do at nighttime. Dave checking out some of the scary spiders!Here we were watching some of the animated Halloween decorations.And of course a stop to see the turtles!!!!

Ahoy, Matey!

I thought I would share a few pictures of Dave decorating his pirate pumpkin. He wasn't able to wait any longer, it was killing him to be able to decorate a pumpkin! Here he is adding the mustache.Next come the ears.How does my pumpkin look?And the finishing touch his pirate shoes.
