Spooky things are in the air

We are having fun getting ready for Halloween! I'm like a kid when it comes to holidays. (We started making these spiders and ghosties out of plastic bags when we were still in school). It was so much fun that it is now a tradition that the kids really look forward to. It's a really easy craft for the kids and a cheap decoration... plus it's really cute when the wind blows them.
It might be a little sad... but this is the tallest my corn grew. But who cares... it fits just right on our porch. And we grew just enough pumpkins for all the kids to have one.

Brooke, Ben and I made all the silly decorations while Madi was at school. This one is a bat... Brooke wasn't satisfied until we gave it fangs.

Fun at the Bingham's

I loved doing this when I was little! We had a laughing good time until one of the girls fell on top of Ben.Little Divas! While visiting cousins the girls had fun performing in their music room.
We also got to swim in their pool. Cold yes, but way fun. Brooke would turn blue before she'd want to get out.

Ben had a ball as soon as he remembered what the water wings did.

Madi had a sink or swim lesson. And guess what she decided on? I was so sad that we moved from California just as the kids were getting the hang of swimming. (We were spoiled with a pool just out our front door).
