I found my special treat for the night!

Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

from the

Hamilton Insects and the Bug Catcher!

"Addie" Cadaby!

Uncle Peter and Aunt Jeannine joined us trick-or-treating this year.

I think they had just as much fun as we did!

"Ding-Dong"

"Trick-or-Treat!"

The grown ups received their own special treats as we walked around our block, such as a jello shots, beer, Bloody Marys, and home brewed beer!

Needless to say it took all of us a long time to walk just one block!

Even though it was a bit chilly, we all had a wonderful time Trick-or-Treating together!

Thanks again Grandma Judy for handing out our treats while we were out!

Halloween Art

Today we got out some Halloween cookie cutters and some paint and created some masterpieces!
(I love the tongue out)

Witches hats, pumpkins and ghosts...OH MY!!!

Treats for the "Treating"

This year Mommy thought that we could make special treats for all of the trick-or-treaters that would be arriving on Halloween night. Grandma Judy used to make these lollipop ghosts when Mommy was little to give to their trick-or-treaters and this year Mommy thought that this would be the perfect year to start that same treat giving tradition.

Amelia and I each had important roles as we helped assemble each ghost. Amelia handed out the tissue, I gathered the lollipop and ribbon and Mommy put it all together. I got to draw a few faces on, but it was rather tricky to write on tissue, maybe next year this would be a better a job for me.

All done!!!

Time to Carve Some PUMPKINS!

Time to Crave the PUMPKINS!!!

Auntie Rita and Uncle JP drove all the way out to help us carve our pumpkins. This was their first time using stencils to create some cool faces.

We used our big orange bucket to collect all of the squishy pumpkin guts.

It was so much fun scooping and dumping!

Painting Fall Leaves

(Yes, Amelia was sucking on the paintbrush!)

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures of the final project. The leaves turned out beautifully!

"Night-Night Babies"

Amelia said her babies need to "take a nap."
I think she might need one too!

A Leaf Hunting We Will Go!

OK Mommy, now what do we do with them???

A Birthday on the Farm

Today was our cousin Tim's birthday. So, we headed west to the farm to celebrate his day.

It was such a beautiful day to spend at the farm.

Christopher asked Daddy if he wanted to drive some of the tractors around, and of course he did!!! These are some loud tractors!

Then, Mommy got the bright idea to hook up one of the huge hay wagons to go on a hay wagon ride. Christopher was at the wheel and let me tell you, he is one crazy driver!!!

Grandma Judy and Papa made sure we were bundled up for the ride.

We really like going fast, but we could've done with out the abrupt starting and stopping (we almost flew off!)

Happy Birthday Tim!!!

Future Ramblers???

The day after the Hall of Fame dinner, it was time for some football!

This is not only our Papa Bob's high school, but it was our Daddy's high school too! In fact, Daddy's Uncle Jim (aka Superman) also attended that high school! Daddy says this is the school he wants us to go to some day, although Mommy says Carmel might be in our future too. (Carmel just sounds like a yummy place to go to school, =) )

Here comes the marching band!
They can play really loud!

Here comes the kick off!

Go Ramblers!!! Beat St. Rita!!!

Not only was this our first time attending a high school football game, it was our Dads first time too! He played soccer during football season and at that time Loyola didn't have lights at their stadium, so the games were played during the daylight, as well as the soccer games. Mommy was very surprised to hear that this was his first football game.

During the halftime, they introduced the newest Hall of Fame inductees.
Yay, Papa BOB!!!!

Even Amelia was cheering her Papa on!

(The Ramblers beat St. Rita!!!)

Hall of Fame

Tonight, Papa Bob was inducted into the Loyola High School Hall of Fame for playing soccer. The entire family was there to show their support for such a great honor.

Papa Bob gave a wonderful motivational and inspiring speech about his accomplishment and what it meant to him.

This was his write up that was in the program that shares all of his accomplishments during his high school years playing soccer as well as where he continued his career.

Way to go Papa! We are so proud of you!
