Halloween 2022

There's a house that goes all out for Halloween and this year's theme was Harry Potter, so we had to go.
Even waiting in line for our turn was entertaining.
The kids got sorted.


Interactive wands
Magical
So many little details in everything. They let us try butterbeer and gave everyone a chocolate after a dementor scare.
I love when people put their time, money, and energy into the community.
We went to another cool house after.
Scott is in Ravenclaw with me.
Spiders!
It was considerably smaller, but still impressive.
The kids decided to be Mario characters for Halloween. So Jonah and I had to get some craft supplies. And oranges.
First up was his hat, which turned out perfectly.
Jane wanted to be Yoshi, her fave.
I just made a little shell backpack and a hat and she was set.
John's was the most labor intensive.
So many little spikes. But it turned out great.
Toad all dressed.
Luigi
and Mario with his hat
My crew
We made some pumpkin treats to share
I threw together a quick peach shirt and crown because I didn't want to be cold in a dress.
Family picture at the church trunk or treat
Pumpkins from our realtor neighbors.
School parade. Jane went and sat with Jonah
Volunteering in Perry's class
Ready for candy
Her cute little pumpkin
It was another fun Halloween season.

Austin with Jane

Jane and I took a quick trip to visit my friend Melody in Texas.
She was a great travel companion.
Picked the heart seat.
Took a nap.
Did some coloring.
She loves elevators and escalators.
New playground
with her little friend Jou.
Frog catching
So many sisters
A day at the Silos. She found a plant with her name.
Water is irresistible
It was getting warm so we needed a cool drink
The Magnolia brand is a great background for Jane photos
A sweet treat for my sweet girl
Running around a bit after lots of patient shopping.
It got warm out so we took off her shirt.
Cute girls
Back at home playing with Lulu
Trying out their swing
Loving the dress ups
School pickup meant another playground to explore
Friends over, piled up on the outdoor swing
Austin's River Walk
It was so nice to see Melody again
Jane got a booboo on her finger
Four stairstep girls lined up on the wall
It was fun traveling with just one little buddy.
We went to the science center for a bit before our flight home.
We ran out of time after tacos, so we had to get ice cream at the airport.
I loved spending a weekend with just Jane and catching up with my friend, who is such a great host.
