Halloween-y Things

Talmage painted a pumpkin that a friend from church grew in her garden. How cool is that? T made it look festive and wonderful! Holiday crafts. T cut the pumpkin and grass all by himself and I was so impressed. I love the little Evie foot-ghost and T and Evie spider-hands! We went to T's preschool for a Halloween party and Evie was specifically invited ;) He seriously ran the whole way there. T kept saying, "Mom, shouldn't we put da baby...

He frequently can be found plopped down right in the middle of the courtyard basketball hoop--he just loves to watch the big boys play (and they are SO nice to him!)On Friday Stanford had their first scrimmage and the boys were excited to suit up in Stanford gear to cheer for our Cards.
