Celebrating Halloween Already

It has been pretty cold here in Idaho, much colder already than we would like. We were thinking of taking Ada to pick our family pumpkin this year, but a few days ago (being September and way too early to get a pumpkin) but the temps get down to 25 at night so they have been frozen! So we got our Wal-Mart pumpkin which Ada picked out. And see the pictures and the new video of Ada coloring (I know, yes, much less dramatic than the last video, but I think to most of you, that's a good thing!).
Ada in her cat balaclava-which is supposed to cover everything but your eyes, but Ada won't wear it like that...yet.

Checking this new guy out
This picture is a keeper!
Adas' new LL Bean backpack, which she LOVES! Thanks for sending it Emily and Jon! We hope this will help her during church and on the plane in about a month and a half.

Something we decided to try for Halloween (but by changing the Jell-O color it can be for any holiday). If anyone wants the recipe let me know!
(this version we called Slime Popcorn-Josh thought calling it Bugger popcorn was going a bit too far...drat!)
Riding on Daddy; Ada loves this! He is her favorite toy.
Me, not so much, as I don't rough-house with her like Daddy does.

I absolutely agree about the picture of Ada with the pumpkin - what a great smile!!! How many shots did it take to get that one? I also love the face you put on it... where did you find those facial features? So much faster / safer than using a big knife... or in Jon's case, power tools. Oh and cute Tigger suit - I love it!

Aw I love the pictures! I wish it got that cold here in Cali!!! But at least it is finally starting to feel a little like Fall (well they call it Fall here), 60's and 70's during the day, low 50's 40's at night...so not too bad! No Pennsylvania though :( Miss you!

Love all the pictures especially the ones of Ada with the pumpkin, like the face on the pumpkin. The little Tigger is cute also. Love,

Ada looks adorable in her Halloween outfit, (the top part). I love the pumpkin idea. Abby just fell in love with the baby tigger. We are all looking forward to seeing all of you soon!
