Halloween Fun & the Second Half of October

Ella in her Bandita costume. She loved this costume and had to have it as soon as she saw it.

Lunch at school with her friends 

Sweet little pumpkins! 




 

Rainy afternoon at Kid Creations - we had a great time making mosaic letters 

Donating food at the food pantry at FCC - her Brownie Troop used the proceeds from last year's cookie sale to buy food for the food bank 

Pushing big baby  

Making pretzels with Dad 

Ready for Halloween in the Park with Grammy - matching Banditas! 



More lunchtime fun 

Brownie Troop Halloween Party

Halloween Day - we had really bad storms in the morning and lost power for a few hours. Ella decided to organize our candy on the stairs while we were waiting for it to come back on. 

Getting ready for our Halloween party - Mom made some very delicious drinks for the night. The best part of all - dry ice that was bubbling out of the bowl! There were poison apples and caramel apple martinis - they were a very big hit and made the party!

Ella and James 

With my sweet little pirate 


Ready to trick-or-treat! 



We had so much fun that night, definitely a Halloween to remember! 

Better late than never - Ella decorating her pumpkin to look like a vampire bat

Ella's Brownie Campout

Ella had her first overnight campout with Brownies in October. Saying she was excited for it is a massive understatement - she could barely sleep the week before and talked about nothing but the campout. 

At one of her troop meetings leading up to it, they learned to roll their sleeping bags and make knots


All packed on Saturday morning and ready to go

With Julia and Jocelyn at drop-off

Happy girls

In addition to crafts, water fun, and the color run, they had a campfire, cooked meals, did skits and sang songs, made smores, and just had a really good time together. She absolutely loved it. 

Finally asleep - it was 11:30 pm :)

They made it! Tired but happy the next morning

Her next campout is in March and she is already looking forward to it!

Beach Weekend

We spent the first weekend of October with the Callaways at their beach house. It was a beautiful, and sunny, felt like an extra summer weekend. As usual, we had an incredible time with them. 





Ella and James found many hermit crabs


Smores for dessert


We went back down to the beach at night for some more crab-hunting. 
Ella LOVES the evening crab-hunt :)

Cory and Guiness all tuckered out at bedtime
