Bret and Adam have spent the past week building and painting "Big Betty" the rocket. Today was the first launch attempt. It went fairly successfully, but the parachute got stuck to the inside of the cone from a little wayward paint which meant it didn't deploy for the landing. That turned out to be a good thing, as there was quite a bit of wind, but one fin got damaged during the landing. They did a quick fix when we got home and are ready for their next launch -- hopefully when there is less wind!!

We had another fun and entertaining Halloween this year! Here are the kids gutting their pumpkins.

They really wanted these big elaborate designs that they printed off the internet, but Bret told them they had to cut the designs out themselves, so they decided on good old-fashioned faces instead!!

The final products.....

We went to a friend's house in Auburn for trick-or-treating. Here is our princess and SWAT team member.

The gang.

The kids had a great time gathering candy throughout the neighborhood. This house was especially fun. It was a haunted casino and the kids had to spin a wheel to see how many pieces of candy they got or if they got something from the mystery bag!! Parents could then hit the tables set up in the casino (aka garage) and bet their kids' candy. My kids weren't going for it though. Selfish!! :)

Let the trading begin!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderfully ghoulish time as well!!!
