Over the weekend

For such a cold, foggy start to October it sure is pretty--chilly, but nice. Just right for a hot air balloon "glow." I have never been to a hot air balloon event, but I have always wanted to. This one was close to home and at decent time (not the crack of dawn!), so we planned to go. We got to see them at every stage. It was so fun and the kids squealed to see the balloons inflate, then again when they fired up the burners! In the air they don't look that big, but up close they are huge! It was great!

As the sun went down, they would glow when the burners were lit. It was so pretty!

I was experimenting with my camera, and this one turned out kind of fuzzy, but it has everybody in it. Granny and Papa enjoyed experiencing it with the kids. And of course, Papa was interested to see how it all worked. All I have to say is thank goodness for cell phones or we never would have found him! ;)

The next morning there was a race, and SweetBoy woke me up, "The balloons are in the air!" So much for missing the crack of dawn part! It was kind of neat to see them. We counted 21 along the horizon.

Then Saturday evening it was time for the big Trunk-or-Treat at Granny & Papa's church. The kids had fun dressing up and getting candy. We usually go to SweetHeart's Mamaw's and help her pass out candy, so we had not really ever done serious candy gathering. Oh my goodness! We had three buckets FULL of candy! The kids had fun playing games and getting their faces painted. Here are my munchkins... SweetTate as Steve on Blue's Clues, Sweetboy as a knight with a baseball helmet (the knight's helmet was too small and he had to have a helmet--it makes sense to a 3rd grader!), and SweetDoll as Sharpay. Here we go!

Some of the Trunk-or-treat hosts went all out!

He is the clue!

Too fun! Hope ya'll are enjoying the fall!
