Halloween 2011 - Part 1

We had a great time on Friday night at a house party with our Lawrence friends.  I slacked and missed pictures of most of the people - oops!

Our costume! 

 Eric as The Stig - the driver from Top Gear

 Me with Sara Mae - she's the one who owns Moonshine, the crazy cat the Eric and I have cat-sat a few times.

Eric drinking with his helmet on. 

NBC's The Cape.  They can choke you from a midrange distance! 

Shannon and Taylor. 

 Steven and Grant

Brian and Eric shot gunning.

I was washing my makeup off in the car...the eye makeup took quite a bit of convincing.  Eric just about died laughing at how serious my face looked.

On Saturday, we all woke up for a cinnamon roll and egg breakfast, and then went back to sleep for a 4 hour nap!

Another Family Weekend!

Another picture post... because it is easier to caption photos than it is to tell a story!

Mom drove Andrew and i out to Topeka for breakfast with Kris, Ashley drove in from Hays and met us there.

Andrew enjoyed playing on the iPad on the way to Union Station, he covered it with finger prints.

Andrew LOVES trains, he was in heaven.

Ashley and I on the hand car.

Ashley and Andrew sword fighting, he was pretty good!

Uncle Eric watching TV with Andrew.

Sarah, Andrew, and me at the "Fire-Water" event on the plaza.

Mom, Alan, and Deb at Fire-Water.

Paul and Eric made it down to the creek after about an hour looking for a parking spot.

Andrew loves his strobe stick - and cried when I had to take it from him to fix the strap (so he wouldn't drop it in the creek).

The fire pits floating on Brush Creek.

Andrew was really intrigued by all of the people and the fire.

Not especially impressive, but pretty cool.

Andrew was SO sad about the sun coming in the window on the way to church.

Uncle Eric and Andrew with his "Sadie" balloon.

Andrew visiting Grammy's tree.

Phew, I'm glad our Squish is only the size of a peach right now!  Pumpkins are huge!

Just a priceless facial expression.

Andrew LOVED throwing the straw in the air.

Nana and her grandmonster.

Eric rode his bike to and from the pumpkin patch because we didn't have enough seats in the car for him.  He didn't mind.
