who you gonna call?!

Landon became obsessed with the Ghostbusters movie earlier this year. So when we started thinking about Halloween costumes his choice was easy! Coincidentally the youth in Sam's church class have called Crew, "Stay Puft", since we brought him to church for the first time. We got plenty of use out of our costumes at various parties through out the week.Ward Trunk-or-Treat.The Shelley's Halloween partyGoody bags and treats I made for Landon's class party
Since this happened...the Governor tried to tell everybody that Halloween would be cancelled this year, and that nobody was to go trick-or-treating. We rebelled and Landon came home with a nice haul! To end things on a brighter note, this will be our last snowy Halloween!

sleepy hollow

After hearing about last year's adventure, Sam was so happy he could join us this year for the Jack-o-Lantern Blaze. Fall is so pretty here and the drive gave us a chance to see all the beautiful leaves. We got there early this time so we could explore the little town of Sleepy Hollow.
The Sleepy Hollow Cemetery is HUGE, and actually very beautiful. There are many famous people buried here, including Washington Irving, who wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

disney world

Richard and Erica were kind enough to let us glom onto their trip to Disney World last month. They rented a super nice condo, and took great care of us at all the parks! We didn't have to even think about where to go or what to do next. They even took care of all the Fast Passes, and it seems like we never waited in line for more than 20min all week! Landon had so much fun playing with his cousins and riding on all the "big kid" rides!

The kids got these from the balloon man at the restaurant. Landon cherished his for weeks and finally threw it away a couple days ago.

He still talks about all the rides we got to go on. Sam was so sad he had to miss out. He is in his 5th clinical rotation and absences are not allowed. Hopefully we get to do this again soon!
