Fall...My Favorite Season!

 It snowed yesterday. That officially marks the end of fall for us (at least on the Spark Family calendar). So sad...here were some of our highlights:

 Lots of leaf pile jumping! 

 And backyard soccer. This has become a family favorite activity. Usually right after dinner we head out and Cooper and I take on Carter and Tim. Crosby plays for both teams:) 

 The boys want to help and are right on the cusp of actually being helpful. Carter especially! Oh how I loved the colors of changing leaves!! 

 Superheros on the loose! 

 More playing in the leaves. It works out pretty well...I can rake and they can play. We get some work and play done simultaneously! 

Nothing says fall like Fall Retreat! I already posted about our weekend in Devils Lake but a student just sent me this cute picture.  

 We have to pick Carter up from school at 3 every day. While the weather permitted we would get him and then play at the park for an hour or so before heading home. I'm not ready for winter. WE LOVE FALL!!!

Halloween

 Candy and costumes...two of my boy's favorite things!  

Cooper got to dress up for pre-school and wanted to be Batman AND Robin:)

 For trick-or-treating the boys decided to be Woody, Buzz and Andy from Toy Story. I had been pushing for this for some time but never thought they would all agree to it. They surprise me every once in a while! I asked Cooper to give me a couple of cowboy shots and he struck lots of poses! 

 My sweet Buzz! 

The trio all set to walk around the block. It was chillllllly. We made it around the block and Carter begged to go home. In fairness they didn't want jackets because it would mess up their costumes:)

 Kimmie came with us and we were both pretty pumped by the loot the kids got! 

 Tim and I have eaten far more candy than the boys have in the past couple of days:) This should last us until March!
