Halloween 2017

Just a couple of pumpkins

Ella and grandma doing the time warp, like her brother before her

A young Jedi (ask Des, and he’s “Luke Skywalker!”) and his astromech droid companion, R2-QT. Look out for the tauntaun behind you!

Scooby-Doo and his clever crime-solving cohort

Trying to balance it all, then adding gloves to the mix (because it was snowing!), and dad ended up carrying the light saber 

Despite the temperature and flurries, Eleanor was ecstatic!

Dividing up the spoils, Desmond makes mom and dad proud, selecting the Reese’s peanut butter cup

Eleanor putting everything in her mouth, including pumpkin innards. Mom explains why this isn’t good…

So she’s destined to watch this year from the sidelines

Desmond focused this year primarily on find just the right “mad” eyes via google image search, pumpkin sketching on paper and lid alignment

Eleanor relaxing with mom during Ernie’s birthday party

Desmond and Cal go (sit?) for a joy ride, though Des later someone talks Calvin into pushing around the yard

This is a stare of toy happiness, not toy jealousy…

Eleanor and dad hanging out with Nora

While everyone was napping, dad found a garter snake while mowing. It cannot be overstated just how brave dad was in eventually capturing the snake for Desmond to see later.

Wakey, wakey

Looking like she’s holding on for dear life during her second time riding in a cart
