 Fall soccer team of #5

 #5 individual

 #4 with Coach Danielle (also #5's coach)

 Mom's favorite birthday gift

#2 practicing

Yummy mummy cookies we attempted

 #4 is getting better and better--really fun to watch because his teammates have been playing a lot longer, but are supportive as he improves

 Halloween trunk-or-treat.  #1 is the 'Y' (flanked by Landon and Ty), #2 is the Roman centurion, #3 is the Star Wars trooper, #4 is the Gronkel from "How to Train Your Dragon," #5 is the bat, and my nephew is Iron Man

 Gronkel face paint job

Mom's job was passing out candy.  People couldn't figure out who she was until she smiled.

 New nephew, Max!

Aunt Emma came for a visit.  Zack was a trooper to keep the kids.  We had such a great time--I cannot believe this is the only pic I took!!  We did Sam Moon and all the usual things, plus she did my dishes and we laughed and laughed and laughed.  Come again soon!!!

For the actual trick-or-treating, we switched it up a bit.  #s 1 and 2 passed out candy; #3 went as Noah (you'd think the ark would make him pretty recognizable, but I guess not too many people figured it out--one guy got close, guessing Moses...); #4 opted for Dracula; and #5 stuck with the tried and true bat.
