Halloween week

 Pictures uploaded backwards again this week. You never know what you're gonna get with blogger!

The kids have had a lot of fun playing in the melting snow this week.

Alice's Halloween outfit today.

Cool photo of Grandma and Grandpa Emery on their mission to the Philippines.

Paul and I went on a date this morning that included a walk around the state capitol building.

We also had a nice walk through Miller Nature Park.

Paul doing "to be or not to be" in a little amphitheater:)

A giant outdoor fireplace in front of an old church.

I love going on early morning dates with this guy.

Last night's sunset.

Paul's monster. The odd-shaped pumpkin he chose did most of the work.

Grace's octopus.

Charlie's Jack Skellington.

My jack-o-lantern.

Danny's ghost.

Cleaning out the guts.

Painted pumpkin at the library.

Grace had to wear a costume for a class zoom, so she was a squid. Alice decided to dress as a dragon to surprise the boys. They've been into dragons lately.

They made a cute dragon restaurant!

Wearing Grandma Terisa and Paul's old shirts.

Now Paul's pics. Capitol today.

Outdoor brunch at Gourmandise. Paul's Prosciutto & Truffled Artichoke Sandwich (prosciutto, artichoke truffle spread, fresh mozzarella, wild arugula, pimento peppers & roasted artichoke hearts on baguette) and my Smoked Turkey Monte Cristo (smoked turkey, raspberry onion jam, & gruyere on cranberry walnut bread. Panko breadcrumb encrusted & crisp-fried). Plus we both got French onion soup. Yum!

Cute little bird on our walk at Miller Nature Park.

Carving pumpkins last night.

Doing the weather news in front of a green screen at the Clark Planetarium.

You wouldn't know it by their shirts, but they really do get along:)

Charlie's "motorcycle with side cars" for him and his little brothers. Notice Sharky's head sticking out the front!

Snow on the tramp.
