Halloween

A few nights before Halloween, Hattie and Brandon wanted to carve some pumpkins.  I carved a Hawkeye out of one pumpkin and Ruby drew on her pumpkin with markers.  




She did "help" me with the pumpkin guts but was more interested in playing with the seeds.



Ruby was a bumblebee this year for Halloween, thanks to some wonderful neighbors who let us borrow a costume some of their children had worn in previous years.  She wasn't too interested in wearing the hood but thankfully it was a very nice night so it was fine that she didn't have anything on her head. 

We were invited to another ER doctor's house for pre-trick-or-treating festivities along with a few other families.  One of the spouses put together this hayride for the kids.







Then we took Ruby around our neighborhood.

She loved trick-or-treating and kept saying "more candy."  Ruby can usually be kind of shy around people she isn't very familiar with, but apparently, if you give her candy she will tell you whatever you want to know!  She had so much fun, she even needed to trick-or-treat at her own house!  ;)



We made a quick stop at Uncle Kenny and Aunt Carrie's.  
Ruby, Daddy, and Kinnick...her bumblebee friend. 


Ruby and Tate...who wasn't too happy for his first Halloween since he had gotten shots earlier in the day.  


Ruby's BFF "Coopy"

We have been blessed with some really great neighbors in Sioux Falls.  Most of the kids are older than Ruby, but we have been able to have many playdates with Cooper who is about 8 months older than Ruby.  Ruby and Cooper love each other!  When they see each other they instantly run towards each other to give big hugs!

(they played a little video and Ruby wanted to lay down by Cooper but she chose to lay down backwards...she doesn't have much interest in TV yet)
