Halloween

Despite it being a very, very chilly and windy Halloween, we enjoyed dressing up in our Star Wars themed costumes.  Matt was Darth Vader, I was Princess Leia from when she is on Endor, and Phin was an Ewok.  

Phineas trick-or-treating

While we waited for the very few trick-or-treaters that braved the weather, Phineas got to see Star Wars for the first time.

 

Trucks, Trunks, and Treats

This weekend our city put on an event called "Trucks, Trunks, and Treats".  We got to dress up, see all kinds of cool trucks that are in our community, and get a few treats along the way.  Our costumes aren't fully complete yet...so you'll just have to wait for closer to Halloween. We are going with a Star Wars theme this year. :)

Walk For Hearing

This past Sunday we attended the Chicago Walk for Hearing that helps raise awareness and money for hearing loss.  It was an incredibly beautiful day and the walk took us along the lake with a gorgeous view of downtown.

Phin's favorite part of the day was Mellie, the mascot of one of the cochlear implant companies.  He thought she was very funny and he didn't want to take his eyes off her.  Look at that smile!

We even tried to take a picture with Elsa from Frozen, but as you can see, Phin could have cared less and is pointing at his elephant. 

Apple Picking

This past weekend we went on our annual trip to the apple orchard to pick apples for our apple pies.  The weather was beautiful, so naturally there were a thousand people there.  We did a few good pictures.

Phin really liked watching people using the fruit pickers.  He thought it was very funny.

Happy Birthday Uncle Joey!

Phineas would like to wish his Uncle Joey a very happy birthday!  He hopes that you enjoyed the gift of an OSU win. :)  He is very excited to see you in only one week!  Happy Birthday Uncle Joey!

 

Congrats Cousins Paul and Jessi!

This post is coming a little late, but we all had a great time celebrating the marriage of Cousins Paul and Jessi in Cleveland a few weekends ago.  Here are a few pictures from the big day.
