Fantastic Fall Friends Visit

This fall has really been spectacular - which is nice given how short and rainy was summer. We were very fortunate to have our friends the Kaspers visit us the weekend after the Johnstons and before Halloween. They have an almost 5 year old and a 14 month old who matched up nicely with our babies. Noah is a charmer and baby Grace won everybody over with her cuteness. Especially Elliot who asked if we could get a little baby like Grace, and name it "Costco".
Elliot got herself dressed for swim lessons. And looked generally at ease during this photo shoot (who took these? Ben? Kassi?) Anyhow, I missed this ensemble until I found it on the camera and it could be an album cover - maybe that's just the leg warmers as sleeves talking.
Samantha busted out of the sing along at Stella Bella to check out the train set. Chooo Chooo.
We got serious with the pumpkin carving and painting. Jen and Ben really took the cake in carved creations. Sammy & I were sorting seeds, which we all ate - and I still contend that someone should NOT have been giving the seeds to Sammy, but we all lived. We also painted pumpkins. Noah was really into it and only wanted to paint his red. All red. Top to bottom red. Why? Well it is blood he told us. A blood pumpkin and it will scare the robbers away. I am happy to report that it worked and for the week we had the blood pumpkin, through Halloween, no robbers. Let's hope that continues.

Ben is reading stories and going over the rules of the sleepover. Kassi is a superstar for kicking us out and putting all 4 babies to bed. You see a glimpse again, of the orphanage style slumber - the floor bed rules over the red bed any day. Duh!
