Holst Halloween Party

Every year at Halloween Grandma Holst hosts a Halloween party. It has been several years since we have been able to go. This year it worked out for us to attend which also meant I had my Mom available to take these amazing pics of my kids in their costumes.

"Trick or Treating" at Grandma's door.
Faith watching for Uncle Cody to arrive.
Titus eats...I means opens his Halloween bucket.
Papa helps Faith open her surprises.
My grandma has been making homemade salsa, pizza, & spaghetti sauce with tomatoes from the farm. I got to choose some to take home for our family. This was my favorite part! I LOVED the black bean and corn salsa.

Leaf Raking

The Saturday before Halloween Grandpa Rick came for the day. We raked leaves in our yard for burning and the guys also built shelves for the shed in our backyard. Grandpa treated us to pizza for lunch. It was a beautiful fall day- wish the leaves in our yard were colorful but.....these pics are still cute.

Here the girls are "helping" with the shelf building. Grandpa brought us the orange truck so we would have it for Trunk or Treat the next day.
Thanks for your help grandpa!

Gracie, Gracie how does your "garden" grow?

Earlier this fall the girls were playing outside and pretending to plant a garden. They were hoeing digging, and raking some dirt in an old flower bed under our porch, now covered in rocks. At one point I caught them using Jeremy's bucket of grass seed for the yard to actually plant in their "pretend" garden. Later on Jeremy called me to come look. Their garden had indeed grown- a beautiful grass crop! They were so proud. Jeremy and I just laughed and laughed. Among all the rocks they planted grew beautiful brand new grass. We joked that they needed to help daddy as they grew more grass then he did!
