Halloween 2011

I realized that I never posted Halloween pictures.  I guess blogging hasn't been a priority lately.  Well here they are-- it's nice to remember life before the winter, not that I'm complaining about winter, but I like the green grass and flowers . . .


Anya in her Laura Ingalls costume and Talmage as Mario. 

 This is the the front of our house.  You'd think that someone as creeped out by spiders as Aaron is wouldn't make a giant spider web on the front porch.


 Here are our pumpkins all lit up.


We took this picture of a deer eating a bush in our backyard.  That's when the deer were a novelty.  Now they are so common place that we don't run for the camera when we see them.  I actually want to chase them out of the yard when I see them.  They come munch bushes outside the window and keep scarfing on my compost.  One morning the kids were freaked out by what they thought was a porcupine in the backyard that turned out to be the top of a pineapple one of the deer stole from the compost and than realized he didn't want it.  One good thing about these deer is they seem to look both ways before crossing the road.  I had a stand off with one on the road one morning.  I thought I'd wait for it to cross and it just kept standing on the side of the road looking at me.  I finally gave in and drove on.  After I passed I watched it in my rear view mirror check both ways and than cross.
