Yesterday was buddy day at the kids' karate class. They were to dress in their Halloween costumes and bring their buddy. They went as Shrek and Fiona
Holdens buddy was Kiley, of course.

Kenzies buddy was uncle Greg. Kenzie has lots of friends but she chose Greg to be her buddy. Greg was such a good sport about it. He even won a ribbon for his costume. It was lots of fun.

Thanks to our buddies for coming with us. Especially Uncle Oscar Meyer. You were an awesome giant karate kickin' wiener. Everyone would be in love with you

Sunday night we decided to carve our pumpkins.
Everyone designed their own.

A few of the finished masterpieces.
Holdens

Gregs

and Jordans

A fun tradition.

For any of you who have been following the progress on the tree house, sorry it has been so long since I posted anything. As you can see Norm has finished the roof with these rustic shake shingles which I thought added alot of character to it.

By the end of the day today we had the outside completely painted with "Mickeys' Pants red" and I loved the way that turned out. Im greatful for all of Norms hard work on it. He told me today that it is quite possibly the coolest thing he has ever built. I'm thankful that Pops did a great job on the upstairs. (Kiersten that was for you)
