HALLOWE'EN

Hallow'een is finally here and I had some friends over. This year was an unintentional "Knight" theme. I was a Ghost Knight, the boys next door came as knights, my brother was Bat Man (Dark Knight), and a friend and his sister from home-schooling came as well.

The boys' father made them horses and
the candy goes in the horses' mouths!



The Knights of Edinburgh!

I made this pumpkin tower!

A-Man at another spooky neighbour's house.

My friends' dad carved some really cool pumpkins.
These guys are Lego head monsters.

The neighbours down the road had an
awesome Nightmare before Christmas display.


Our neighbourhood seems to be pretty popular because people say that more houses in our neighbourhood get into the spirit of Hallowe'en. This house has a pumpkin killer man driving his truck while being attacked by giant spiders.


And this house just goes bananas! They have about 1o "actors" on the front lawn. One person's in a coffin, another sits dead in a chair and scares unsuspecting kids, there's a mad-scientist cutting into a screaming woman with a knife and you can hear her all night screaming at the top of her lungs! A couple of years ago they had a Grim Reaper on stilts (12' high!). Their decorations are amazing too.

FALL

YES! Hallowe'en is coming and it's one of my favourite times of year. We decided to practice early including the dogs.




Me and the boys next door built a car out of a cardboard box.

Then the next day we stepped it up a notch by making it out of something called wood.


My best friend and my family went for a hike up a mountain.


Parkour!

Parkour!


The A-Man slipped off the couch and hit his eyebrow on the coffee table and needed stitches :(

He's a toughy!





Major leaf pile festival!








My homeschooling group went to Brittania Mines in Squamish. Really cool because we got to take a train deep into the mountain and we also did some panning for gold! I got 3 flakes of gold and some fool's gold. The Scooby-Doo movie was filmed here which is awesome!


All aboard the Turkey Express!

After the mines we took a small hike to an awesome waterfall!


We went to the cottage with our friends for my dad's 30th...I mean 40th! He's an old, old man.

I got my butt handed to me playing Chess with Monkey.
He said I played pretty good though for my 2nd time!


Went for a hike and the beavers had dammed up the place and it flooded!
