A busy weekend

I guess you could say the weekend activities started late Thursday night with a blowout game. The kids were out late - we didn't get home until 1:00 p.m., surprising the kids were awake the entire time.
Gabe had his own little fan club. He sure is a ladies man.
This little guy is now 3. Gabe's birthday is the day before Halloween. The kids had heard about Boo at the Zoo on the radio all week and so Gabe decided that's what he wanted to do for his birthday. Boo at the Zoo and eat at a pizza restaurant. We went early on Friday to the zoo in order to avoid the crowds. The kids had a great time. Gabe of course was hilarious. He occasionally let out a roar and even screamed at the sight of some kid dressed up like a skeleton. Madi was a bit nervous at times but all in all had a great time.
The pumpkin walk had several of these picture boards. We took the kids to the pumpkin walk just after the carnival. Again, we went early to avoid the crowds. Trick-or-Treating was from 4 to 7 and we were through looking at all of the displays by 3:30.
The Halloween carnival at the school was a fun afternoon activity. Madi loved the games, but again was a bit nervous with all of the people. She's our little worrier.
The spiders in Rusty's hair were a big hit with the kids. When Gabe or Madi found one on the floor they shouted out "SPIDER EMERGENCY", and picked it up to be placed back into her hair. I was surprised Gabe would even touch the things - he's is deathly afraid of spiders, fake or real.
Here's Madi practicing her dance moves on her "stage". She's got it going on.
Sunday I took a few family photos for Jeremy and Carol.
