A day of rest update: Most of Saturday was spent just lounging around, doing  a whole lot of nothing. And it felt AMAZING! Sunday, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. But it did start with breakfast in bed from my lovely husband.

Check out that nannerpus a.k.a. an octopus made from a banana.

Then we got decked out in our red and green to get into the Christmas spirit because we had our Branstad family photos today. I can’t wait to see how these turned out!

Christmas in October

Then it was time for some Beggar’s night action. First stop, Marissa and Jim’s to check out the Bean in her ferocious costume.

Grrrrrrrr

Next up, Al and Jer’s house to Trick-or-Treat around the neighborhood.

Oh what a spooky sight!

And no Halloween would be complete without a little cupcake decorating.

Spider web, hand-drawn spider, caterpillar, Terrace Hill, mini pumpkins, Dracula

After all of that you can guess how tired we all are, even Karl! Tomorrow is a start to another week and I foresee some birthday thank you notes getting written.
