Stoddard Family: October 2008

We hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween. We are looking forward to taking Brooklyn out for her first trick or treating. We won't be going far just to a few neighbors and then she can help pass candy out. On Saturday we took her to a trick or treating event in town. She was more interested in taking a ride in the stroller than getting candy from people. On Wednesday night, the Youth at our church put on a Halloween Party for the children. Brooklyn enjoyed playing the bean bag toss and hanging out with her babysitter. At the Halloween Party they had a costume contest. Brooklyn was the winner of the Cutest Costume and Brady was the winner of the most Creative Costume.

Leaves

Fall is almost over here in South Dakota. Most of the tress are bare and the lawns are full of leaves. Especially our lawn since we have seven trees. Last week we worked on raking up the leaves. Brooklyn had a blast playing outside in the pile of leaves. She would take handfuls of leaves and try and put them back on the little bushes we have out front. She also filled the trunk of her little car with leaves. Brady watched us while he sat bundled up in his carseat. We look forward to Halloween and seeing all the costumes next week. Here are some pictures we took.
