No more builiding walls! Let's have FUN!

Legoland and Ben's Birthday

After we finally finished up the wall we went out and had some fun! With Ben's birthday and Halloween, we had some good excuses to play.

For Ben's birthday we decided to go to LegoLand. Everyone had a great time. We started off making our own Lego Pumpkin for their Halloween display.

Then we visited the Lego version of Kansas City, all decked out for Halloween.

We Wouldn't be in Kansas without reference to the Wizard of Oz. Here is Dorothy's house spinning in the tornado. (yes, the house really spun and lifted off the ground.)

Then Dorothy landed in Munchkin Land. Follow the Yellow Brick Road...

...To the City of Oz.

Where you will try to meet the Wizard.

But first you must go to the Witch's castle to kill her.

Ding, Dong the witch is dead. Now the ruby slippers can take us to a Chief's game.

Then to a Royal's Game.

And Finally the Kansas Speedway.

Ben feels right at home swimming in legos.

Home from Legoland but not done with Legos. The big birthday gift - Ninjago's Destiny's Bounty.

Heath spent 2 hours building it.

 

Ben spent 2 minutes making it fall apart. But he loves it so much and if he could sleep with it he would.

 The Great Pumpkin Carving

This is Dilly's new picture pose.

Emmett isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, well for a minute.

Heath goes to work. Dilly wouldn't even stick his hand in the pumpkin. But Heath made sure he touched some pumpkin  guts.

Ben did his pumpkin almost all by himself and it looked great!

Finished!

I had to post a picture of Dilly's Spider Lights. We had fun decorating.

 

Trick or Treat!

 I never got a good picture of Connor. While he loves to dress up, I'm not sure how much he loves Halloween. They day was fun, yet hard for him. He had a great day at school but once we got home things changed a bit. We decided to take advantage of one of the local businesses and their trick or treat activity. We ended up at HyVee trick or treating through the store. Connor hated it. But give the other boys candy and they are all for it.

My little Spiderman looked great! Connor is a ninja but would not look at the camera.

Watch out! Here come the Morgan boys!

 Ready to go trick or treating. We found our neighborhood is a great place for trick or treating. There are lots of houses close together so you don't have to go very far to get a lot of candy. Even when only 1 in 4 houses are participating. They would have stayed out longer but for Ben nature was calling. They got a great stash of candy. Connor decided to stay home where he prefers to hand out the candy. I loved the kids who recognized him from school. They would say, "Look, It's Connor!" One little girl wanted to make sure I knew she was his friend. She told me, "I'm Connor's friend from school." Loved it!

Trying out the witches hat.

We had a great Halloween and are ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
