Scott was doing a few repairs in the house today. Ava thought it looked pretty fun and wanted to try her hand at it!

Burning down the house
The three of us drove to Horseshoe Bend on Saturday morning to watch Mom and Dad burn down the house on their property. It was quite a show. Photo gallery link to all the pictures here. Ava just couldn’t wrap her head around why someone would purposely burn down a house (to build a new one in the same spot in this case).
Here’s a few highlights. The fire department supervised the burning and was very helpful.
A few gallons is all it takes…
And let the games begin!
Started small in a corner of one room.
But after about 5 minutes it was a roaring fire.
We had to leave before everything burned down to the ground, but it didn’t take long to get this far.
It was a perfect day for burning, very little wind kept things in control.
Halloween Fun!
Preschool Party ~ The kids all got to wear their costumes to school. During the last 45 minutes of class, parents arrived and helped out with the Halloween party. Ava dressed up as a pink poodle and called herself KiKi.. a pink poodle on Clifford.
Here is Ava picking out beads to put on her spider legs. I don’t know if it was a coincidence but she picked out exactly eight pink beads!
Carving Pumpkins ~ Ava didn’t really care for the smell of the pumpkins so she didn’t really participate in the carving and cleaning. But she did tell me what shape to carve for her “punkman’s” eyes, nose, and mouth.
I was busy preparing seeds for baking so Scott decided to help carve my pumpkin!
Trick-or-Treating ~ Max came over to trick-or-treat with Ava. They were so cute together and Max was very patient. Ava took her time walking up to doors, Max patiently waited. Ava stopped to pick up leaves, Max patiently waited. After getting candy, Ava would ask people if she could pet their dog, Max patiently waited. Ava dropped her baby leaf on someone’s porch, Ava wouldn’t walk away until she found it.. Max patiently waited.
