We had a fun weekend before Halloween, since Auggie is finally at the age where he (sort of) understands time and can get excited about something several days in advance.
Saturday started with family play in the house, and Daniel took Ella on a misty morning walk in the hills.
Afterwards, Daniel and Ella stayed home for nap(s), while Auggie and Agnieszka got to go to the El Cerrito Halloween Carnival. We got there just as they opened, since Agnieszka is not a fan of crowds. Auggie dressed up as a fireman. We found out on arrival that the carnival consisted of multiple games and after each game, the child got to pick a prize (usually candy). Since we were some of the first few people, we managed to go through all the games without standing in line. Auggie proved to be a powerful (and fairly accurate) lefty with some balls, righty with others. Afterwards, we bumped into Auggie's friend Colin and went through all the games again. Needless to say, there was a lot of candy...and Halloween was still four days away!
The evening ended with a beautiful sunset view.
The next day, we went to Babcia and Dziadek's house for pumpkin carving. Each year, the pumpking carving gets a little more adventurous. This year, Jeff brought a pumpkin carving drill attachment. Can you guess which kid loved that the most? Afterwards, kids had their picture taken with the pumpkins. Evan renewed his disdain for posed photos, so the one below is the best of the three.
