Halloween

We went trick-or-treating on post because we heard that Germans don't celebrate Halloween.  At first, I wish we could have pulled the German card on this one.  But once we started making costumes and fixing hair, having a stress-free day, and a short cold walk of mostly TRUNK-or-treating, with the rest of our little Baumholder community, it was a lot of FUN!  Do you think that next year if I just wait til the last minute to throw stuff together it will be just as much fun?  Something tells me... probably not!  (but I think I might still try it)  :)

Haley like totally has the hair for this

Okay, Haley had to take an action picture for class using the right shutter speed.  After several shots of Emma jumping off a chair, they decided it would be even better if she had her angel costume on!  Nice job Haley!  And Emma!               Heavenly!

Random Fall Pictures    ...some the kids took

 

Kid's Photography

Jacob and Haley are taking a Photography class at the Co-op.  I wanted to share a couple pretty shots of theirs.

This barn is next door to us.

Another view of Gimbweiler.  This is looking down from the top of the hill that we see out our back door.

Haley has photographed all the horses around town.  We can see these ponies out our back door across the field.  The girls named them Stinker and Ice Cream Sundae.

 This one looks just like what you expected to see here doesn't it?!  This is Goldie.

 These beautiful horses are at the top of the big hill out of town.  We love getting to drive by them often.  When we first moved here our neighbor took the girls and I up here and let them ride one of the horses.  I regret that I did not ask about riding lessons this summer, but maybe next year we won't be as busy!  There are another set of horses but I can't seem to find the pics to upload right now... but you get the idea.  We live in the country and we love it!!!  : )

Soccer

We've had a great soccer season with Haley and Emma on the same team!  Fun! (and COLD at times!)  Our last game is this Friday.    (not the best shot but it's all I have)

 Remember those time when you had to play boring defender...  : )

Jacob is 13!!!!

 

  Jacob and his friends, all teenagers but one.

 

 

 

Creeper Cakes! 

If you have no idea... they are from Minecraft, a video game the kids love to play!  ( I love how google images can make me look like a highly creative person, just whipping out these cakes after  not knowing 2 days before what I would do! ha!)
