Our Halloween Weekend!

Happy Halloween everyone! Our weekend was a lot of fun. It's so fun to dress up Joel in his Halloween costume and take pictures. He didn't understand what all the candy was for or why he had to hold his trick or treat bag, but he did get some yummy things from his grandma and grandpa's and aunt and uncles!

Here is Joel raiding grandma's candy stash! Mike went motorcyle riding and decided that's what he was going to be for Halloween, so I put on my normal Hermine Granger standby and borrowed Allen's magic wand and ta-da there's are Halloween costumes! Mike put his helmet on Joel -- it didn't really fit and it was to heavy for Joel. He couldn't even hold his head up!!! It was pretty funny to watch him fall over with this huge helmet on!

We also canned applesauce this weekend- yum, yum! And yes, it does take 4 people to run the applesauce strainer!

Well, living with in the Wilding household is never dull - even while doing applesauce! Someone thought that turning the handle was taking way to long -- so we improvised! Out came the drill! We replaced the handle for a power drill - it went much faster! Surprisingly it actually worked!

We also went up to the mountains and rode horses and went motorcycling and four-wheeling. This was Joel's first ride with Uncle Matt on his horse Apollo. Joel loved it- he just smiled away as they trotted away!

Mike went motorcyling and decided he wanted to ride Apollo too- so he went in his motorcycle stuff! It made for a pretty funny picture!

I faced my fear of horses and decided to go for a ride too! I took the horse that was stubborn and didn't want to move! Just my kind of ride!!! I actually had a lot of fun- and suprisingly wasn't the least bit scared. Maybe all the times I was forced to go before did some good!
It was a busy weekend! But we had fun and Happy Halloween!
