Halloween! Monkey style

Fall is here



There are millions of trees here in Milwaukee, our streets are lined with trees. To collect the leaves here all you have to do is rake them into the road and they have a snow plow looking thing that drives through the streets shoveling away the leaves.

This is just the beginning of the leaf drop our trees are still loaded with leaves. Regardless, Natalie loves playing in them, and throwing them in the air.

This is our sweetheart Natalie in her monkey costume, she loves it. We wanted to get her a butterfly outfit but she wouldn't have it. When we tried it on her she sat there looking at herself in the mirror and laughing. She, however, will not wear the monkey hood that goes with it.
She also loves pumpkins.

Trick o' treating here is kind of weird. Each city has certain hours of the day that they can trick o' treat and they were all on Sunday afternoon and they only last three hours. You also have to register your kid to trick o' treat, and pay. Messed up I know. Luckily the med school does a trick o' treat and Natalie loved it.

This is Natalie and Patrick walking through the portion of the medical school that looked like Candyland, everyone was dressed accordingly it was way cute.

Natalie only allowed candy in her bucket, some lady put some halloween stickers in her bucket and she promptly took them out and said "no" to the lady. Geez, to all of you who don't know you only give candy on halloween, Natalie even knows that.

Natalie loves stealing her dad's ping-pong balls that he has in his backpack, if she doesn't have enough hands she'll just stuff them in her mouth.

Oh and for all of you in places other than Wisconsin, I hope you are enjoying the cold weather. Here it is in the high 60's sunny and beautiful, and everyone told me it was going to be cold in Wisconsin, please. St. george doesn't even have that so why would we move there?
