Halloween 2015

Halloween preparations have been in full swing for a month already with decorating the house and deciding on costumes. Yesterday we carved our pumpkins, roasted the seeds (Worcester sauce seeds being the best!) and made pumpkin bread with the pumpkin flesh.

This year we spent Halloween in our new neighbourhood of Timberlake. Whilst Alice and David went trick or treating with their friends, Rob and I took Evan out with our neighbours and their two sons who are just a little younger than Evan. As usual the kids came home with an enormous bounty of sweets and chocolate. Our neighbours set up a barbeque in our cul-de-sac, so we ended the evening sitting around a fire pit eating hot dogs and getting to know everyone.

National Walk To School Day

Rockenbaugh once again took part in the national walk to school day. Everyone met at Wentwood Pool, just around the corner from our old house, and walked to school from there. The morning was extra special for Evan as Rockenbaugh's boy scouts got to say the pledge then lead the walk by carrying the US flag. Evan donned his uniform and took his turn carrying the flag, he loved it!
