Pumpkin Carving

We had such a good time carving our pumpkins yesterday afternoon. We waited until Wade went down for a nap and then started carving. I even let the kids use the knife and do the carving themselves. The carving was serious business for Luke.

Hard at work. They all cleaned theirs out by themselves. Yay!!
Kate refused to put her hand inside the pumpkin. Yuck!

Group shot...I interrupted Luke's hard work.
I really do enjoy carving the faces on the pumpkins. I did the big ones and let the kids carve the faces on the small ones.

Angry Bird.


Fun times. Didn't they turn out neat?!?! Happy Halloween Everybody!!

Our Trip to The Pumpkin Patch

I always look forward to our trip to The Pumpkin Patch each year. We always have a fun time, and you never know who you might see there...my favorite part!

This year we saw a Beauty Queen.

Isn't she gorgeous in her pink sequin gown and beautiful tiara?!?!
Indiana Jones was there on a new adventure. I wonder what he was looking for at The Pumpkin Patch. Maybe we will see in his next movie.

Little Princess Peach was there looking as cute as she could be. She brought her hero Mario and his brother Luigi along with her.

Little Robin was there fighting some crime.
He sure was a happy little guy. I think he liked all the pumpkins!

When Robin is around you know Batman is not far away.

Here is the Dynamic Duo together.

Daddy wanted his picture taken with Robin. You don't see superheros everyday you know.
They were all nice enough to get together for a quick group picture.
Indiana Jones wanted his picture taken with Mama...I mean his favorite superhero Batman.
Can you imagine the stories of adventures and crime fighting these two are swapping?

So much fun!

Happy Birthday Pop Pop!!!

Happy Birthday to you Pop Pop!! We love you!! Hope you had a good day today!! We can't wait to see you and Granny at Thanksgiving!!

I had the idea of getting a few of my favorite Halloween pictures from the past to share, but this turned into way more than that. After I started looking, I had actually forgotten some of the costumes and how cute the kids looked in them. Soon my collection of favorites was really big, so I just decided to include them all. I hope you enjoy....I sure had fun looking back.

A Chick Chick Here, A Chick Chick There....

On Friday Kate, Wade, and I took a little field trip to my friend Christie's house to see her new baby chicks. Did you know you can order baby chicks through the mail? I learn something new everyday. They mail them to you right before they hatch and by the time they arrive they are hatched and ready to go. Christie has about seven of them. They are about a week or so old.

Kate thought it was pretty neat and cute...until it moved. She was all done holding baby chicks then.
This one looks like a penguin.
And on her farm Miss Christie also has a kitten. Wade was even interested by the kitten.
And on her farm Miss Christie has a donkey....named Rio.
With a hee haw here, and a hee haw there....
It was a fun little field trip for the kids.
