Bat Girl and The Green Ninja

 I only had two trick-or-treaters this year. :0( I don't like that my kids are getting older and growing out of the fun stuff. But Wade-o and Kate are still game. Kate found this Bat Girl outfit and had to have it because it matches her doll. Wade wanted to be a Green Ninja. Lucky for us we already had a green ninja costume. They both played the part well!

We didn't know if Kate was going to get to trick-or-treat this year or not. She has been sick for a week. I told her we could try. I gave her ibuprofen and a breathing treatment before we left. She made it around the block and got plenty of candy! She was happy!

Wade is such a pro at trick-or-treating and just loves it. This picture makes me laugh!

Wade got a bucket full of candy and was very proud! He was good to share too!

Luke's friend, Elijah, came as a ghost. He helped Luke pass out candy.

One shot before we headed off.

We ran out of candy pretty quickly. Luke said they came in packs. Our neighborhood usually has a lot of trick-or-treaters, but we must of had more than usual. It was a fun night! We started early and ended early. It was a great Halloween, and we have lots of candy to enjoy!

I guess I should mention Rachel was sick and in bed. She did manage to get up when we got home to pick out a few pieces of candy from the buckets.

Jack-O-Lanterns

Yesterday was finally the day we carved our pumpkins! Kate and Wade have been asking when for the last two weeks. As you can see, we are down a few helpers this year. Rachel was in bed sick and Luke seems to be just too cool for carving pumpkins. We had fun without them, so there!

The icky insides. The kids are past all the grossed out faces by now. Wade even thinks it smells good.

 I had to help with the clean out a little.

I turned Wade loose with the carving tools. He did it all by himself!! He only complained a little that his back and hand hurt toward the end.

I drew the face and he carved! He was proud of his work!

Kate wanted a Kitty Cat this year. We both worked on this one, but she did most of it herself.

The finished product.

Happy Jack

Kitty Cat

Linus

Linus looks better in person. The light does not shine through on the face an hair very good.

We had a good time carving our pumpkins. Just sad the bigger kids didn't participate. Maybe next year.

Fun On The Farm....Fiddlesticks Farm!

Two days of Fall Fun this week!! Yay!! Chris and Rachel were out of town today, so the other kids and I decided to go to Fiddlesticks Farms!! Fiddlesticks Farms is always one of our favorite places to go this time of year. It was a little hot for October at 95 degrees!! But we managed to have a good time!

The big chair was new for us. Fun pictures for someone who loves to rock!

Wade wants to be a fireman when he grows up, so we couldn't pass this opportunity up.

Next stop was our favorite....the bouncing pillow!

Luke has mastered the flip!

We tried out the corn cannons.

They were too loud for Wade's sensitive ears.....It amazes me how someone can be so loud and noises hurt his ears. 

Next up was the tractor.... or tractors. I love these pictures on the tractor every year and so do the kids!

And we try out the hay bale every year too.

We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch.

Wade has a new pair of boots. He loves them!!

Next we rode down the big slide.

Roped some calves.

Played some corn hole. Luke actually made two in a row!

We went through the corn maze. Turns out you would not want to depend on us to get you out of the maze. We might have cheated a little.

Then we rode some horses.

We also drunk a ton of water!! It was a fun Saturday!!
