We're ready for Trick or Treaters!

Pumpkin Carving 2014

This was the first year that we actually carved pumpkins.  We've painted, put stickers on, & made "Mr Potato Head" Pumpkins in previous years; but today the kids got to touch the insides.

Reagan was not happy to put her hands in the pumpkin

 Cooper thought it was fun!

 Or, maybe it was a little gross!

 Look how disgusted Reagan is with the whole process (...and carving was her idea!)

 dad to the rescue...but still an unhappy face!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Painting 2011

We finally got around to painting our pumpkins today.  

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Cooper's class went on another field trip today.  This time it was to visit the pumpkin patch.  Cooper said he rode a wagon, walked through corn (maze), saw cows & horses, climbed and picked out the best pumpkin ever!

Visit to the Farm - Part I

We spent some family time yesterday and went to a local farm/pumpkin patch.  We spent about 4 hours there going through the corn maze, picking out our pumpkins, having a picnic lunch, playing on the farm and visiting the farm animals.
