Halloween

We had a lot of Halloween fun this year, starting with a visit to the pumpkin patch. We hit up Garver Family Farms and were thrilled to learn that you can go out into the patch and cut your own pumpkin! Sadly, we waited until the weekend before Halloween to go, and the only pumpkins left were either green or rotten. We did have fun in the giant pumpkin patch, though, and we were able to pick a pre-cut pumpkin from the barnyard. Wyatt also found a ginormous pumpkin stem that he still loves to examine.

 A couple of days before Halloween, we set out to carve our pumpkin. Daddy graciously volunteered to pull the guts out, and Mommy carved the face. Here's the final product...

We attended a couple of fun parties--one with MOMS Club and one with Wyatt's preschool--but the real fun was trick-or-treat! Jackson didn't go out, but he dressed up as a tiger...

Colby was a fierce dinosaur, and he absolutely LOVED trick-or-treating this year!

 

Wyatt was a trash can! He and Mommy made this costume together, so it was extra special, and you can bet that he was the only kid out there dressed as a trash can!

Mommy and Daddy didn't dress up, but we sure did enjoy watching the kids living it up! (We may also have enjoyed eating one or two or thirty pieces of the kids'candy as well!)
