Carving Pumpkins

We carved our pumpkins just a few days before Halloween this year and the boys totally got into it.  In previous years it has been mostly Ryan and I handling the messy stuff but they decided to really dig in this time!

This shocked us!!!  Noah is usually very cautious about slimy stuff...

Drawing the face he wanted us to carve.

Silas's pumpkin face!

Pumpkin kisses!

The face Silas ended up drawing!

The finished pumpkins, the witch was Daddy's!

Trick-or-Treatathon

Here are a few pics of the boys at the Trick-or-Treatathon out at The Reserve.   They got to dress in their costumes to run their 1k and thought it was pretty awesome that the announcer was cheering for them AND they got a huge bag of Halloween candy when they were done!   It was pouring down rain and we were a soaking mess by the time we left but the boys had such a fun time I am sure we'll do it again next year :)  

Pumpkin Patch

A few pics from our annual trip out to Jim Dandy's!  Ryan got off work early one evening and we ran out there in between rain storms before it got dark :)

Apparently they really had to go
after our 25 minute drive there...
Classy as always :)

It might be a little heavy...

Oops, I dropped it!!!

Cheese!

Our little muscle man!

Teamwork!

My boys!

Pumpkin and honey stick hat!
The ladies at the farm always give the boys each a little
pumpkin and we always get them a fresh
honey stick, love Jim Dandy's!!!

Plumper Field Trip

Here are some pics from our school field trip to Plumpers Pumpkin Patch this year.  We lucked out with the weather and had a beautiful clear day to play!  I figured we would stay for an hour, maybe two and then head home by lunch...  We ended up staying for over three hours because the boys were having so much fun!

Ready to go!!!

First time up to the giant slide!!!

Cousins!

On top of the hay slide!

Noah and Carter led the way through the corn maze!

Taking a little break...

They LOVED the swimming pool of grain!
I swear I still occasionally find this stuff in the dryer...

The hay ride! (Noah looks scared)

Found it!

Back on the slides!

More hay climbing!

I caught this one with all four of them looking!

We'll be back next year!
