Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch last weekend, and of course the kids each got to pick out a pumpkin. Lots of pictures to share:




Attempting to get a good photo of all 3 kids. Sadly, this was the best one.

Lots of little pumpkins! Emmy actually took this photo, and I love it!








I love this face!













Found their pumpkins

P.S. We are moving back to Michigan. Very soon! Ray has actually been up there about 2 months now, working at his new job. We are in process of buying our new home, and the movers will be here to pack us up next week! Lots going on right now! :)

Happy Halloween!

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween weekend, despite the fact that Ray had to work a lot. The kids had fun with pumpkins, trick or treating, and a party at our neighbor's house. A few pictures...




Carving pumpkins - this is the first year we could get Emmy to actually stick her hand inside the pumpkin goo without crying. :)

Pumpkin Patch 09

Pooky really liked the baby pumpkins










My cuties
















I love this one!










So many pumpkins....

















And Emmy had to pick the ugliest, wart-iest one there was!

Halloween 08

My two little trick-or-treaters. I cannot get a decent shot of both of them. Pooky did not want his picture taken.






Again - Pooky would rather look at the flowers than the camera. The two of them were so fricken adorable though!










My Superman loves his candy







Emmy, the "nice witch" does too. (She wanted to make it very clear that she was dressed as a nice witch, not a scary one).



Hope that everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!

Boo!

In honor of Halloween today, my friend Kmommy has boo-ed me. Thanks Kmommy! I will be boo-ing some bloggy friends today.
We have a fun halloween planned for today, so check back soon for pictures of my cuties in their costumes...
Happy Halloween!!

Carving Pumpkins

It was punkin carving night at our house, something that I look forward to every year. First, I love going to the pumpkin patch and seeing all of those beautiful orange pumpkins. Then I love carving them - cleaning out all the goop and seeds, and carving the perfect face.
Now that I have kids old enough to enjoy it with me, it should be even more fun, right?

















Emmy refuses to stick her hand inside the pumpkin. Despite our pleading and begging for her to just touch the goop, she gets all hysterical. And I get frustrated, because that is the best part! (she did the same thing last year... I thought she would be better now)








Our finished products!












Emmy loved looking at them after they were done, and not slimy. :)











Pooky wouldn't touch the goop either, but he does still like looking at the "poppies".

Pumpkin Patch

So, I haven't blogged in a week. I don't really have a reason, other than I was feeling lazy, fighting off a cold, and enjoying the lovely cool fall weather. Plus I am addicted to Facebook right now, so all of my computer time has been wasted there.

Anyways, this evening we went to a pumpkin patch with the kids, one of my favorite fall activities. Pooky has been very into pumpkins this year. Every time he sees one, he gets very excited (and this happens several times a day, since pumpkins are everywhere right now!) and starts yelling "Poppy! Poppy! Look Mommy, poppy!" (poppy = pumpkin, for those of you that don't speak Pook-ese). So, the pumpkin patch was incredibly exciting - it was so funny watching him running around, from pumpkin to pumpkin, getting more and more excited, yelling about "poppies" the whole time we were there. And of course, Emmy was fun too, trying to pick out the perfect pumpkin.



I love pumpkins!
