Pumpkin Patch

My parents were both in town this last weekend so we decided to head to the pumpkin patch for some fun. My Mom was here for two weeks helping me and my Dad came for the weekend to see the newest addition. It was nice having them here and seeing our new house, etc. We got to test the guest room. It seems to have passed the test, as well as the guest shower and the hot water heater.

We had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch. Dylan rode in the Baby Bjorn and after about 20 mins fell asleep for the rest of the afternoon. (I forgot how much newborns sleep.) Zach had a blast. He got to go down a big slide, walk through a hay maze, shoot little pumpkins from a sling shot, play in a big thing of corn (like a sand pile but better) and his favorite, the bouncy house caterpillar thing. I'd say he's about the perfect age for this place. And best of all, it was free to go. The only things we paid for were the pumpkin launch thing, the pumpkins we took home and some snacks. (Thanks Granddad and Grammy!)

We came back to the house and carved the pumpkins. We used the little cutout things you can buy now with the carving kits. I think they turned out great. Although, I had nothing to do with the actual carving. I left that to the other 3 adults. All together it was a fun day!

I put some pics on my Flickr account, but will attach some here too. My mom took a lot of the pics. She never seems to get photo credit, so I'm giving it now. She also took the announcement picture we are using for Dylan's announcement and took Zach's announcement pic too. What would we do without Gaynell and her camera!?!? :)

Our Halloween costumes for a party we went to Sat night. Craig was Magnum PI and I was a Hawaiin girl. I'm wearing a grass skirt - you just can't see it in the pic. The best costume at the party was Portia and Ellen on their wedding day. It was a husband and wife. The husband was Ellen and the wife was Portia. Wish I'd had my camera for a pic. It was classic! Right down to the white sneakers like Ellen's. :)
