More from Halloween

Lots of fun costumes this year!

The hayride was fun but really cold... we only made it half way and then walked back to the house.

Happy Halloween!

Love,
Josiah and Elizabeth

One More...

I forgot that I didn't post a picture of our pumpkins. I picked something easy (the spider) and Richie picked the hardest design in the book. They looked pretty cool on our porch.

I can't wait to dig through our totes and find out what great Thanksgiving stuff we have to put out now.

Happy Halloween!

love,

Time for Halloween

Lots of pumpkins have started popping up around red door!

All that is missing is candy for the trick-or-treaters. We can't buy it yet because I would eat it all before they get here!

Spooks

We went to a Halloween party Saturday night with Richie's family. It was cold and raining on and off but I think everyone still had a good time. I tried to take quite a few photos but with the rain I didn't want my camera to get too wet. The lighting in the garage also left something to be desired.

Hooray for candy! Anthony won these for "pinning the nose on the pumpkin".

Bryce was the sweetest fireman ever. He should have been a farmer as much as he loves tractors.

Don't we look tough?!?! Thanks to Mom and Chris for the "real" motorcycle costumes.

Pumpkin Pickin'

Last Saturday we took Tara's boys to a pumpkin patch up in Hartville. We picked pumpkins, went on a hayride, wandered for a hour though a corn maze, played in a "corn box" which made my eyes water and went to a petting zoo. We had a great time. I think the boys got a little tired since Zach layed down in the middle of the corn maze and announced that he was tired. We tried to get him to get up by telling him the tractor was coming but his answer was "Just run me over". I think it may be a fun tradition to start with Richie's nieces and nephews, and later with our own kids.

Here are some pics from our trip:

Sweet Zach, posing for me while we waited to pay for the pumpkins.

Arrrrg! I found some pretty cute pirates at the entrance to the pirate ship corn maze

There were supposed to be maps like these in the corn maze but this was the only one we could find. We ended up following Richie as he cut through all the rows.

I made Gram take our picture after the afternoon of carving. Cyan wanted to get in on the fun. Actually I think it is because she wanted us off her bench

This is Richie's Buckeye pumpkin. When he explained to me how he was going to carve it I thought he was nuts. He really just scraped the picture into the pumpkin. The only part he cut out is the leg at the bottom.
