We had one weekend between Disneyland and Halloween so we figured we'd go to the pumpkin patch then. The only problem with that is it poured the whole weekend. We were resigned to the fact that we would have to go to the grocery store to get our pumpkins this year. Well Wednesday rolled around, it was a nice day and we had time so I asked Kayda if she wanted to go to the store to get her pumpkin. She told me "No let's go to the pumpkin patch, not the one far away, the one closer." So I called Daddy and he was fortunately able to take his lunch to go with us to the pumpkin patch just down the road from his office.
Ready? LIFT! Kayda had to have a "giant" pumpkin (she got the largest out of all of us) and Dillon was the exact opposite. If he couldn't pick the pumpkin up, he didn't want it.
We've come up with all kinds of excuses to wear our costumes this year. Thursday both kids got to wear their costumes to their schools. Friday we put them on again to go visit Daddy at work and then of course Halloween on Sunday. Dillon chose Buzz Lightyear and of course we had to have the wings, Kayda chose a kitty cat.
Here's our pumpkin carving. Kayda was hands on, Dillon did NOT like the gooey insides at all. I drew different types of eyes, noses and mouths for the kids and they each chose the pieces they wanted on their pumpkins, then Mommy drew it on and Daddy carved it out (both of them want Daddy to do everything right now).
Going to visit Papa G.
After Papa G we headed off for dinner with Grandma and Papa H. Turns out Ella was a kitty cat too, Kayda thought it was fantastic to have someone to "meow" with.
Here are all the costumes!
Found another cousin! He's loving Dillon's Buzz wings!
The eldest cousin, poor guys getting too old to costume up. Unfortunately for Nathan he still has to be in the blog!
About to take off for trick or treating!
Kayda and Dillon's pumpkins.
Mommy and Daddy's pumpkins. Kayda and Dillon chose our pumpkins for us this year, mine wouldn't stand up so I worked with what I had!
On another note entirely. IT has definitely been feeling like autumn and we had three days in a row we made a fire for the second half of the day. We decided one day to make it a fire and a movie afternoon. The kids loved laying out in front of the fire and watching a movie.
Daddy found Dillon and Kayda playing like this in the hall on Friday. They played together for a couple hours having a grand old time!
