Halloween / Pumpkin Patch

I'm going to pretend it's not December right now. Here are some pictures from our Halloween activities this year.

Halloween was a busy day. We had Austin's party, a trip to the pumpkin patch and trick-or-treating. We couldn't fit our visit to the pumpkin patch in this year until the afternoon of Halloween. We had already carved our pumpkin, but I wanted to hit all the hot spots for Anna's first Halloween. What I did not take into consideration was that the pumpkin patch would be completely picked over. So... we were left with a pumpkin-less muddy patch with random pumpkins scattered about. We gathered the pumpkins together that weren't molded, broken, green or rotten and took a few pictures.




Aidan looks FAR too grown up in this picture. :-(




The pumpkin farm had this great children's play area that was completely filled with kernels of corn. The kids had a great time playing in it, and I found kernels in the washing machine for days after that visit.






That night, we went over to a friend's house and let the kids play together before they went trick-or-treating. The moms took the kids on the first half of the neighborhood while the dads passed out candy (and watched football). When we came back to switch places, the kids were having so much fun playing together that they never made it out trick-or-treating again.

The boys were Power Rangers, and our little princess was Snow White. Austin was determined to be a green Power Ranger and after scouring the city for a costume, I ended up having to buy it online. It was NOT one of my good deals, but I got Aidan's used on Ebay, so they evened out in the end.

Wow, Anna looks sooo cute in that Snow White outfit!! That's a fun idea with the corn kernels (and there were definitely nothing but clean, germ-free kids in it before you all)!
