Halloween and the Pumpkin Patch

Happy Halloween!!!! (to those of you who observe it). On Thursday night we went to the pumpkin patch with the family. It was so much fun to go and hang out with everyone. James really wanted to jump in this really big pumpkin. He got in and stood there and would not jump at all. Sigh... he wanted to pet the rabbits that his aunts and uncle had, but we had already spent three dollars on the jumpy thing. It was ok he already went to the Yellow River Game Ranch and saw tons of animals. After we went to get ice cream and it was so good.


She held her first pumpkin.


James and his pumpkins!


It took us forever to get a good shot with the pumpkins. He was to busy not looking at the camera. He is still so cute.

Princess Elizabeth

He tried to sit on her before the picture was taken so I stopped trying to get them in a picture together.


He liked sticking his head in the thing after I did it before that he really didn't like it.


We took a picture like this at the Coke-a-Cola museum.


Everyone got into the picture and James was mad.


Pumpkins are almost bigger than her.

On Halloween we got ready to go to the church for the trunk or treat. I dressed as a cat, Adam was a Comic book Super Hero lover (he matched James in a way), James was the cutest Superman ever, and Elizabeth was an adorable ballerina. James loved the idea of going car to car and getting candy. He even walked to some cars a few times and got more. He got the concept really fast and carried his bag. I made a little bag for both kids from the same fabric. Later on we went treat or treating in our neighborhood and James thought this was even cooler. Later in the evening we went trick or treating in our neighborhood. I didn't think we were ever going to get back to our house. He had way too much fun going door to door. He tried to go into some of the houses, give back candy, trade candy, and even chose his own candy from the bowl. He was such a riot and people loved seeing him. He even said, "tri trit" which translated to trick or treat. I liked that part. The following are some pictures from that evening.


Mommy and baby.


Superman and his comic book lover Daddy.


Don't take my picture!!!


Kiss!! Smooch!


This is the best shot I could get of them together. Sigh...


She is so adorable.


Her little feet.


She is my little ballerina. (Yes, I made her tutu).


Adam's boss as the serpent and his wife "Eve" during the trunk or treat.


CANDY!!!! He actually was more excited about going car to car and getting stuff in his bag.


"Thank you" for the candy.

This was his first candy of the night.

Daniel Boon, Superman, and a comic book junky all in one place.


Everyone on the steps before the big outing around the neighborhood. Elizabeth stayed with Grandpop at home. He needed help passing out the candy.

This is our family shot. We are all so happy. James just really wanted things to start.

So fun to hear that James was really into Halloween this year! Elizabeth is beautiful! I love her eyes! She is a dainty, pretty princess. I was going to ask if you made her tutu, but you read my mind ahead of time and answered my question! Great work! Love the family photo, too! Miss you guys!!
