Halloween was perfect this year. Each of the boys had a great time, loved going door to door and the weather was awesome! Here are Conner and Drew the morning we went to the Pumpkin Patch - as you can see - Drew has a new "cheese" face. Now, each picture that he smiles for has this face in it. Picture him saying "ceeesssseee mama!"
This year we took the boys to our local pumpkin patch "The Proverbial Pumpkin Patch". It is ran by a husband and wife team, along with their many children. I think they have seven kids. They have their own Pumpkin patch and tie a proverb to each pumpkin! It is the cutest pumpkin patch and it is awesome to see their children help. Plus, if you go when it first opens, you are guaranteed first pick at the pumpkin muffins and pumpkin pies (I promise they have the best in the state of Indiana.) Drew and Conner became friends with the youngest boy, so we visited the pumpkin patch twice this year - I think the boys ended up with 10 pumpkins!
Drew was not interested in carving pumpkins this year - he stayed around just long enough to throw around the insides of the pumpkins and then he wandered off to play!
Conner, on the other hand, could not wait. He picked out each face for the pumpkins, helped Jason carve them and even helped to clean up! He was all about Halloween this year!
Conner decided to be a fireman this year (after a 3 week process of narrowing down between Spiderman and a fireman) and Drew was a fisherman (the plan was to keep him occupied with the fishing pole!).
Oh, and here are our "works" of art. Hats off to Jason for his fabulous pumpkin carving skills!
