The Pumpkin Patch and Halloween

I count it a huge blessing for our family that Jeremy has every other Friday off from work. That's the only schedule we've known since starting work in the real world. So at this point, I might fall over dead if it were ever take away. But on one of his Friday's off we headed to a Pumpkin Patch. It's not fall without a trip to a Pumpkin Patch. Here are a few picture from our fun.

Sadly this is the best picture we could get of the three of them. Abe is at a hard stage to get him still and smiling at the same time. You have to accept one or the other, but not both.

 A hayride!

 

And just being silly.

 

Oh Halloween! It's not my favorite holiday. Especially as my boys start to deal with fears and there is much scariness out for Halloween. But they sure love dressing up in costume and touring the neighborhood for free candy. So that's what we did. We now have a 3 year tradition on Halloween. It consists of frito chili pie and trick or treating with some friends. This year we had 3 Ninja Turtles and a baby turtle in training. All of my boy's costumes still fit from last year, so we went with it.

 

 Buddies!

Now if only I could stay out of the candy!
