It was a Happy Halloween :o)

Well, time has gotten away from me...
The kids had a good time trick-or-treating. We got way too much candy, doesn't everyone. Grant was a Stormtrooper and Kaylyn was a butterfly. Keenan was Sully from Monster's INC. Micah was Mike from Monster's INC but I didn't get a picture of him because he was asleep by the time they got to my parents house.
We went to the pumpkin patch the Saturday before Halloween for a birthday party but I forgot to take my camera. But when we got there Chad has their camera so I took some pictures with their camera. So as you can imagine, Bethany still has them on the camera so I don't have them yet. But I can still tell you about it. It was rather chilly but a nice day. The kids had a good time playing in the silo, feeding the calves, and playing on the hay bales. We had lunch there and birthday cake and Zain opened his presents. Then we went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch so all the kids could pick a pumpkin. The kids were looking at every pumpkin, picking one up then putting it down for another one. We thought we finally had the kids settled on one and everyone was loading back up on the wagon when I turn around and Grant had put his pumpkin down and is headed back across the patch...he wanted a 'green' one just like Kaden. Do you know how hard it is to find a green pumpkin in a patch full of orange ones? So, I finally find one...probably the smallest one but it is green and Grant was happy.
Here is a picture of our pumpkin family.
The pumpkins came from 3 different trips to the pumpkin patch (a field trip for Grant, a day trip for Kaylyn and the birthday party) and CU Homecoming pumpkin painting booth. Grant wanted to paint a pumpkin and ended up painting 2...he wanted to paint a dinosaur but ended up asking me to 'help'. We didn't carve the pumpkins this year. I've actually never have. But I found these pumpkin tattoos and I thought they turned out pretty cute.
Here is all the pumpkins Grant accumulated this fall.
Please don't be a critic of the dino art work...we did the best we could :o).
