October

We love October! It is one of our favorite months. I think the kids like Halloween better than Christmas. Every year we go to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins out, (and sit on the tractors and pretend to drive them) we love this!

Then the kids pound in the Potato Head Halloween decor into the pumpkins while we hollow out the rest of the pumpkins.

Ava and Owen carved their pumpkins totally on their own this year. Ava did not want us to help her at all. She did a great job and was very proud!

Owen had a very interesting technique this year. He had to wear his Spiderman beanie and look through his "noculars", and stab the dog out of the pumpkin. I was very nervous and glad he didn't cut himself. He also carved his all by himself and turned out pretty cute!

Here are all the finished pumpkins we did. The kids thought they were so awesome!

Ty and I went to the best Halloween party ever!! We had so much fun and dressed up like punk rock people at the last minute. My sister and her family had the swine flu so she lent us these costumes and they were great. Ty really got into his. He came home, found some copper in the garage and made some earrings and nose rings out of it along with a bead from Ava's jewelry making kit. We had a great time!

And finally, the funnest part of all. The kiddos! Ava was batgirl and Owen was a Power Ranger. He wouldn't wear his mask (as usual) but agreed to hold it up to his face for the picture. They had so much fun dressing up and loved trick- or- treating! ( I made them save the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for me, so I loved it too)!
