Pumpkins!

I love Halloween!  When Curt and I lived in our first home it was on a road less traveled and we had a long driveway to boot.  That first Halloween I sat on our steps forever - one Trick-or-Treater and me with huge quantities of candy.  Our trick-or-treater probably thought I was insane for filling his bag up, I still loved it.  Then when we moved to the big city of Butler, hundreds of kids traveled up and down our streets.  Smoke screens, music, flashing lights, and the candy was just awesome.

So here, pumpkin patches are very popular and off we went last Sunday to pick.  Mia talked to every pumpkin.  Not only were they pumpkins but they were beautiful princess pumpkins.  She picked 10.  Curt thought this was so great until I told him how much pumpkins cost - quickly she was down to 2.  Sab went on several scouting missions to find his sister the perfect pumpkin.  Mia was surprised by this rare kindness, but pleased to have more pumpkins to talk to.  These are my favorite shots from the day:

Everybody say pumpkin.  Or humor me.

We took this long handled pumpkin home.  She wasn't into the "goo" of cleaning it so she colored it instead.


I get this look a lot - and it usually follows the statement seriously mom?


On the hayride with her dad.  Love this little face.


The next day beginning the cleaning process.  Look at her - he's trying so hard to be good. 

 No goo Momma.

All about goo!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
