Halloween! and October Pumpkin Fun!

We had a Halloween without our daddy this year.  He was at an Air National Guard meeting in Arizona.  We missed him, but we had plenty of fun!  Emily and 2 of her friends stayed home to pass out candy, while I took the kids out.  With Halloween being on Sunday, our Ward put together a trick-or-treating on Saturday night. 

Grace as Dorthy from the Wizard of OZ!

Bat boy Caleb

Spencer the Ninja

Ryan as Legolas from Lord of the Rings (note the pointy elf ears!)

The whole crew ready for some TREATS!

Oh, who is this person?  I had to dress up as daddy!!!

 

Emily Squared after school! Who knew a Zombie Ballerina and a Hippie could be such good friends!

 Both Caleb and Grace had a chance to go to Bizi pumpkin farm for their classes.  For Caleb's Kindergarten class I was only able to stay for the visiting the farm yard part (I had a sub job for the afternoon!) It was a beautiful day!  Better than any other time we have been there!

we thought this turkey was pretty cool!

Caleb and the cows!

Caleb's class at the hay pyrmid (he's 2nd row 3rd in on the right between his 2 girls friends)

Caleb ready for the hay ride and pumpkin picking!

I was sad to not be there for the pumpkin pictures, but he choose a great one and had a wonderful time!

For Grace, we had a big group of pre-schoolers that went together to the farm.  She had fun running around and getting muddy!  (not as nice a day as when I went with Caleb!) 

Grace and her friend the Goat!

Mom and Grace on the Hayride ready to choose a pumpkin!

Grace and her pumkin (at her feet)

Note the socks on her hands!  We couldn't find her mittens, but I had an extra pair of socks in the car! 

 Earlier in October we had gone over by Hood River in Oregon with some friends to check out the 'Fruit Loop'!  We tried lots of apples, and purchased even more!  YUM!!!  We also went to Rasmussen farm picked some pumpkins, went through a corn maze, and had lots of fun!

Caleb and Grace

Emily and Rachel, love those CRAZY girls!

The whole group!

We have no pictures of the pumpkins we picked, which is sad for 2 reasons!  They were GREAT pumpkins!  and someone stole all of them off our front porch the week Caleb went to the pumpkin farm for school!  I was so MAD!  But we did have some nice pumpkins from Bizi farms, and one from Wal-Mart! 

Our cute second chance pumpkins!

Next year, no pumpkins on our front porch till Halloween night!
