Halloween Stuff

So we've done a lot of halloween stuff since I've posted last. A pumpkin patch with pony rides, which the kids loved. Austin couldn't stop reaching down and petting his pony and didn't want to get off! I was so fun to watch him on a pony, he has amazing balance for his age. Makes me think he might be a horse rider, okay maybe thats more for me LOL. Madison did good too and rode the pony all by herself, which I think is a first. She also loved it :) We got some pumpkins and brought them home and carved them. Madison chose daddy to help her with hers which I must say turned out amazing. Good Job Garrett! His pumpkin even photographed better than mine. I tried something new by using the flat side of the pumpkin and it didn't really pop like I thought it would, oh well right. It took Austin a few minutes before he reached in to get some goop out of the pumpkin but he did it. Madison even reached in the pumpkin this year. We got some snow on Wednesday and Madison insisted we make a snowman. He was a little guy and Madison was sure proud of him. So cute! Thursday was her school party. Garrett and I got to go help and watch her parade. She was so happy that her daddy was able to come and during the singing she sang directly to him the whole time. I got video of it, but should have had Garrett hold the camera...She didn't take her eyes of him. It was neat to see their connection. She did pretty good, but wasn't really into it. Not sure if she was tired or if there was just too many people there. Yesterday we took the kids to the Mall for trick-or-treating since we had a high chance of rain over here. It was fun. The kids enjoyed it, but towards the end it was really crowded and the kids were tired. We almost didn't make trick-or-treating around the neighborhood because it was so cold and rainy, but we got a break and I took the kids down our street with Kesler and his daddy. At first Austin didn't know what to do. He wanted to walk, but with his bag; or I had to hold his hand, but not his bag. Really confusing for me, but once we got over that he had fun. It's so cute to hear him say "trick-or-treat" and "happy halloween". He's such a big boy!! I ended up having to carry him halfway through and was so exhausted by the end of the night! But worth it of course. The kids had so much fun and got so much candy. So thats it for October! Wow that went by fast. We won't do trick-or-treating over here today because its Sunday, but honestly I'm so tired, I couldn't do that again!! Now its time to get Garrett off hunting and work on Austin's 2nd Brithday Party!! Happy Halloween Everyone!
