Halloween 2011

This Halloween we took the kiddos to a small pumpkin patch that the local pottery/nursery store put together. I was really impressed with the result. The had a small maze of straw bales that the kids enjoyed. It was hard keeping them in the maze instead of climbing over the bales. They loved all the funny shaped "pumpkins". I must admit, I have never seen so many oddly shaped gourds either.

Hayden was excited to see this sign since

he was wearing his Great Pumpkin shirt!

Check out the green pumpkin!

What a big girl she is.

This is probably the biggest pumpkin he has seen!

They're so excited!!

We did our yearly tradition of going to Mineola where all the down-town businesses hand out candy. I feel good about trick-or-treating there and the kids get to see their cousins and Uncle Cheese and Aunt Suzi. They loaded up a ton of candy and had a good time. I don't understand some of the costumes that I saw though. It's like people are trying to either be as gory as they possibly can or reveal way too much. Whatever happened to super heroes and princesses? I guess I'm getting too old.

After trick-or-treating we went to my Mother-in-law's. We always have to get a picture of Hayden with the Halloween bucket. I'd say he's grown quite a bit. He's still just as excited about the candy at 4 years as he was at 5 months.
