Happy Halloween!

We made it to the pumpkin patch a few weeks back and the kids really enjoyed it, although it was the hayride and rides that they enjoyed more than actually being in the pumpkin patch.  Regardless it was a success and a lot of fun.

This past weekend we carved pumpkins and I let the kids pick which design they wanted for theirs.  Ben insisted on Chiefs (I think because we had just finished watching the game) and Ashley originally wanted Sponge Bob, but it was too difficult even for me.  So she settled for Shrek pretty easily.

And of course today is Halloween so the kids got all dressed up and we went out around the neighborhood.  At first Ben was more worried about running into dogs for some reason, but after the first house he was running and as excited as could be to go get candy from house to house.  Ash was a little more hesitant than that, but in the end got the hang of it and had a good time. Once they got home they gorged on candy of course, but no epic meltdown like a few years back when Ben was a cow.
