Tis the Season

I figured I had better get my Halloween post up now since everyone is now on the fast track to Christmas.  I have already sat through a handful of Christmas commercials, enjoyed coffee in a Starbucks holiday cup and started reminding Kaci that Santa and his elves see everything that she does, may it be naughty or nice.

THE PATCH

Of course we hit up the pumpkin patch.  I was on a mission to find the perfect white pumpkin, Kevin went the more traditional orange route and Kaci...well Kaci didn't want a big pumpkin.  Just like last year, she was after her "baby" gourds.  She picked through the bins until she found a handful to her liking.  She then proceeded to mother her treasures for the next few hours.  She made the mistake of leaving them unattended in the living room and Dean snapped off the necks of each and everyone of them.  She was livid...and wanted nothing more to do with her babies. 

Pumpkin Launch!

Oh and those seeds that we were so careful to separate from the rest of the junk?  Yeah, I burnt those to a crisp.  Yes, I was irritated just a bit.

THE COSTUMES:

Well we are certainly getting our money's worth out of Kaci's costume this year.  She wants to wear it every day for the rest of her life - her words.   

Introducing Queen Elsa

Dean went as Clark Kent, but refused to wear the glasses...so he wasn't really recognizable.  Plus he wont sit still for any pictures...so this is pretty much all I got of his first Halloween.

The rain broke up just in time for a little trick or treating with cousins.

Gotta run.  Time to make some Christmas lists...geez!
