Halloween 2010

I wish I could tell you that I took some great pictures from when we went to the pumpkin patch with Logan's preschool on Friday. Instead you will have to settle for the pictures that were taken after. I decided to take our old Kodak camera instead of Tim's nice big (& heavy) Nikon camera. I had a new memory card and battery for the camera and was all set to take pictures. But for some reason the memory card did not want to work with the camera. Also, it rained most of the day. This was the first day since April or so since the pumpkin patch had had any significant rainfall. So we all walked around in the mud doing the different activities around the pumpkin patch.

All of our shoes with mud on them.

Saturday morning I decided we should carve our pumpkins. I thought that maybe the kids would help or at least be curious about the pumpkins. So I got the top cut of one and showed the kids what the inside of the pumpkin looked like. Next, I cut the top of the other pumpkin and asked if they wanted to help me scoop out the insides. Ashley decided to take the spoon and hit the screen door. Logan just looked at me like I was crazy, said no and walked away. So I scoop out the insides by myself and keep asking if they want to come and stick their hands in the pumpkin. A few times Logan came over and would stick his hand over the top of the pumpkin or have a toy hover over the pumpkin. Then, it was time to put face on the pumpkin and Logan decided to help with this part. He told me what shapes to do for the eyes, ears and mouth. As I cut the pieces, Logan would take them out for me. Finally we had Jack-O-Lanterns.

With this being possibly the last year I have a say in both of my kids costumes, I decided to have them be a pair. My mom found Logan a Woody costume so I decided to try to find a Jessie costume for Ashley. I started looking at the beginning of October and found one in the right size for Ashley. Now I will be taking Woody and Jessie trick-or-treating this year.

Logan as Woody.

Ashley as Jessie.

Both of them together.
