Pickin' Pumpkins

Halloween is here...well almost here. Crazy, oh so crazy. Want to hear an even crazier thought...Christmas Eve is exactly 2 months from tonight. Now that is a serious yikes...sends me into nervousness just thinking about it. So we won't think about it...not at all. We will think about the Patch...the pumpkin patch that is.


tall ones, short ones, some as big as your head..name that movie folks...just released from the Disney vault. Obviously my boys have watched it one to many times.


For the love of cuteness..look at these three.


Lincoln had a good time.


Carson had a good time.


Judging by that smile, the little chubster had a great time.


He liked the straw.


He liked it alot.





The scarecrows and stuffed witches made Lincoln all sorts of nervous. I tell ya, for as adventuresome as this kid is, he sure is a chicken little when it comes to certain things. We have a house by us that goes all out for Halloween, I am talking like 20 or so fake, scary, bloody people hanging around. At first we called it the scary house, but everytime we said that it made Lincoln cry. Now we call it the fun house, and for some reason this makes him feel better. He doesn't cry anymore he just says "look the fun house". He's an odd kid.



Speaking of odd kids...here is another one. Carson and his two best friends. These little white pumpkins. I don't understand his fascination, but he loves these little guys. They have been stowed away on top of his bunkbed for the past few days (that is where all of his prized possessions hang out). I just stole them today and added them to my home decor, he hasn't noticed yet. I'll let you know if he does.




Lets head on home, you big orange fellas.


Well now, don't you all look lovely.




They are home sweet home, just hanging out on our porch. Waiting to be carved on Friday. Cause if you didn't know Halloween is almost here.


A few more odds and ends for ya


Hocus Pocus was on ABC family the other night, so I DVR'd it for Cars. I wondered if it would scare him but my sisters kids watched it and she said they did fine. So we gave it a try. Carson LOVED it, Lincoln not so sure. This is how I snuck up on them Saturday night. All cozied up in my bed watching it. I guess they really do love each other.


We got boo'ed. I love that. It's fun and festive, and I love to be fun and festive.


So we mixed up some chocolate chip cookies and reciprocated the boo's to a few other families. Such fun.


The boys snuck a few cookies for themselves first though. Which is totally acceptable.


And then they ran out there and had some fun for themselves in those 70 degree temps today. Say goodbye to that scene though, I think I may have just worn my favorite pair of shorts for the last time this season. A cold front is coming in tomorrow. I think we are done with 70 degrees for this year. Here comes 52 tomorrow, and 48 the next day. Bundle up my friends...cause here she comes.

Be back later this week...cause the 24th marks more than just 2 months to Christmas Eve. The cutest baby in all the world is 9 months today. So we'll be back to talk about that.

Nighty-night!
