Happy Halloween!



Ellie takes pumpkin carving into her own hands:


Everyone digs in - literally

(Ellie felt particularly proud to be standing on the table)




Pirate Lincoln and "Pirate Princess" Ellie...at least that's what the package said. I guess it's not nice to call toddlers "wenches"


We love CANDY!!

Pumpkin Patch II

We must really love pumpkins around here, because last week for playgroup we went to yet another pumpkin patch in the area. I have to say that this one was much more fun - a lengthy hayride, pumpkins, donuts and apple cider, and activities for the kids. We now have 6 pumpkins, and it's not even mid-October!!

The whole playgroup gang


Each kid was allowed 1 pumpkin from the patch - as soon as we got off the hayride Lincoln went right to work filling his whole bag with pumpkins, then trying to heft it around.

Hay maze!

Pumpkin Photo Shoot...Take 1

We went to pick out a pumpkin this weekend, and I had imagined a lovely photo-op of Linc and Ellie in the autumn splendor. Well, I didn't get any "perfect" pictures, but the more I look at them, I think it captures the essence of these kids rather nicely.
