Halloween






This year again we took the boys to the truck or treat at the church for about an hour and then we went around just a few of the streets in our neighborhood.  Just about very house in our neighborhood had their lights on.  They even brought in port a pottys for the people who come from outside of our neighborhood.  It was pretty crazy.  We saw people driving from house to house, using golf carts and ATVs with trailers going from house to house.  Justin was superman and Jacob was a dragon.  Red even dressed up this year for the truck or treat at the church as a pirate.

Field Trip with Jacob's class




We took Jacob on Justin's field trip thinking that Jacob's class was not going to the pumpkin patch, but then after we took him, I got the note saying that Jacob's class would be going to the SAME pumpkin patch.  Needless to say, going the second time was not as fun, but nice because it was so late in Oct.  and Jacob's class was smaller so not that many people were there.

Field Trip with Justin class to the pumpkin patch

So here I am catching up on a few late posts.  We just get so busy that I forget to blog and then I get way behind like I am now.  Here goes it.

So way back in October Red, Jacob and I went to the pumpkin patch with Justin kindergarten class.  One thing we have learned out here is that pumpkin patches are not pumpkin patches.  This was a farmers market type place were they had plowed the corn down and put out some pumpkins for you to "pick" .  Red and I just laughed because you took a hayride out to "pick" your pumpkin.  They boys had a great time any ways.  Justin got to "pick" his pumpkin learn all about corn and what you use it for, all about ice cream and how its made, he got to stuff a scarecrow, learn how you make apple cider and to taste it, plus he got to learn all about different pumpkins.  It was overall a fun morning for us.
