Happy Halloween!

Wishing everyone a Spooktacular Halloween!  Hope you all score lots of good candy. We'll be out tonight trick-or-treating as a ninja and a tiger. 

Wow...we have been busy.  There have been a lot of fun fall/Halloween activities that has kept us busy, but we just haven't had time to post about everything we've been doing.  Below are some of the highlights from our activities. WARNING...the following post contains a lot of pumpkins! :)

A few weeks ago, we made a trip out to the pumpkin patch with Aunt Julie and Courtney in search of The Great Pumpkin. 

Before we could even search for The Great Pumpkin we found KC Wolf.  

He was a pretty funny guy and loved bouncing off of us with his big belly. 

Preparing for the hayrack ride out to the patch. 



Searching high and low for the perfect pumpkin. 






Reesing found a good one.


And so did I!



We actually found a lot of perfect pumpkins.  A wheel barrel full!



Then it was time for some fun. 


  







Then we began the pumpkin carving. 



These two pumpkins had a very special mission. Details below.

All of the different pumpkins we carved. 




On to the special mission.  We had a special plan for these two pumpkins. 

In the dark of the night we made our way to the special location.  Reesing with the K and me with the U.

We left the pumpkins behind on the doorstep as a surprise for Gammee Linda. 



Then this past weekend I participated in the TKQMA Great Pumpkin race, which was a lot of fun. 


After the races on Saturday all of the kids got dressed up in costume & went trick-or-treating at all of the trailers.

Reesing also got to pick out her own special pumpkin 

Dad helped Reesing & I carve our pumpkins from the race.  
And they turned out awesome!  Thanks Dad!




Yesterday was Reesing's costume parade at preschool and she was the cutest little tiger ever. 


 Chillin' like a tiger does.

Field trip to find The Great Pumpkin

My kindergarten class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch a couple weeks ago.  Mom joined me and my classmates in the search for the Great Pumpkin.

We loaded the bus and headed to the pumpkin patch. 



It was my first field trip on a bus, which was a lot of fun. 


We all loaded up for a hayrack ride out to the pumpkin patch. 

And the search began. 
 And I found the most perfect pumpkin!



After finding the perfect pumpkins my classmates and I got the chance to run around and play together.  







Then we loaded up our perfect pumpkins and took them back to school just in time for lunch.  Halloween is right around the corner and we couldn't be more excited.
