Before Halloween late post

I know this post is a little late, but we had such fun times I wanted to do it anyway. This fall we went to our favorite pumpkin patch. When we first started going it was just pumpkins you could go pick yourself, and each year they add something better; hay mazes, a petting zoo, and this year a bunch of corn to play in. Too bad the pumpkins were really crummy and we didn't actually buy any. We got them from WalMart.

This little kangaroo or wallaby, we don't know which, came up to Joey and started licking his sleeve. A bunch of hay to climb on

The kids had so much fun playing in the corn. A week before Halloween my mom, my sister and my little neice, Catie came to visit. It was so awesome! They were here for a week, and we packed in a lot of fun. We made another trip to the pumpkin patch.

Catie played with a shoe she found in the corn. The corn gets everywhere! This is what Joey's shoes looked like when he took them off at home. I was vacuuming up corn for days after.

We got some dry ice so we could make a "witches brew" with kool-aid. Then we had so much ice left we threw it in the bathtub, which was really cool.

We had a full week. My mom took each of the boys to the toy store to get legos, we went to the nickel arcade, shopping, went to Cars 2 in 3D (where we discovered Allie and Catie are too young for movies), we ate lots of pumkin waffles with buttermilk syrup and made a couple trips to Cafe Rio. Jared and I went on a date to the Pizza factory and to the new Harry Potter movie. While we were gone my mom found out that Allie HATES bottles, and gets really angry if you try to get her to take one.

We just had the best time. Curse you, Idaho and Montana for coming between us!
