Happy Belated Halloween

Here's a picture of our annual trek to the Pumpkin farm... notice much difference from last year?




Hayden's last football game



The kids carving pumpkins. Howie said that it was easier with a jig saw. Drill baby, Drill.



Mason dressed up as Darth Vader for Halloween. After Trick-or-Treating, we walked down to a friends house for a party. While we were walking, Mason insisted on swinging his light saber in figure "8"'s in the air. After several warnings for him to stop before he hit me with it, he hit me with it. So I took it away, with a promise to give it back when we got to the party. To which he replied " Mom,( insert way too mature tone here ) I'm not saying that you have BAD parenting skills , but I don't think you should have done that". Hmmmm.

Elise decided that she wanted to be Cinderella back in July, so she happily put her Cinderella dress on on Thursday, the day of her school parade. By Friday morning, she decided that the Cinderella dress was itchy, and she wanted to be a Witch. I never would have consented, but a friend of ours had a Witch costume, and, well, it was easier than fighting with her. But by Friday night she had figured out the Witch costume was itchy, and she found an old Elephant costume of Hayden's which she liked. This suprised me, as it wasn't pink, didn't have any beads, lace, glitter, or other "girly" stuff. But who was I to argue? Dressing her every day is a battle, so I let this one go too.
