Halloween/Tailgate Party 2009

Nana had a surprise for C....she was dressed up too!
This kid had been wanting to "go to Halloween" all week...he ask to take a nap at 12 so that we could hurry up and go...

When we got him into his "costuNe" he kept asking us to sing the Spiderman song to him.

The twins came over for the Halloween/Tailgate Party...

In the rain...of course they didn't care!

Don-Nita and Cody stopped by...

As did Jakey-Poo and Coco...

Papa and Nana the Clown...

The little set up...pre-4-wheeler accident in the yard...uh what...yeah...drunk neighbors are not so fun! ! ! Thank goodness only one kid went to the hospital in an ambulance...the kid thrown off the 4-wheeler who was driving drunk dude around...in the dark...in the rain...on Halloween night with trick or treaters all over the place....seriously...I am still SO mad...at stupid neighbors.

Spiderman and his mom...

and yes he slept in his "costune" last night and well he is napping in it now. I hope you had fun...except you drunk dude and your sleezy friends. I hope you learned a good lesson.

Picked, Bought, Carved, Check

I HATE knives...I did this for my son...cause Jake had a LONG day Friday...be proud of me...VERy proud. And i know you can't smell it but I rubbed cinnamon in the lid before we lit it....Mmmmm.

Pumpkin Patches

Last night we headed over to Due West United Methodist Church...our usual spot for picking pumpkins. C was excited to go to the "pumpkin patches". As late as we were in the season to go they still had tons of pumpkins...grey, white, orange, bumpy, smooth, even a pile of rotten ones.
" Hey look at these"

What a stud...if I do say so myself...

He tried to throw this one at me...

I might look older with my new haircut...but I'm just a long legged tot...

a silly one at that...

This is what his highschool soccer picture will look like...

Tonight we shall carve...

If you live within 45 minutes...it is worth the drive...pumpkin patch, 2 corn maizes, food (feel free to bring your own-we did cause even the toddlers aren't free to get in), jumpy things, hay ride, bonfires...go get in the fall sprirt. (Oh and they do sell fresh milk, cheese and butter in the house by the pumpkin patch...mmmm)

Quick...

Somebody please get me to the closest Dunkin Donuts...
