It's the Great Pumpkin!





Halloween was SO MUCH FUN this year! Caleb and Julian proved old enough to get excited about the holiday, and as we indulged their interest we wound up having a great time too. We went out to Faulkner Farms with the whole gang. It was a long drive (about 1hr.10min) and as soon as we got there I was inwardly chastising us for being so ambitious with our outing choices. But as soon as Julian saw all the pumpkins his eyes lit up and he said 'Pumpkin Patch!' Just seeing how happy he was made everything worth it. They had a great time at the petting zoo and hay maze- we'll do the train ride and hay rides next year. It was the first time we took our quad stroller out in public and it felt like we couldn't go more than 2 ft. without getting stopped by somebody. Ian says that people are watching us more closely so we can use it as an excuse to behave ourselves ;) The boys went trick or treating at their school and our ward's trunk or treat and had a blast. Jack and Christian just went with the flow, I made sure that we got studio pictures of their costumes- I think little kids in Hallowe'en costumes are the BEST EVER! Hooray for Hallowe'en!

Sometimes memories happen and sometimes they have to be created. So wonderful to hear that you took the time and energy to create such a fun one in the pumpkin patch! Looks like everyone had a blast!

Melissa -
Don't ever not have time to give your boys such positive experiences. I remember taking your mom & Uncle Hu trick / treating - dressed in clown costumes. It was so much fun. I still have the picture - they were adorable just as your boys are. How great for the boys having such a unique experience, Keep it up!!
