Pumpkin Patch

Our Little Pumpkin!

We decided to take advantage of the nice weather and head out to Howells Pumpkin Patch. We went there last year and Kale had a great time and he did this time as well!

This was my attempt of the sibling photo shot... It isnt getting any easier to get a good one!



This is where he would have stayed the entire time if we let him!



Ava had to sit there a long time and watch Kale pedal around and around! She enjoyed watching as much as Kale did riding!

Pedal Go Carts!


The big hay pile!


Our Pirate Jack-o-Lantern! ARRRRGH!



Fun had by all!

Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat!

What a busy weekend! The weekend started on Friday. We took the kids to Living History Farms trick or treat! We went with our neighbors. Maylee and Kale had a great time and the little babies thought it was a crock to be all bundled up and along for the ride!
Kale was a wimp about saying trick or treat and probably would have missed out on a lot of candy if I didn't drag him by the hand to say (or whisper) trick or treat! They got to ride on a hay rack pulled by what Jeremy thought were long eared horses but was abruptly corrected by a stranger that "those aren't horses, they are mules!" Duh Jeremy! We also roasted Marshmallows and the kids had a great time!

They were yelling.. "UDDER"

Poor Ava!




After going to bed way too late, Kale got woke up early to go tailgate at the Iowa State game. And the best part was the Cyclones won!! Kale got home just in time to quickly dress in his swat team costume and head out the door. The shyness was not present this time as Kale sprinted from door to door getting way more than his share of Candy.
If you know Kale, you know the more tired he is the crazier he is and yes he was tired! He ran up to a boy dressed in a scream mask and hit him in the face! No idea where that came from! He had a great time with the neighbors. And again poor Ava was all bundled up thinking things were ridiculous! Poor girl! Next year will be more fun for her!
Here is Kale and his favorite neighbor girls Maddie and Maylee! Kale's face shows how wound up he was!


This cute little pumpkin was not a pumpkin for long... so much for the headband!


Happy Halloween!
