Happy Happy Happy Halloween!

I LOVE halloween!  And how fun that this year we have this cute little girl to dress up!  Here she is at 6 months old in her Halloween outfit!  MUCH better than last year, where I was too sick to do much trick or treating!!


 Despite the fun Northwest weather, we found a break in the rain and we bundled everyone up for our annual pumpkin farm trip.  The moment we loaded onto the hay wagon for a ride out to the pumpkin patch then drizzle began.  It increased steadily while we picked our pumpkins and waited in line for the wagon to return for our trip back to the barn.  Right as we sat down the hail began.  (the wagon did have cover, but completely open sides, as you can see.  The hail came in sideways, about the size of peas and STUNG as it hit bare skin.  The boys hunched over with their hoods on and put their hands in their pockets but Brooklyn, who was in an outward facing carrier on her dad, had a completely exposed face (and hands).  And since the wagon was crowded, there was no room to turn her around.  Poor baby.  She got pelted for a good 5-10 minutes (along with the driver, who had no cover :(  But, she was a tough trooper.  She never made a peep.




Don't we look happy?  The hail had yet to begin...



We also live really close to a great haunted forest.  We go every year.  This year we took the big boys.  Dalton loved it and Bryant kept talking to the actors like they were good buds.


Isn't she the prettiest little elephant you've ever seen?


Happy Halloween to you from the pirate, karate kid, spiderman and elephant!
