We had such a fun time eating hot dogs, looking at all the animals, bobbing for apples, and looking for the perfect pumpkin. Turns out that the Saturday before Halloween is not the best time to find pumpkins, they were all rotten and picked over. We ended up just getting some pumpkins from Costco instead. That night we had a trick-or-trunk at the church so we took the kids. Lily was blue from blue's clues and Landon was a skunk, they both looked so cute. Lily thought it was so awesome that she got to carry her purse, which is what she called her Halloween bucket, and people put candy in it. I think she was a little bit freaked out by some of the costumes, but she didn't mind too much since she was getting all kinds of treats. On Monday night we colored our pumpkins instead of carving them because we figure that would be a little more appropriate for Lily, the less knives around the better. It was a lot of fun, we even got little googly eyes to put on them and that was Lily's favorite part and Dave's I think. Lily just kept pulling the eyes off of Dave's pumpkin and putting them on hers. On Halloween we decided to take Lily to a couple of houses to go trick-or-treating. She thought it was so much fun, again mostly because of the candy, until a guy would answer the door and then she would run and hide. It was so much fun, and I am just excited to have a child so that I have an excuse to go tick-or-treating again.

Halloween
I love this time of year! The fall is by far my favorite season, it is beautiful, and I love the weather. I love all of the holidays coming up, and I especially love Halloween. It is so much fun! The Saturday before Halloween we all went to go watch Alex play football and then we all went to the cider mill to go get pumpkins afterwards.
