Pumpkin Patches and Halloween 2011

We started the fall/Halloween festivities last weekend by going to two pumpkin patches!!! The first one was on Sunday and the pumpkin patch is the same one we went to last year! Alli had so much fun running all around!!!  Ben had a good time hanging with Grampy!!! We attempted to get a Grandkids picture again this year and well that is not so easy!  Alli got to pick out a pumpkin for her and one for Ben! Ben was very happy with the one she picked for him! It was so much fun!! 

The best one of our little pumpkins!!

Attempt #5

Attempt #10

The pumpkin Alli picked for Ben!

Alli loved the slide!

Our little cowgirl and cowboy!

Ben was not into the picture taking!

Callie said "I'll hold Alli on my lap!"

Alli was over that idea!

Then the next day we went to another one with Amy, Emma, Jack and Ellie!!  This one was awesome!!!  It had bounce houses, a hay maze, hay rides and just about any character that you could imagine yard sign!  It was a blast!!  Since we went two days in a row Alli woke up on Tuesday and asked "we go to the pumpkin patch today?"

She kept moving...You get the point!! 

Alli loves Caillou!! 

Callie was the one that intruduced her to the show!


How cool is this?! (I know this was officially his second pumpkin patch)

Of course she had to say hi to Dora and Boots!

She couldn't pick up this pumpkin so she just rolled it!

Such a happy kiddo!!

They had a bounce house for the little kids so Jack and Alli had it to themselves for awhile!!

Sweet Ellie with all her gorgeous hair!!

These two love each other!!

Emma helped Alli in the hay maze!

Then they had to get up close to the pumpkin house!!

Then it was time to see the little mermaid!!


Ben loved the pumpkin patch!!

Until next year...

Friday we had Gym class and the kids got to wear costumes!!  I had to dress Ben up with Alli since they go together!! We met Amy and the kids for lunch to get scary face pancakes!!  That night we decorated/painted Alli's pumpkin!!  She had a blast and the pumpkin looks so pretty!!!

Dora and Boots!!

Dora and a Mermaid! (Callie didn't want to wear a red wig so she did not want to be Ariel!!) 

Alli and Jack at lunch!

She loves him!!

Sweet Ellie!!

Getting ready to paint Alli's pumpkin!

She loves painting!

Daddy helped her draw a scary face!

Ben enjoyed watching!

The finished product!

Monday morning me and the kids ran to the store to get some candy and then for the rest of the day Alli was saying "I go trick or treating?"  Grammy and Grampy came over to go with us this year! Alli got to practice Trick or Treating with Grampy!! We just went down our street and back up!! Alli had a blast!  Ben loved his pumpkin basket so he just played with that instead of going up to the doors!  When we got home Ben was so ready for his costume to come off!! He was not a big fan of the hat!  Alli was just excited to eat her candy!!  She sat so still next to Grampy as she ate one M&M at a time!!!  Then a bag of cheetos and then a crunch bar!! Scott enjoyed scaring our kids and the ones in the neighborhood!!  Ben was totally freaked out by his mask! Alli just laughed it off since she knew it was him!!  I was for sure the kids wouldn't sleep last night but they did!!  We had so much fun!!!  I love this time of year!!!! 

Not too sure about giving the monster a kiss!!

Isn't Scott so handsome?!!

Dora and Daddy!

I love this picture!! This is what its like to try and get a picture!!

We had to hold Ben's hands so he wouldn't grab his hat off!!

Mommy didn't do a good job of keeping his hat on!!

Boots!!  He loved his pumpkin basket!

Alli practicing what to say!!

I love this picture!!

Grammy with Boots!!

Alli would say "Trick or Treat" or "Happy Halloween" then she would say "Thank you, Bye!!" 

The group ready to head home!

Scott scaring the trick or treaters! He'd sit still and not move until someone put their hand in the bowl. Scary!

Ben was so happy to have his costume off!!

Alli eating her M&M's!

Yeah, she had a good time!!!
