I love this season! All the leaves changing and the feel of the holidays approaching. From now until Christmas - time just seems to disappear.
This year, our pumpkins in our own pumpkin patch grew mostly vines, so we headed off to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins to carve. We enjoyed the corn maze, which took forever. I quit halfway through, but Chad kept on running. He just loved it!!!
Next, we picked some pumpkins to take home. Chad always describes the size of items by referring to them as compared to the size of each of us in the family. For example, we had to get a daddy pumpkin (the biggest), a mommy pumpkin (middle size), a
Chadder Box pumpkin (small) and a Tyler pumpkin ("little tiny").
It has become our tradition to have my parents come and help us to carve our pumpkins each year. This year, Chad chose a face design from the comics I had used to cover the table.
They're done! Chad and my dad hold their pumpkins to display. Chad was so proud. I needed to put in a picture of them all lit up on the porch. Maybe next year!
Of course, we all had to match, so Tyler was Mr. Potato Head (he looked like a brown sack with a face), Dave was Woody with Chad and I opted for Bo Peep. We had a great time. 
We went up to Boise for the weekend and got there in time to do trick-or-treating. We all went out together. Chad had a great time!!! He and his cousin, Ryan, went door to door. Chad would not say anything, and Ryan was so excited, he said it for himself and for Chad. When we got back, Chad had to dump his candy on the ground and look at it all. First he asked if he could eat it all. I told him he needed to eat some dinner and then he could have some candy. So . . . off he went. A few minutes later, he came and told me, "I ate all my dinner. Now can I eat all my candy?" I guess next time I'll have to be a little more clear. 
This picture is a little blurry, but this was the last stop. The bags are full and the noses are cold. We had a great Halloween!
