The Quintessential October Post

Well, it took until 7:30 PM on Halloween night for Teri's aunt Susie to call us out online asking for cute kiddo costume pictures.  So, here you go Susie... Cute Kids!!!!

Saying "Boo!" It was the only way we could get them both to look at the camera.
Christian is a "site worker" and Ellie is a "cat" (not a kitty, but a cat).  Christian finally decided on his costume about a week ago.  Ellie decided to be Elsa back in the summer time, but she got hesitant about a month ago and decided on the cat instead.  She was a kitty last year, and it was a totally different costume this year.

We went to a farm to find our  pumpkins.  After going to a pumpkin patch last week with friends, we went to another farm in Jefferson with Dad on his day off yesterday.... Christian needed the opportunity to use a cool wheel barrow.  We had loads of fun at this farm.  There was a petting zoo, a huge barley filled sandbox, a hay bale maze, and more water pump racing with rubber duckies.  And the pumpkins were HUGE!



We asked the farmer if we could look at the tractor.  Christian was in heaven.  The farmer was a hoot during the hay ride we took.  He narrated a the whole trip and talked about the farm in old farmer fashion the whole time.  
Ellie's favorite part of pumpkin carving is getting the guts out.  Ellie was very specific about how she wanted her pumpkin carved.   She had to have moon eyes, a triangle nose and kept making us adjust the mouth until it was perfect

He kept filling his pumpkin with Teri's guts.  Christian's pumpkin had lots of triangles.  Triangles are his favorite shape.  

Our favorite Halloween dinner.
