Happy Halloween

For months, Colby was telling me (and anyone he saw) that he was going to be an astronaut for Halloween. We have an outfit from the Air & Space Museum. Then, on Halloween day, he changed his mind. He decided to be Buzz Lightyear so his brother could be Woody and match him. How sweet.

First, we had a festive Halloween dinner of Mummy dogs, Witches' fingers, eyeballs, and Monster mouths.

Fall Fun

Hard at work carving pumpkins

We painted pumpkins too

Both boys enjoyed scooping, pouring and playing with the pumpkin seeds too.

Pumpkin Patch

We took our annual trip to Homestead Gardens for a little Fall Fun. They always have fun fall games, hay stacks, hay maze, animals, and of course pumpkins.

Apple Orchard

We took a weekend drive out west a little bit to a little apple orchard. I was really excited to do this, and we had a great time. We picked a bunch of apples, and I made an apple pie, apple muffins, and apple tarts.
