Pumpkins and Halloween

We had lots of pumpkin fun this halloween season. The church at Nate's school had a pumpkin patch so he got to visit almost daily to jump in the bounce house. We also had the chance to enjoy a trip to a pumpkin patch in Georgia. Pumpkin patches make for beautiful fall pictures so check them out....

This shot was taken at the pumpkin patch at Nate's school. I got to walk over with his class and watch them pick out small pumpkins. It was lots of fun.

Aunt Kim had the fun idea to visit this pumpkin patch in GA and found it online for us. Thanks Aunt Kim!

I just love this one of the two angels. It's always great to catch those angelic moments. They each got to pick out a pumpkin. (We never got around to carving them until the week after Halloween seeing as how the carver in our family was out of town on a whirlwind of interviews that week. But they didn't seem to mind.)

Hanging with Uncle Britton even though he has on a bulldogs t-shirt.

Quinn wasn't in the mood for pictures but I had to include one of her anyway. She's too cute even when she's not looking at the camera. And we had lots of fun with her and Payton over the weekend. Family fun at Grammy and PopPop's is always special.

Halloween was a packed day for us. Both MariCagle and Nate had costume parades and parties at school. (I only got to go to Nate's parade since I was working that day, hence more pictures of the son this time.) They both looked fantastic in their 'Pirates of the Carribean' costumes...Nate as Captain Jack Sparrow and MariCagle as Elizabeth the Emperess. After school, we headed to Nana and Pa's for a weekend of baby showers to help Aunt Stacy and Uncle Jim prepare for James. It was a great weekend!

Nate was in full character throughout the parade shouting 'Argh!' and 'Where's that treasure?' It was quite amusing and a testament to his far-reaching imagination.

Here is another angelic moment as they waited to trick-or-treat at Nana and Pa's house. They got to knock a few times to trick-or-treat for aunts too. And needless to say this wasn't the typical stop with one or two pieces of candy, rather the entire basket between the two of them!



Not directly related to Halloween, but part of the weekend fun included baby showers for MC and I. And Nate got to hang out with Pa for much of the weekend. I got some cute pictures at the showers, but not so many of Nate and Pa. But Nate had all sorts of fun at the park, Burger King, Walmart, movies, and fishing. And that was just in one weekend! As always we had lots of fun at Nana and Pa's.
