Pumpkin Patch and Halloween photos

This was a busy Halloween Season. On Friday we went with some friends to the pumpkin patch. The little ones picked out a little pumpkin and the bigger boys picked a medium pumpkin. After that we got the little ones dressed and went with our friends to her dads work for a little trick or treating. He works at a reatly company and they had some little games for the kids and some trick or treating. They had pizza and drinks as well. The little ones got their picture taken too. The older boys wanted nothing to do with the picture taking.

Then we went to dinner at Applebees with our friends and had a great time. We don't go out to dinner often anymore with Jacobs crazy work schedule and especially not with anyone else. So it was fun for many reasons.





Then on Saturday we got up and cleaned up around the house. Then we went in search of a costume for the older boys. We have never waited that late and it was a mad house. We ended up at Party City and it was CRAZY. I think after we found them each a mask we ended up waiting 25 minutes in line just to pay for them.
We came home and the kids carved their pumpkins. We saved all the seeds and today Jacob is making roasted pumpkin seeds.
Then we went to my moms church and the kids did some trunk or treating. They also had some bounce houses, blow up mazes, slides and games for the kids. They also had cotton candy, nachos and popcorn. It was fun and the kids had a great time. After that we went to In n Out for dinner and then off to trick or treating. We walked around for about an hour and a half and the kids got another bucket full of candy. We now have a huge box of candy sitting on the kitchen counter.
It was a fun filled weekend and I am glad for today to relax. I have some laundry to do and pick up around the house again and must go to the grocerry store later, but that is about it. I want to get some pictures printed and would like to scrapbook them soon.
I have plans with my friend Coree to go shopping on Tuesday and I can't wait. We are going to go down the hill to Collective Journey and then stop at Joanns and Michaels as well. We both have a project that we want to make, and so we are going to do it together...I am excited I can't wait.








Now that it is November 1, that means that little Jacob's surgery is only 17 days away, and only 16 days until we have to go down to LA. I have so much running through my brain about it all and I know it is going to be a long process for his recovery. My poor little guy.
There are so many things I want to still get done in this next 2 weeks...crunch time. Hopefully that will give me alot to share here though. :)
