It finally turned cool here and the 90+ degree days seem to be a thing of the past! So, to celebrate the 50 degree days we decided to take the kids for some Autumn fun! The great pumpkin could surely be found in this pumpkin patch! The prices this year were unbelievably cheap! Each one of these gigantic pumpkins the kids are sitting next to is only $10! I wanted so much to get a giant pumpkin, but Mike said the emergency room costs from his hernia would far outweigh the benefit of having one of these in our yard.
We've decided to have a Halloween party at our house again this year - but this time just for our block of neighbors and some of Mike's office staff - not the entire neighborhood. Everyone, adults and kids, are dressing up in costumes and trust me, you will never in a million years guess what Mike is going to be this year! I think I will leave it as a big surprise until after next week's party and then will just post photos! Zachary will be a blue Transformer (which he thinks is the very coolest costume ever) and Katie and I are going to be Renaissance Faire princesses. Katie decided that she and mom had to dress alike - thank goodness I talked her out of being a leopard! Can't imagine how scary I would have been in leopard print spandex! Probably would have frightened even the adults!!!
Oh, and for those who want to know what the "prairie" state looks like - look beyond the pumpkins at the horizon - you can see for about 100 miles - because it's so FLAT!! LOL!!!
