They're Creepy And They're Kooky, Mysterious And Spooky...

What else did we cram into our October?? Shayne flew "home" to visit his parents at their new river house in Virginia to help work on the remodeling and really enjoyed snarfing down some Maryland crabs and putting his hands to use other than making spreadsheets! While he was gone, I and the kiddos hosted Grammy Su and Grandpa Bar and the Greats Wakefield for Sunday dinner. Natasha whipped up that adorable pumpkin to wish her friend a happy birthday and designed the awesome centerpiece with nature surrounding our house...love that girl and her creativity!

Down And Down She Goes...

I don't know whether Fynnley likes to go to the pumpkin patch every year or if she just gets really excited about the idea of it but doesn't really love the actual event execution...because every year we go and she is pretty much in a funky mood and whining the entire time. Okay, so this year she did have a pretty bad cough to accompany her, but still...
Nonetheless, we showed up with the rest of her preschool class at Hee Haw Farms in Pleasant Grove to have a morning of running through the hay maze, flying down the big slide on potato sacks, chasing after the farm animals in the petting pen (thanks dirty ducks for splashing your disgusting black water all over the back of Fynn's lovely, yellow dress...uh, yea, it is now ruined!), squishing as tightly as we could on the hayride over to the pumpkin patch and taking approximately 3.5 minutes to pick out the PERFECT pumpkin. Ah, good times, good times...??
