Pumpkin Patch!

For the last few years, we have gone to the pumpkin patch during the week after work.  It's a lot less crowded and you don't have to pay for parking during the week!  This year, we decided to go on the weekend.  Since we don't live in Morgan Hill anymore, our favorite pumpkin patch isn't so close and when you go during the week half of the stuff at the patch is closed.  In addition to that, we were always rushed because by the time we get to the pumpkin patch, it is only open for 30 more minutes.

We ended up going this weekend.  I don't think I have EVER searched for a pumpkin while afraid of suffering a heat stroke!  It must have been in the 90's.  In OCTOBER!!  So we ended up rushing anyway because we thought we were going to DIE!  Regardless, the kids had fun and found the perfect pumpkins!

Always have to take a pic to see how much we've grown!

Taking some pics while we wait for the family to get there.

The search for the perfect pumpkin

Got our pumpkins!  Let's head for some air conditioning!!

Dave is going to be out of town during Halloween this year, so we had the kids try on their costumes so that he can see them on.  My Mom made this absolutely adorable turtle costume for Chloe.  She is OBSESSED with turtles!  Dominic insisted on being Super Why for Halloween!  It was so funny because he hardly watches the show anymore, but as soon as he saw that costume in the catalog (in September) he knew that is what he wanted to be!  We almost didn't find one!  This one is a little small, but it will do for 1 night!
