We took the kids to Oregon Gardens this weekend for some Halloween fun. They had a fall festival with lots of fun activities. There was a costume parade, a mini pumpkin sling-shot, crafts, animals (note the monkey hugging the snake tail), a hay-ride and a kid sized corn maze. It was a nice day and a fun outing. We had extra fun because the Brunsvolds' were there too!

Pumpkin Patch
Here are the kids in the adorable sweaters g'ma made for them with the too cute matching hats! Caleb had to give a few high 5's. This is forever known as the high 5 sweater.
Smelling the mums at Thistledown. They were absolutely gorgeous! We love Thistledown...it was a weekend and fairly uncrowded. While the other place down the road was just chaos!
After many "too heavy" pumkins and no's, Sarah found the perfect pumpkin. She carried it all by herself back to the wagon.
This was the only pumpkin Caleb seemed to like. Everytime he picked one, he didn't want to carry it and kinda melted a little. It was a little too close to nap time for such big decisions. He did eventually pick one and he carried it while daddy carried him.
The big weigh in. As you can see by both expressions, it was definitely time to be done! All in all it was a very fun outing. This weekend....the carving...and maybe a little pumpkin goo!

Random Pictures
Sarah doesn't get to wear dresses very often but we got all dressed up the other day. She twirled around in circles and was excited to wear her "special" shoes.
Here's our boy in the box. He crawled in here and I thought it was pretty funny. Eventually I decided okay, he's in there let's take a picture and he actually stayed. Usually these are those moments that are never caught of film because by the time you find the camera, it's over....
I think it may have been talk like a pirate day....this is Sarah's best "ARG."
