Pre-Halloween

I have not been a good blogger lately.  I know that I should have posted this like a week ago.  But here are some of our pre-Halloween but getting ready for Halloween pictures.  We didn't do a lot this year, but the kids didn't seem to notice.

We went to the pumpkin patch that we went to last year and this year they were charging for everything.  That was depressing.  But going to just the pumpkin patch part was still free.  The boy in the middle is my brother Conner; he came along with us on our excursion.

Megan liked touching all the pumpkins.  This was a good one.

The real winner was the big corn box.  There were all kinds of toys for digging and dumping.  Megan liked playing in the corn also.  I don't think she ate too many.

We put up our Halloween crafts outside, instead of regular decorations that you have to buy.  The kids were really proud of their artwork.  Unfortunately, there were a couple of rain/wind storms in the week before Halloween.  So some of our artwork disappeared. 

Will took the girls to the primary program practice and then the Halloween carnival they have afterwards.  I wish that I could have gone, but I had Stake Auxiliary Training.  Oh well.  There is Rachel picking out a prize after playing a game.

I didn't get to actually see the mustaches, but the girls sure were excited to tell me about them.

We spent an afternoon doing pumpkins.  Whitney and Rachel both really liked pulling out the seeds and goop.

She ended up getting a ghost pumpkin.  I carved a face for Rachel's one.  Anyway, those are the pre-Halloween pictures.  Stay tuned for costume pictures in a couple of days.
