Costume Preview...

I finally got all the supplies I need for the kids halloween costumes. Any guesses...

Poor kids, I was going to let them pick their own costume until I came upon this idea! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Pumpkin Patch...

Something I have wanted to do every year, but sadly have never done is take the kids to a pumpkin patch. We had to make a trip to Lubbock, so we added a trip to the pumpkin patch to make a yucky dentist trip for Ten into a fun trip for all the kids. 

Ready to be set loose to run and explore...

Me and my babies. Miles asked me if I was happy when I had babies. I told him yes of course. He then replies oh that's why you keep having them. Because you had Ten and then me and then Syd and Madi?!? Silly kid! I do love my babies, that's for sure!

Our little herd. Madi doesn't quite get the concept yet...

My little pumpkins. Madi hated the way the grass(or I should say prickly sticks) felt...

Working his way around the hay bale maze...

Poor Ten. She was so happy to go to the pumpkin patch, even with her cheek numb.

I don't think Syd was even trying to get out...she was just walking around...crazy kid...

The spectators...

Enjoying the hay ride...

Goofy kid...

Don't let the halo fool you...there's still a little monster in there...

Hey "Squish"!

Having a blast jumping around in the pumpkin patch...

Leaping over the weeds to see if she can find the perfect pumpkin...

Syd found one she liked...

This is one of my favorite shots of the night...

Half way through the hayride they stop and let you get off and pick your own pumpkin, if you want. This bunch is loaded up ready to head back...

They have been set loose to stretch their legs...

Getting instructions before we head into the maze...

Our little troop...they were eating this up...I only got us lost once!

These are just some fun shots...

Got Pumpkin?

Umm...Fall...I love it...

Sun setting into the corn...

The view from the lookout in the corn maze...

Miles/Cow...

 Ten/Sheep...

 Sydbo/Pig...

 The riders...

 Ten and Squish ready for their ride...

 Little toot, she doesn't look it, but she was really excited...

 He wanted to ride this as soon as we got to the patch...so he is beyond excited...

 How Goose and I stayed entertained while we waited on the kids...

We have so much fun...We should definitely make this an annual thing!

Piggies...

Last year I took the kids to the WTC farm to see the baby pigs and they loved it. So when Mark and Esther invited us over to see their piglets, we couldn't resist taking the kids by to see them.

 Sweet Evie...

 Miles was loving every minute of this...

 Little Luke...

 Ten was a natural...

 Laney loves those piglets...

 Feedin time...

 It's the little things that make our kids smile...and such sweet smiles...

 Sydbo wasn't so sure she wanted to hold one so she let Aunt Essie help her...

 Such a good Momma...

 No matter how hard you try sometimes...you still get pooped on! (I feel like that some days)

 Fascinated...

 Snuggled up and staying warm...

Before we left, Uncle Mark let the bigger piglets out for a run.  It was really loud, so our kids weren't sure what to expect. It was so funny watching their faces as the piggies rounded the corner and started heading down the alley for them...Laney knew exactly what was coming...

 Sydbo decided she wasn't hanging around for this...it was really loud...

 It's good to stretch their legs...

 Herding the piggies back to their pen...

Madi had a wonderful nap in the car while we looked at the pigs. Maybe next time she will want to come check out the little pigs with us.
