I know I'm slow, but I though I would get some pictures up from our recent fun.  Above you can see my scary creation for the year.  It was actually quite fun to make, but took a lot more time.  If you have ever tried to do a thin wall designed pumpkin then you will know what I'm talking about.  At any rate, I made Joe jealous of my pumpkin.

The day before halloween Eliza and myself went with my sil to trick-or-treat around her husbands work, and afterword went to a corn maze and activities.  Below you will see my two neices, my sister-in-law, and Eliza having fun.  Eliza wouldn't ride the pony by herself but was insitent that she get a turn, so I took her on the pony myself.  She is such a stinker at times.  All the kids loved the horse tire swings!  Eliza wanted to get on them every time we got near them.  We also did some burlap sack sliding but I didn't get any pictures of that.  It was quite chilly the day before halloween so everyone is bundles up, and then the following day on halloween it wa warm enough to only need a light jacket or none at all if you were wearing warm enough clothing.  Crazy weather!

Apparently walking into the corn was more fun that wandering the maze!  Love the little ones!

Halloween day!  There were plenty of leaves to rake up and play in, and Eliza had a blast crunching her way thru the leaves.

We went to a trunk-or-treat in the church parking lot and had a fun time handing out candy and Eliza went around with Joe collecting candy.  The little stinker wouldn't keep her hat on when she came over to the car, but loved having it on when she was going around getting the candy.  I bet it was more that she was distracted by all the candy to collect and didn't care enough until she stopped by our car.  After the trunk-or-treat we went to a party with friends and ate food, had pie, and watched some movies.  Eliza was completely worn out when we got there and slept for a couple hours until she decided it was time to get up and get some food.  Needless to say, that nap recharged her enough that she was a stink bug when we went to put her in bed after the party.  All in all it was a ton of fun!

If you can't tell in the picture, Eliza LOVES dogs.  If I was a SAHM then we probably would have a dog, but we aren't home enough so the dog would be too neglected so no pets for us yet.  Perhaps in a year or so.
