We went to a pumpkin patch last weekend and let the kids pick out their own pumpkins. After no time at all Nathan had chosen this one that Jessica is helping him with.
Alexis was searching all of the bins. She is never pleased with her first option. She managed to choose two small sugar pumpkins instead of one big one.
There was a bin of grain set up with bottles and other containers for the kids to fill and pour. Nathan enjoyed the pouring the most.
Alexis, true to form, made sure each bottle was filled to the very top before she would pour any out.
All of the kids posed in the mums for one last picture.
Alexis is going to be Cinderella for Halloween. She will be all decked out with a tiara and high heels. I will be taking her Crocs with us just in case. Nathan has chosen a pony costume that he puts his legs into the back legs of the horse, and it will appear that he is riding a bronc. It is very cute, and I managed to talk him out of the pink pony that he had originally chosen, just because I knew it would freak out his daddy. I must say the pink pony was very pretty. Jessica has decided she is too old to dress up for Halloween. I am not sure what is up with that, because I love a good costume. Her mother seems to have a warped sense of what being a kid and having fun is all about, so Jessica seems a little scared to let loos e and have fun with stuuf like this. Hopefully I can convince her to get a costume, because she will be with us on Halloween and I don't want her to feel left out without one.

My step daughter and step son have both been led to believe by their mother (she's one of those people that always "finds" religion and then gets strict and tells the kids that by dressing up you are worshipping the devil on holloween if you dress up_) anyways. This woman who tells her kids that they will go to hell if they celebrate is the same woman who hasnt paid child support in two years. It swear her priorities are screwed up. I swear just because biological parents are not always the smartest nor best suited to raise them!
Halloween is my very favorite holiday! No stress! Just candy and costumes!
And, no, I'm not worshipping satan! I think you can't worship something without knowing your doing that. Just like you can't accidentally worship God, I don't believe you can accidentally worship satan!
I just like the fun!!!
Cathy- WIth Jessica it is more of a "you're too old to dress up". It's just silly.
Patience- Glad to see you have returned from your trip. Halloween is my favorite too. It is sooo much fun.
