On Tuesday, we decided it was time to carve our pumpkin. The kids were excited, but didn't want to help at all. This is Mike saying, "Why am I doing this all alone?" 
We had to bribe Jenelle into putting her hand into the pumpkin and this is how she felt about it at first. Then she was okay with it and helped some more.

Clay even helped some. 
Here's how it turned out. Mike drew on it and carved it. I love how the smile is so friendly.
On Thursday, we met some friends in the beautiful hills around our home and had some fun with animals and hay. Here are my two, Denise's three, and one other friend, Lilly, in the wagon.
Clayton rode the hay cow. 
Jenelle rode the other one.
I know that most people got real cute pictures of their kids in the costumes, but I am not most people. This the picture I took of dress rehearsal. On Friday night, Jenelle actually had on black pants and a black shirt under her bee costume. She loved it and wore it 5 or 6 times before we left for the Harvest Festival at church. My friend, Melissa, loaned us these costumes. Very thankful, because I was too cheap to spend any money on them.:)
This is Pooh looking like he needs some more honey. He didn't love the costume, but he was a good sport about it.

Cute costumes :) The pumpkin thing cracked me up.... I guess they are slimy on the inside. Glad you had a nice time with your friends on Thursday, looks like it was beautiful.
Matthew could not stand dressing up either...but even 2 days later, we can't get his costume off!
Janelle's face reminds me of how I feel every year I carve out the pumpkin:)
The pumpkin thing is a memory. I only got it because Mike said he would be in charge of carving it. Glad he didn't end up having to do it alone.
The costumes are too cute. Maryann didn't want to wear hers either at first. Now she keeps wanting to wear it. Tinkerbell is better for me than no clothes, so she's been running around in it. Glad you had fun up in Oak Glen.
Love, Caroline
