Trick or Treat...Mario, Luigi and the Princess

Introducing: The Princess, our Kitty, and Mario & Luigi
(note: it turns out that the pumpkin we got with the wart looking things on it, is solid as a rock and totally uncarvable.
Weird...who knew?




Trick or Treat...guess who?

And yes... we're still dealing with the "pants" issue. For those of who haven't been witness to the predicament- For Lincoln, since summer when he wore his Cars swimsuit like every day, he has been ruined for long pants. He will not wear them, and when he does, he pulls them up. Still! To walk anywhere with him is excruciatingly slow and I've gotten two comments now (both in Costco, and both from grandpa-men, oddly enough) about 'getting this boy some shorts'.
I foolishly thought that sleeper pajamas would start to cure him...no, oh no. This is, of course, something we're going to expound to his prom dates and his wife.

So, about the costume... 'Luigi' from Mario Brothers video game. We learned very quickly, because of the many headaches, that we needed to drastically reduce Lincoln's access to Christian's D.S. game unit and the Mario Bros. games. At least now, not every sentence out of his mouth is, "I play Christian's D.S. now?". Oh... and he tells complete strangers, and everyone in ear-shot, for that matter, "I'm Luigi!", while jumping up and down.

You can probably guess, but yes... he does sleep in the hat.
He's the cutest dang Luigi we've ever seen!

If the Pumpkin Patch is the Icing...Fall Leaves are the Decorations!

My FAVORITE thing about fall...have to be the leaves in all their color majesty! A few pics from, practically next door, Butterfield Canyon with my dying point and shoot. (Hey Santa, guess what Mommy wants for Christmas?)

More Pumpkin Fun





Pumpkin Patch Time Again...Yeah!!!

I know...I know I haven't posted in forever! Well, here's some "picks" that should turn that frown upside down!

I absolutely love fall! No really... I ABSOLUTELY LOVVVVVVVVVVV FALL! The Pumpkin Patch is just icing on a delicious Halloween cookie! This super cute farm is practically down the road. It even had a miniature corn maze Matt took the other kids through while Calle and I scouted for out perfect pumpkin. (Note: You'll see Lincoln is holding a baby watermelon... yeah, we had to bring that home as well.)
