Brenden's First Pumpkin Carving!

He was so very excited to carve a pumpkin but he actually of course thought that meant we were going to paint the pumpkin and not cut it. He was very surprised when I started cutting in it and was very worried I was going to cut myself. He also did not like the smell of the pumpkin when I opened it up to gut it. All in all it was a good time had by all. We wish Dave could have been there. Next year for sure!

Pretty awesome I must say!

A Pirate's Life for Me!

Brenden can't wait for Halloween to wear his pirate costume....so this is the result every night:

Yuma Family Pumpkin Patch

We are trying to get into the Autumn feel of the season but I have to say it's still been 100 degrees here and is just too HOT! Tired of Mother Nature waiting to give us a break, Brenden and I ventured out to the Yuma Family Pumpkin Patch. It was pretty fun I have to say. Horse rides, tractor rides, petting zoo, bounce houses, face painting and a hay maze. We had fun and it's too bad I didn't know that there would be a pirate show at 7:30 tonight. Brenden would have loved that but there was no way I was staying another three hours there..

Halloween Decor

Brenden is really getting into Halloween this year. He wants and will be a pirate and he can't wait! He helped me decorate the front of the house and had such a great time. He was quite proud of his work - stayed tuned as we attempt to carve the pumpkins....
