Pumkin Walk.....

Well our holiday season has started. We have a tradition in our family to go to Logan for the Pumpkin Walk. This is how we start off our Holiday season. My kids enjoy going every year. They love going and looking at all the carved pumpkins. We usually go with my brother, but this year he couldn't make it. We missed not having that part of the tradition. Maybe next year. It was fun to go. Every year they do a theme. This year it was Heroes.

PUMPKINS...

Here are the pumpkins from our garden this year. We only got 20 of them. For some of you, you know that isn't even half of what we usually get. We even tried white ones this year.

Halloween......

So Halloween is almost here. Taylor wants to have a Halloween Party on Halloween night. So we are trying to come up with decorations for Halloween, anyone out there with suggestions. We are going to try to have it outside. We are going to have a fire going outside,play some old fashion halloween games, like bobbing for apples,etc. But I am stumped on some scary decorations for outside that don't cost an arm and a leg... Any suggestions would be nice?
