Meet the newest member of our family.
Sally the Scarecrow! Making a scarecrow
each year around Halloween has become
somewhat of a tradition in our family!

Preschool Halloween Party

Brogan has had so much fun in preschool the
last couple of years. Our preschool group meets
on Thursdays. Each mom takes a turn teaching
a letter of the alphabet. I really enjoy coming up
with fun ideas when it is my turn to teach. I was
very excited when I ended up with the letter "H"
and so close to Halloween. I decided to have a
Halloween Party. I made cute little mummy
invitations to remind them about preschool and
to invite them to wear their costumes. We read
a spooky story about Mickey Mouse and a
Haunted House. I made a Haunted House out of
graham crackers for each kid to decorate with
frosting and candy. Then we played Halloween
Hopscotch! It turned out to be a lot of fun!

The Pumpkin Patch

This year we decided to pick our pumpkins out
at the Pumpkin Patch. It was lots of fun. The
owners had it decorated so cute with great places
to take pictures!

Seth even got into the spirit of things and helped
to pick out the perfect pumpkin!

There were so many pumpkins to choose from!
We had never seen so many pumpkins all at once!

Brogan took great care in finding his pumpkin.
He kept trading in "the perfect pumpkin" for
another "perfect pumpkin"!















Gavin just couldn't find a pumpkin he liked.
They were all "GROSSY" to him!

The Fam

Hi, we decided to jump on the "blogging band wagon". So this is us....Daddy Seth, Mommy Gillian, Brogan our 4-year old, and Gavin our almost 2-year old.

We tried to do family pictures on our own again. It has worked pretty well in the past even though it is quite an ordeal. We have to take about a million pictures to get one we like. Ironically enough the first picture we took this time was our best, except for the back drop. Oh well, we will try again!
