Picking the perfect pumpkin

Sitting on a big pumpkin in the patch at Biahop's Farm. Well, it seemed big until three girls tried to sit on it at once. We had a Great time with friends - Chris and Courtney Campbell, their girls (Sammy is the one in front), and Chris's parents.

The Great Pumpkin Carve-off 2008

This is from our pumpkin carving party the week before Halloween and then what the front of our house looked like on Halloween night.

Quick Update - Halloween, Forts, and the Phone

Okay, so this is going to be quick since it's almost bed time. I will post some pictures over the weekend and probably modify this post.

Halloween:
We had a great Halloween with over 100 trick-or-treaters at our door. Ella dressed up as Dorothy and Emily was Little Red Ridinghood.


Forts:
Yesterday, Sarah and the girls built their first fort. I think that is so cool!

Phone:
Today on the phone, Emily was talking to Doug and I asked her to give the phone to Ella. For the first time, Emily said to the person on the phone, "Here's Ella." Also really cool.

Halloween 2007

Yesterday was great! Yes, it was a little hectic after about 3:00 pm, but it was great. I was able to carve a couple pumpkins (I'm becoming quite the speed demon, if I do say so myself), the twins were in costume, they visited some friends around town, and we had lots (100+/-) Trick-or-Treaters. Here are some pictures from yesterday, and three short videos clips.

Happy Halloween

I know these are old, but this has to be my favorite Halloween up until this year.

From 2005, enjoy:

Halloween Comes Early

Last night, we decided we couldn't wait even one more day to see the twins in their costumes. Sarah got them each a witch outfit, one white and one black. They're not supposed to be good or evil, just CUTE! :-) Here are a few pictures from last night.
