First Pumpkin Patches and Halloween Festivities

The first weekend of October, Jason and I took the boys to their first pumpkin patch. We were able to take the boys in the petting zoo part and walk up to the horses, as well as take a hay ride. They soaked it all in. These past several weeks, it's been so hard to get them to take pictures looking at the camera when outside somewhere new; they just love to look around, observe and soak it in. You can see the wheels turning as they look around.

Wyatt loved the hay and kept rubbing it on his face for some reason.


Gavin seemed to enjoy the pumpkins.



The boys kept standing up from this seat in between pictures, and of course falling forward. Just imagine Jason on the side catching them in between the shots!


The week before Halloween, I took the boys to another pumpkin patch with our friend Natalie and her son. The boys were much more into it this time and standing and walking from one pumpkin to another. Here are the pictures below.

The Saturday before Halloween, we went to Bridgeland's Howl-o-ween fest and our church's trunk-o-treat. The boys were wide eyed the whole day watching all the people, dogs and festivities. By the end of the day, they were pooped!

Halloween was on a Monday this year. We decided not to take the boys trick-or-treating because their dinner is typically around 6:30pm and they go to bed around 7:30. So after dinner, we put their Halloween shirts and sweat pants on them for pjs, put their costume hats on and passed out candy. They boys enjoyed watching all the kidos come up with their costumes. Gavin enjoyed taking the candy out of the box and chewing it. We have to admit, I think we passed out some slobbery pieces ;)
