Happy Halloween!

We had such a fun Halloween! I think it involved a pumpkin patch, a ward halloween party, play group party, two friend parties and our street party. Ashlee and Danielle had a blast! It will be hard to beat for next year.

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch twice this year, but was only able to enjoy it once. On a Saturday afternoon, Ashlee, Danielle, Aaron and I all got in the car and headed north to the Pumpkin patch. We noticed the clouds when we were about 10 min away from our destination, it was a long drive. Aaron had an experience with a wall cloud while he was golfing a while back, I had never seen one before. He commented that the clouds did not look good. Right as we arrived it started to pour rain. We didn't even get out of the car, we just turned around in the parking lot. That's when we heard the sirens go off. It was pretty exciting and scary at the same time. If we didn't have the girls with us, we may have driven to find the tornado. But with precious cargo we decided to get home asap. It was raining so hard that you could only see about 5 feet in front of us. Exciting things living in Texas! We were all okay and enjoyed some hot cocoa when we got home.

The next attempt Ashlee was able to bring her best friend Madison with us. There were goats and Texas Long horns to feed and pet, a huge pumpkin patch, and a fun hay ride with Farmer Rick still stuck in the hay. It was a lot of fun.

Pumpkin Patch in Texas!

We had to go to a pumpkin patch. This one had animals as well! Ashlee had a ball feeding them. Were able to pick out a pumpkin each. We also went on a short hay ride which along the way had a story posted on some signs about Farmer Rick. He went missing and no one could find him. Well come around a corner and there you see his legs sticking out of a bail of hay. Ashlee could not stop talking about him and how she needed to help pull him out. She talked about him all the way through the weekend! So funny!

Dad is going to be... for Halloween!

One of the nights Aaron came home from work, Ashlee asked what Aaron was going to be for Halloween. She said "Are you going to be a hot man Daddy!" I had to show him where she got it from. She's been looking at the Sensational Beginnings catalog at the Iron Man costume. That was the "hot guy" and that's what she wants dad to be for Halloween. We just had to laugh! Where she got "Hot Guy" from ???
