It's the Great Pumpkin!

We took a family trip to the pumpkin patch at Suburban Lawn & Garden...now THAT's the place to go! First they gave us popcorn to snack on, then we got to take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch! It was so exciting...as soon as we got out, I had to go potty, so we got to get right back on the hayride and go up to the building. Mommy & Daddy loved that part. THEN we all rode in a golf cart BACK to the pumpkins...Kai just kept saying "Ride! Ride!" it was right up his alley!













We painted our pumpkins with lots of beautiful craft paints. Mine had a butterfly and rainbow on it. Mommy didn't take pictures, though. I think it had something to do with Kai picking up my 'wet paint' (that doesn't come out) pumpkin after she just cleaned him up and took off his paint shirt. She got over it though...I think. Happy Fall Y'All! Elena

Boo! It's Halloween Fun!

We went to a scary Halloween party at our friends' house this year. It was funny because Mommy & Daddy dressed up too. Oh, that's right, they always dress up for Halloween...maybe THEY are silly rabbits!

One Rootin' tootin' cute Farmer Kai:


Wolverine? That's pretty good Daddy...were you really Logan in the movie?


Mommy from '92, her friend Maria the Gypsy and Marcola the vamptress:


It took me all of three seconds to decide I wanted to dress up like a beautiful princess, five seconds total to decide Cinderella was the one! My favorite line? "It's like a wonderful dream come true!"


The whole crew! It was a fun party, thanks Como's!


Now, the actual night of Halloween, it was brrrrr, "bootie Ma'mer" cold! Mommy bundled us up good and we trick-or-treated our whole block. No junky, funky candy in orange and black wrappers around here...each house offered a smorgasboard of chocolate--full size Hershey bars, Kit Kats, Snickers, bags of goodies and LOTS of M&M's (our favorite!). When Mommy commented today that I sure got some good candy, I just told her the flat out reason--"Well, I'm a good trick-or-treater!". What was she thinking? Like they would give ME licorice!?

So, did I mention I even had a princess fur coat? Kai wanted to wear his Safari hat but it didn't even go...I think that's why he's looking a little bewildered in the last picture...he thought Safari Farmer was just fine! Until next time...boo!
