2009 Halloween Roundup - Photo Edition...

Lots of carving...this years pumpkins...Jack Skellington, Malificent's Dragon, Mickey. We shockingly ended up with an unintentional Disney theme...

Our Party...with Maverick's buddies..and Halloween candy waiting for what turned out to be 200+ Trick or Treaters...

My little Monkey Men...

My Radley...holding on for the ride...

Learning to say "trick or treat"....3 seconds of cuteness...

How our trick or treating ended up this year....night, night baby...

Oh well, there is always 2010!!! I can hardly wait...

Cutest Pumpkin on the Block...

Farewell, October...

Warning...photo heavy post ahead! Proceed with caution....

Now that November is about to arrive, Little Radley an Mr. Mack are all tuckered out though you couldn't tell it from the smiles on their faces! We have had so many Fun Fall Adventures , and have many more in store. The changing of seasons is just so fun with little ones. I was so excited about this month and Radley's first holiday season to come. The weeks leading up to Halloween for me kick off my favorite time of year. I had so many fun events planned with my boys to show them what Autumn fun is all about!

I just love that each new season, change, event or activity is SO MUCH more exciting and fun with children. And the added joy of seeing them experience things together really is amazing. I realize that Maverick and Radley won't remember what all we did this October, but it sure is fun for me watching them experience everything and my Little Radley for the first time. They both have such excitement in their eyes.

Our month has been filled with pumpkin patches, pumpkin carving, pony rides, baking, dressing up, trick or treating, Disneyland, Hay Rides and lots and lots of memories (and pictures). I can hardly wait for what November holds...

Here are waaaay too many pictures of our month...
Pumpkin patches....too many times to count!

Radley, more Radley...

Unbelievable how much I love this kid...

I Can't Decide!!!

So, with Halloween around the corner, I thought it time to pull out our options for Halloween costumes this year. I have been pondering for nearly a month now, and cant come up with anything as creative as last years Michael Phelps...

or our duo costume Lobster and Chef.

But a choice needs to be made...so we brought out all the hand-me-downs from your cousins and had a little Halloween fashion show...we started with Dumbo....

I am not so sure about those ears...so we moved onto a Dalmation...

I still remember your cousin Bailey wearing this one! Hard to believe that was about 12 years ago!!!

Love, LOVE, LOVE the tail!!!!

This one has some promise. We moved on to the monkey...darn cute...

with its little monkey feet and monkey hat...

And finally the LION...which was much much too big...and the mane was very itchy...but it cracked me up...

Maybe next year....and I still have no idea for Radley...hmmmmmm
