Halloween and Fun

I feel like such a slacker. I love to look at other people's blogs and wish they would update them more often but then I neglect mine. I will try to be better but I wouldn't count on it.
Ignore the fact that some of my pictures are big and some are small. For some reason it wouldn't let me make some bigger.

The Monday before Halloween we had Family Home Evening with Clint's family at our house and carved pumpkins.

The finish products!

I wish I would have taken a picture of all of our pumpkins. I decided we needed a bunch for our front porch. I thought that just a couple would look pretty small and lonely so I only bought about fifteen! They were so cute when I had them all out.

Our neighbors have this cute train that you can ride. They offer rides every Halloween and on other occasions. It is so fun and the kids love it!! Quite frequently when we drive by the kids want to know when we can ride it again.

Kale wanted to be a dinosaur this year. When I showed him this costume he was so excited!!

Wyatt hated wearing his costume. We even practiced wearing it and going trick-or-treating in hopes that he would like it. It didn't work, every chance he got he tried to take it off. Oh well hopefully next year he will like it better.

Here's our little pumpkin. It was pretty cold that night so he spent the majority of it in his car seat.

All the girls in the family dressed up like witches.  I think with the picture so small you can't really tell but I look so goofy. I always manage to do something to ruin a good picture!! haha sorry ladies!

Two weekends ago the weather was nice so we decided to take the kids fishing. When we got up there Clint realized he forgot the fishing poles. Luckily he had left one in the back of his truck on a previous trip. The kids didn't care though they had so much fun just running and getting dirty. We only were at the lake for about an hour when the clouds started moving in and the wind started blowing. That was ok though it was fun and Clint did catch a pretty nice one.

On our way back Clint decided we better stop and check and make sure the horses had water. When he got back to the truck, Kale said, "Look a pheasant!" Sure enough there was a hen and a rooster pheasant in the field and it happened to be opening day of the pheasant hunt. And not surprisingly Clint had his shotgun in the truck. Kale was so happy he asked if it was his pheasant. I'm glad we were able to get out one more time before winter hits!

One day I decided I wanted to try curling Darcy's hair in ringlets. She looked so cute. It was sad though. I had her sitting on the counter in the bathroom and had set the curling iron down next to her and she put her hand down and burned her finger. She got a big blister and everything. Then she wanted Daddy to come home and Grandma to come get her. Luckily I did get her to let me finish it.

This cracked me up. I don't know how she could stand having her arms under her like that.

This is the best picture I have been able to get of Garrett smiling. It isn't even a very good one. He smiles so big and it is so stinking cute!!

I am a terrible picture taker. I didn't get one of Darcy by herself on Halloween and the ones I got of the other kids aren't very good. I guess I will have to have them get in them again and get a few more. Other than Wyatt I don't think they will mind. In fact I have let them put them on a few times since. They are just so cute.
