Halloween festivities

Finally I took a minute to find the cord to the camera so that I could download some of the things that we have been doing over the past month. These pictures are in no particular order--in fact they are mostly backwards. As the kids get older, and Tracy is gone a lot, we have to take who we can get and do what we can when we have the chance. Tracy and I took Hayden and Katie to the pumpkin patch to go through the maze and to pick out pumpkins. Since the older kids didn't come, we picked out pumpkins for them as well.
Hayden and Katie, once again, were the only ones that wanted to make the haunted houses. Whitney started to help them, but someone called to see if she wanted to go to Sonic to get a drink, so we finished them ourselves. The little kids had a lot of fun and afterwards they ate part of their creations.
On Monday, we carved our pumpkins. Whitney was there--I should have got a picture--she was just watching a show with one of her friends. The other kids had a fun time carving pumpkins and now we are ready for Halloween.
