$5 Costumes are A LOT of fun


I had to run by Target to pick up some medicine the other day and saw that all their Halloween stuff was on clearance. I thought I'd just take a look, but didn't really expect to find anything that I wanted because we don't do scary stuff at our house. HOWEVER, we found a Mr. Incredible and a Superman costume and they were $5!!!!

The boys have had so much fun playing in them. They would dress like super heros everyday of their life if I let them.

Pumpkin Carving

The night of our pumpkin carving we had "Spider Pizza," a cheese pizza that I put olives on to make look like spiders and the boys thought it was fantastic. Before we carved the pumpkins we read The Pumpkin Patch Parable and had a great discussion about how God helps us shine His light to the world when He takes out all our yucky stuff (sin).
Then we let the boys draw the faces that they wanted on their pumpkins and we got busy carving. I was so glad no one stole our pumpkins like they did last year. I would have been one very unhappy mama.

Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to Sweet Berry Farms to get some pumpkins and we had a great time. We got lots of pumpkins, rode the hayride and the boys got to ride a train. It's so fun to have family time.
