Selecting a pumpkin in 100 degree weather!

See the Drew and Allen Daily News for more photos because we didn't take many!

Halloween 2009

Daddy and Lizzy head to the door to trick-or-treat. The Lil' Stinker checks out the pumpkins by our front door.

"Carving" the pumpkin with Mommy.
Steppin' out as a skunk! People loved her costume and said she was absolutely adorable.

Elizabeth was a huge hit as the skunk (worn by Allen last year) at her school costume parade and trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. We ended up with quite a supply of candy, which of course will be thrown out (straight into my belly!).

October fun in Indiana

Lizzy went to the Connor Prairie Country Fair and tried out some tractors and the pumpkin patch. We have been to two orchards where you can pick your own apples for $.75/lb.! I made apple crisp this weekend with the apples that Lizzy picked at Tuttle's Orchard. She picked out a small pumpkin at her school's festival on Saturday, but we will probably go to another orchard to get our carving pumpkin. The joys of living in the Midwest! We might even cut our own Christmas tree this year!Lizzy and Milena check out the crates of apples.
Finding a good one!
