We are fortunate enough to live very close to Engh Gardens. Every year they do an amazing set up for Halloween complete with a haystack maze and pirate ship! Emerson LOVES to go here and even when it's June and we drive by it, he refers to the nursery as "Halloween Place". They do a great job and we really look forward to going there each October. The pumpkins are astronomically expensive so we just get our pictures taken by them and then leave to go buy ours at the grocery store.
Throw some sass into the pic, why don't you?
Aye aye, matey!
I think next year the maze not be as fun since he will be able to see over it!
Boo! He loved it when I would hide and crouch around a corner and scare him!
Mr. Scarecrow (and his crotch) says he is a little over 3 feet tall.
His love of tractors is never ending!
Hey there!
Oh this kid is fun! And to top it off, he is a handsome little guy! I just love these pictures!

We also went to my sister's house and carved pumpkins for FHE one night. This too is a tradition for our family. I seriously love everything about Halloween. I love the guts and gore, the horror and mystery, I love the food and the crisp air, I love the parties, decorations and crafts. But, I did discover something about myself this year, however: I don't really like to carve pumpkins. I don't like getting my hands, and arms messy, I don't like cleaning up the mess off the table and floor, I can never get my lines and cuts into the pumpkin to look good and I never feel creative enough to come up with something clever for the face. And the whole time I am carving it (and getting a workout, might I add!) I can't help but think that some jackass of a teenager is going to steal it off my porch and smash it in the road. It all bothers me and I think I'm done with it.
It was really fun to just be with my family. The kids were really enjoying themselves and that's all that matters!
My dad helped E with is pumpkin!
Isabelle and Toby are hard at work!
Colett make rice crispy treats every year. She actually makes them all the time, but my dad always requests them when we carve pumpkins. We don't like to break tradition in this family. Colett has mastered the art of rice crispy treats and I must say that they are the best I have ever eaten!
Matt is an artist, not as a profession but as a hobby. He has done a Halloween painting every year for the last 3 years. I love them!
After 3 years, Emerson is still trying to warm up to Matt! Still.
This is where it gets funny! After taking photo after photo that night - it somehow turned into a big photo bomb session! I cannot look at this picture without laughing hysterically! I think it is so funny and if you know my brother-in-law, it's even more funny!
Toby, this picture is absolutely darling of you! Sorry we had to go and ruin it!
What lovely pumpkins, Mom and Dad but what's that behind you? Awe Nick - so funny!
Who doesn't love the subtle and ever so classic bunny ears! Way to go, Dad!
