Go Phillies!

I've been a Philadephia Phillies fan since I was 8.  

They won the World Series tonight. 

Sweet. 

Pumpkins!

With two young kids, the pumpkin patch trip is a staple - an absolute necessity for a fall activity.  Our patch of choice is Kruger's, on Sauvie Island.  We scouted out our pumpkins (Sam wanted the BIGGEST, Amy just wanted to stop tripping over the vines), and then rode on the hayride around the farm.  Good times.  Here's some pictures of our adventure, as well as some pictures of the resultant carving of said pumpkins.  Enjoy!

Oh, yes, there was a caramel apple prominently involved during our visit to Kruger's.  We only bought one.  As you can tell from Amy's pointing, and Sam's hoarding, that was a problem.  

These were some pictures Sarah took of the kids.  I think she told them to eat the pumpkins.  To see the full set of pictures (which is hilarious), click HERE.

And...the carving.  This was Daddy's pumpkin, so I got to choose the face.  The kids got to help pull out the guts.  Amy was more interested in this than Sam...

Daddy's pumpkin...

And the next night...Sam's pumpkin:

It begins...

As you all know, Sam loves to dress up. I am pretty sure his sister is not too far behind the obsession.
