Happy Halloween!

We carved our pumpkin last night!

Pickle kept trying to eat the pumpkin and seeds. This kid will eat anything!

The finished pumpkin! Lily asked for a scary face.
On Friday, Anson dressed up for work. His work has a costume contest. Hopefully you can tell who Anson was....Steven Slater...crazy Jet Blue flight attendant. They haven't announced the winners yet, so we don't know if he placed. He was so creative in how he made the drink cart. He wrapped two diaper boxes in duct tape and taped them together. He made shelves to put the snacks and drinks on. He made the name badge and bought the sweater and shirt at Goodwill. He even had an emergency card in his apron pocket and a seat belt. I hope he wins something!
Later today, we are heading over to my parents house to celebrate my Dad's birthday, which was yesterday, and to take the kids trick or treating! Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Lily the Lady Bug and Dillon the Frog go to Boo at the Akron Zoo!

Tonight we took Lily and Dillon to the Akron Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. We met Jen, Ken and Zack there. We had a lot of fun!
Frogs like to eat Lady Bugs, right?

Trick or Treating...
Zack was dressed up as the Big Bad Wolf!
Lily and Zack holding hands and going in the hay maze together.
Eating yummy treats!
Dillon's First Hair Cut! I cut off his mullet. The top still sticks straight up :)

Kingsway Pumpkin Farm

Today we took the kids to Kingsway Pumpkin Farm in Hartville. What a great place! The kids had a lot of fun, and Anson and I really enjoyed it too! The weather was really nice, in the low 80s but no humidity. Here are some pics from our day. It's hard to see, but Lily is in one window and Dillon is in the other.
Petting Zoo - Feeding the baby cows.
Dillon really liked the goats. He tried to hug this one.
Playing in the big corn box!
Showing Mommy the corn he found on the ground.
While we waited in line for a train ride, Lily played inside the play cabin.
Train ride!
Waving to Mommy!
Riding the rocking horse
Lily got her first face painting!
Me and my baby girl on the hayride that took us out to the pumpkin patch!
We got to pick our own pumpkin!
Lily found a pumpkin that she could actually pick up...
And one she couldn't!
Dillon tried to pick them up too.
We got one big pumpkin to carve, but couldn't find little ones for Lily and Dillon in the patch. When we got back, though, they had small ones that we could buy.
Here are a few other photos to share:
Last Tuesday, I got to sit in and watch Lily's dance class.
Sampson went to the doggy spa last weekend and got this cute bandanna!
