Finally!  After all those trips to the pumpkin patches, it was finally time to carve our pumpkins!

Grandma Harris came to visit and help us.  She is a great helper!  I worked on my pumpkin with her and Daddy.

Ben worked on his own pumpkin.

Once mine was all carved, we took a picture.

Then Mommy needed help making her “Jack-o-Light-tern”.  Daddy got the drill, and we got to work.

You need holes?  Well, I can do that!

At long last it was time to get dressed and go out trick-or-treating.  I put on my construction worker vest, and Ben put his Buster Posey gear on.

After that, I got to hand out candy when trick-or-treat-ers came to the door.  I think that was the most fun!

(Ed. Note: Thanks again to Jim and Cathy for their help giving out candy.  Awesome!)

Just like last year, the Peter Pumpkin Patch was a lot of fun.

The corn pit was even bigger this year.  Actually, there were two corn pits!

I got completely buried in corn.  Woah.

And like last year, the cousins were there.  Hi Ollie!  Hi Avery!

We fed the donkeys.

And the piggies.

And the piggies ourselves.  Ice cream!  Yummy!

There was and band playing music.  Andrew really got into it.

And of course, there was pumpkin picking.

The field is huge!  So many to pick from!

Well, it’s that time of year again – off to the pumpkin patch!

Our first patch this year was at Muelrath’s.  They had some cool old tractors to play on.

Andrew like them, too.

And look at this gigantic tire we could climb in!

They also have a pumpkin launcher.  You have to pull really hard on this to make that pumpkin go anywhere.  I know, because I tried a bunch of times!

Of course, we went on a hayride.  Not much hay, though.  Just lots of pumpkins!

Finally, I picked our our pumpkins and it was time wheel our pumpkins to the checkout line.

Doesn’t Andrew do a good job pulling the pumpkin wagon?  We’re all set to carve up our pumpkins for Halloween!

It’s that time of year again – Family Pictures!

As usual, Jeneanne does a great job and takes lots of great pictures.  And Andrew and I get to have fun at the same time.  Awesome!!!

Daddy let me get my own cart on our last trip to Trader Joe’s.

I got to push it and put stuff in it and everything.  Daddy said I did a good job because I didn’t run into anything!

We went to the airshow and Wow!  They let you sit right up in the airplanes!

This one you could crawl from the cockpit right out through the front!  (Daddy helped me climb down.)

They had helicopters, too.  I got to move the control stick.

Ben went in some airplanes, too.  We took turns.

Maybe next time we can take off!

Ma and Pa came to visit us.  We had a great time visiting.  We saw them at Uncle John’s house, the pool, and they even came to our house to take care of me!

And we went to the saw mill one day.  Here, Ollie and I explore the straddle truck.

And they really do still cut wood when people come to visit the mill.

Those sure are some big saw blades!

Yesterday, we took my first trip to the beach.  By the time we got there, I’d eaten 5 squeezies, so I was already having a good time.  And then….

Woah.  Look at all that water…. Fun!

Uncle John was nice enough to take me out wading in the water.  We had a great time!

There was also digging and sand castle building with Ben, Avery, and Ollie.  You would not believe how much sand there is at the beach!

(Ed. Note: Andrew had a great time and seemed to love every minute of it.)

Daddy stopped by the library on the way home and picked us up some new reading material – good entertainment for the ride home.

(Ed. Note: Gotta love my readers…)

Andrew was there (of course) to give me a warm send-off!

Once we got to school, I met up with my old pals Patrick and Julia!

OK, Dad.  You can go now.  Really.

Really?!
