We have had a really fun weekend. Saturday we woke up, had breakfast and carved our pumpkins. Then got ready to go to Farm Day. We'd never been before and only heard wonderful things about it. It's every year on Halloween and is located around the Baker area. It was raining on the way there, which was perfect b/c Christopher and I took a great nap. (Brick kept Brandon and I up a LOT the night before.) We ran into several families that we knew and haven't seen in a while. They have events going on all day ranging from horse rides, Home Depot workshops, petting zoos, nature trails and antique cars. They also have scheduled events planned like a hay ride, helicopter landing, bonfire and fireworks. The best part is, it's free!!! They had hot dogs, hamburgers and bbq sandwiches. All you have to bring is a covered dish to share. It was overcast and quite chilly, but loads of fun. We left around 3:45 and the kids and I were out within a few minutes. (I told you I was tired!) We put the kids down when we got home and I relaxed on the couch, still trying to come up with a costume for the party we had that night. We woke the kids up at 6:00 b/c the party started at 5:30 and they cried while putting on their costumes, until they saw that kids were trick or treating and then we couldn't get ready fast enough. We had so much fun at Rob, Sarah and Della's house! We went to just a few houses to get some candy and then went back to the party to eat and play. Sophie wasn't sure what to think at first, but then she'd get upset that we weren't taking the entire bowl of treats when we left a house. The girl loves her candy! We all crashed into bed and this morning Christopher came into our room, early thanks to the time change, and whispered, "I want to go trick or treating again b/c I had fun." He told us this a couple times before Brandon finally got him to lay still. When I woke up for good I walked out to find both kids back in their costumes over their pajamas. I guess halloween was a success for us this year! (above written by Brittny, photos & comments below by Brandon)

Christopher was, by far, the best Spiderman in the world. The only source of energy he needed to ensure a safe America was a bag of M&M's.

Silly Sophie was so happy she got to eat the delicious chili at Rob and Sarah's house.

Sweet and polite Christopher had to escort his lil' sister to the neighbor's house so they could Trick or Treat.

Sophie discovered that an empty bucket is far easier way to score the wonderful candy.

Here is another picture of our kids Trick or Treating.

We made it to Farm Day, and despite the nasty morning weather, it was a beautiful day.

Christopher rode his first horse ever!

Mommy joined in the fun too. But she had to take Sophie as a chaperone since she was scared.

Enjoying his second horse ride when he wouldn't let us leave.

Sophie is completely excited at the anticipation of riding a horse.

Brittny caught this gem while we were in line for the horses. I love it!

Prior to Farm Day, we carved pumpkins.

Here are our creations lit up. The bone for Brick, the truck for Christopher and the completely stereotypical punk-man for me.

Even early in the day, Christopher was showing signs of sleepiness!

Ewwwww. . . Pumpkin guts!
