HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

The past two weeks have been insane! I"ve been meaning to post pictures forever, but first the fires, then I had to kick a kid out of my preschool (first time I've ever had to do that!). FINALLY, a moment to sit down and upload pictures. Only a few days before her monthly post
First picture: Cutest. Chicky. EVER. LOVE this costume! I chose it last year when I was pregnant, and went back to the magazine I saw it in last year (I keep all my magazines. Its a problem. I need help). Found the company, Children's Place, and they had it again this year! SO cute. So this is Jessica wearing her Chicky costume, but it was taken back in early September when I got it.
Her she is on Halloween night, with her trick-or-treat bucket (which she got at her first bday party she went to, her "goodie bag"). We went to one house, around the corner. One of her little friends from school had a haunted house, and since it was so close we went. Then she went right to bed with no bath- she's was a tired baby!!!! Picture of Steve's costume coming up.........

In our "parade" at preschool.

She and the other baby rode in the wagon. So cute!

I was a farm girl! Check me out, John Deere hat and all. And she was my chicky :)

On our fieldtrip to the pumpkin patch. Aren't we cute in our matching Shuckleberries t-shirt?

How funny is this?

Steve's costume. The junior high teachers went Punk this year. Steve got it nailed. I think he's lived this in a former life. Oh, and it took longer to do his hair and makeup than mine. High Maniance. But he looked good ;)

Nothing to do with Halloween, just the cutest fishy hat ever. So funny. And she wears it. Yep, she rocks it

Her first trip to the pumpkin patch! This was the Sunday that all the fires started. You can see how windy it is in some of the pictures. First one is of her and her great-grammy.

Jessica LOVED the pumpkins. She was particually into the stems. We only stayed long enough to take a bazillion pictures and buy some pumpkins, then we had to leave cause the winds were so crazy. Can't wait to go back next year! (for any locals out othere, these were taken at Bates Nut Farm in valley center. That place is so cool!MMM, pumpkins are good........

Hope you all had a fabulous Halloween!!!!!!!!!
