Halloween fun

A couple of weeks ago we all went to the pumpkin patch with Kates preschool. The kids loved it! Kirk went out to the patch and found the tiniest pumpkin, he called it his "baby pumpkin". He also loved the field corn, he wanted to eat it. I love Halloween, picking out pumpkins, raking leaves, and dressing up in costumes. The kids were so excited for Halloween. The morning started with Kates preschool classes Halloween party. She was so excited to see all of her friends dressed up. Then Kirk and I headed to the store to get some candy. I wanted to get it at last minute, otherwise I'd probably eat a good portion of it before Halloween. Later after a good nap we headed to Dan's work. Lifetime puts on a great party, with candy games, and prizes the kids really enjoyed it. Then Dan took the kids out trick or treating. They actually went for a whole hour. About halfway Kirk plopped down on his knees, and just couldn't go any further. Dan carried him home on his shoulders. It's been fun to see the kids get into the holiday so much. Today both of them came upstairs with a empty garbage sack. They said they were catching ghosts in it. Kate was sure to tell me they were just pretend ghosts. Another fabulous Halloween surprise is that were having a little boy! I went into the doctors yesterday. He said that they are 95% sure. I'm thrilled I think it will be great for Kirk to have a little buddy. Kate took it pretty well. She was hoping for a sister. I think since her cousin Alexandra is having a little baby brother it's helped her with the idea of another brother. Well were off to my parents house to do some more trick or treating.
