This year, we all went as different characters from the Wizard of Oz. Amelya was Dorothy, complete with Toto in a basket, Molly was the Wicked Witch of the West, Norah was the Cowardly Lion (with her Badge of Courage), Sean was the Scarecrow, and I was Glinda (using Amelya's wig from 2 years ago when SHE was Glinda).
We had a great time, and Norah enjoyed walking around this year. She would NOT let go of her trick-or-treat bag! The weather was actually, well, comfortable! Our neighbors claim it was the nicest weather for a Halloween they could remember! Usually, we're bundled up underneath costumes, and we even had to wear jackets OVER our costumes one year!
After trick-or-treating, we returned home for our annual lasagna dinner! YUM! We hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch
When we moved here, we were driving around one autumn afternoon looking to purchase trees for our backyard. We came upon a farm selling a large variety of pumpkins from their front yard. We had so much fun looking at all of the different kinds of pumpkins and purchasing them at such an inexpensive price, that we have returned every year. This year, Norah was able to be more involved, and the weather was great!!
Daddy and the girls enjoyed carving the pumpkins with witches, ghosts and cats. Momma will use the pie pumpkins the girls picked for pies for the holidays!
