I'm finally going to update our blog. I've been meaning to for awhile, but there is something about the fall that makes me want to do projects or crafts or redecorate things in my house. So my mind gets busy with these other things and then the blog gets a little neglected. But one thing I can blog about is last night.
Jace, Maeley, Carson and I went to Linder Farms Pumpkin Patch. Jace and I have gone every year since we moved to this area. There was so much to do there besides pick pumpkins. They have a petting zoo (with a zebra and camel), pumpkin launching, corn mazes, train rides and yummy food. But the only time I got the camera out was when we were on the hay ride to the fields. So enjoy the photos of us. I guess if you want to see the other things I mentioned you are just going to have to go to Linder Farms for yourself, its fun and worth it. 
Last night we carved pumpkins. Each year I have to fight the urge to throw the gooey insides at someone...anyone. That is the kid in me coming out. But since we were indoors, I controlled myself. The picture above was Meg's great idea. Carson definitely wasn't happy about it until he found his fingers. He's going to be like his Uncle Tom.
Too bad we didn't have one big enough for Maeley to fit into. Still, she had fun carving and helping, but didn't like the "insides" they were too cold. 
Everyone carved their pumpkins and with out planning it they turned out clumped together by family. Can you see a difference between the Smith pumpkins and the Perry pumpkins? I think trick-or-treaters will be more impressed by their cool, scary pumpkins than they will be of our happy, jolly ones.
Oh, and I made a Halloween cake and it was one of the easiest I've ever made. The cookie was the hardest part. Yummy. Ya know what; I'm going to go have a piece...hurry home Jace or there might not be any left...
