Local Pumpkin Patch

For the last two years, we have been going to the local "urban" pumpkin patch.  Jordan went with school to the farm and we plan another trip to the farm before Halloween with the whole family.

The local patch is a lot of fun on a Sunday morning.

There is a train, pony rides, electric animal rides, art and more.

Happy Halloween 2011

Jordan came with me to my Treehouse Halloween party. Here I am with Michael, the witch.

Mama and I decorated a pumpkin for the pumpkin contest in her office building. We used a LOT of glue and pom poms.

On Halloween night, we had a scary running video upstairs in our house. I was afraid that it made our house haunted and wouldn't go back in at the end of the night until Daddy stopped the video.

Trick or treating, canal-style!

Halloween Crispy Treats

Mama and I made our first rice krispie treats together for Halloween. Mama has only eaten them but never made them before. We took 40 marshmallows....

mixed them with butter and rice krispies and...

Yum-o!

Our debut as Minnie and Mickey and Pumpkin Patching (10/22/2011)

We went to a spooky Halloween party the week before Halloween this year. The backyard was full of scary things. Jordan loved it but I was scared.

We also visited Shawn's Pumpkin Patch. Last year, it was running but this year, it was gorgeous. We rode the train again, had some watermelon drink, pet the animals and ran around.

Halloween Pictures

Jordan was a peapod (for a minute, he didn't like the costume) and I was Ariel. Daddy was Ariel's Daddy :)

Our almost complete new driveway....just needs the pebbles.

Gigi or Jordan?

Mar Vista Farmers Market Halloween Festival

This morning, the whole family took a bath (Jordan was having a great time!) and then we headed to the Mar Vista Farmers Market. Jordan was a little sad, so I reached out to hold his hand and he stopped crying. We met my friend, Gemma....had our faces painted and danced to some music by Birdy.

Halloween Party at School

On Saturday morning, we had mystery guests! Zoe and Lucy stayed over because they are moving (boo hoo) down the street and their new place was just painted. We had to decorate cookies early and get to school for our Halloween party.

Here are some pictures of the party. As usual, I had a blast. I was even able to climb around the tree house with my Ariel costume on.

These are some YUMMY "healthy" cupcakes from Akasha. And they look great, too.
