Pre-Halloween: Pumpkin Patch + Pumpkin Carving + Costume Preview

Not pumpkin or Halloween related, but I had to snap another pic (or several actually) of this bookworm at it again. I love to see it. She was reading her book after she had hopped off the bus after school one afternoon last week.


Ok, on to spookier things! Fred, the meat head, ended up in our fridge. I tried to warn the fam he was in there so they wouldn't get too frightened when they opened the door. Clara and I made him up for a Halloween lunch I was putting on at my office.


On Saturday Amanda and I took the girls to the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch. It was such a nice day out.
































Clara's chosen pumpkin was too big and heavy for her to carry, so Mom had to take over.


It's looking pretty fine all carved now.


I had been trying to convince Clara to watch Gremlins with me, but she wasn't interested, so I finally watched it by myself on Sunday night. Sadly, it wasn't as good as I had remembered for some reason.


Behold: Clara the Bear!









Brynn carved her pumpkin on Tuesday night. It turned out so cute.





Fred's going crazy waiting for Halloween to arrive.

Our neighbor, Barb, brought over some cookies from Jen's Bakery. She spoils us.

As you may know 10/29 was National Cat Day. I concocted a plan to get my cat fix by celebrating at work. I had offered my co-workers could bring their cats (even better if in costume) for some trick-or-treating at the office. This is Scarlet. She was so sweet. Sadly, I only had one kitty show up, but I still think it's one of the best ideas I've ever had!

Her whiskers make it look like I have whiskers. hehe.

This is such a great post! I love how into her books Clara is. That looks like such a great pumpkin patch you guys went to. The picture of Clara & Adria in the "wanted" sign reminds me of that picture of me and Jenna with the "wanted" background. So cute. Love the carved pumpkins, and Clara's costume...ahhh hahaha! I have to show this to Oliver. He is going to love it. Kitty trick-or-treating at work was definitely a great idea! Glad you got your cat snuggles in!
