Our little G devil - Halloween Party

Today was the Halloween Party at G's preschool. I spent time there in the morning, carving pumpkins and making pumpkin bread with the kids, and then the party was at 4pm. Noelani went early to help set up and to get Gabriel dressed. We will also get dressed up on Sunday with the little ones in the neighborhood and go trick-or-treating in our court. I think that this year we won't be able to convince him that after collecting candy, we give it back out to other kids...

As it should be, there was a parade.

And sliding.

And swinging. Direct quote: "We are so high we can almost see over the fence!"

Be afraid. Be very afraid. :-)

Pumpkin Patch

Perfect day at the pumpkin patch (except that Noelani stayed home because she was sick).

Boy in a pumpkin patch...holding a
roly-polybug.

Our little man pulled the heavy pumpkins himself (mostly).

Diggin' the cow train! So fun we rode it twice.

The hay-bale maze was a big hit again this year. G and Olivia both did not seem to understand the concept of staying inside the maze...

...they assumed the hay-bales were there to climb over.

Pony ride, of course.

Classic photo, for sure.

But I like this one better! ;-)

We spent a loooong time in the corn-pit (a corn-pit is like a sandbox but with dry corn in it). Gabriel had a great time, but I was a little overwhelmed by all of the kids and chaos.

Here's lookin' at you, mom

Too cool.
