The Halloween Count Down has begun. Today we took our special visitor, AuntB, to the local newspapers Pumpkin Patch. There was a fabulous face painter (Zoo Lady), free pumpkin spinning rides, a hay maze, pony rides, pumpkin painting, scarecrow making, some crafters (where we got a huge bone for Jakey) and hay rack rides (what is the "rack" about?). It was fun. The kids said super fun with AuntB there (probably due to loving her so much -they were so super excited she was there - and that she was paying for things I normally would have said no to). Plus - it signaled the beginning of the Halloween for them. We have done stuff to prep, but having AuntB here and getting more pumpkins - doing the fun stuff - and having their faces painted got it all flowing. Tomorrow we will have our first official "party" with friends here at our house and the kids see this as huge (it is kinda - we threw parties in St. Louis all the time, but this is with new people and anything could happen). We miss all you easy people we know how to please.
Happy Haunting!!!!

I had a wonderful time!!! As always, Patti and Dave were welcoming and the perfect hosts. I treasured my conversation time with Patti while Andersen & Ben were a blast! I enjoyed playing games and catching up on the new things they like to do. I was surprised by their excitement to see an "aunt" and it made me feel very loved. Even Dawson let me grab him right away....it could not have been more perfect to me, even food tasted better this weekend!
