Halloween 2008
Okay so I am cheap! I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a costume that would only be worn once. Therefore I made the kids' costumes. Shaunee was Sponge Bob Square Pants, and Justin and Jade were robots. Our ward had a pizza party, pumpkin carving contest and trunk or treat. Joe's pumpkin's won 1st and 2nd place.

The Pumpkin Patch
Tonight we went to the pumpkin patch. I don't know if you would really call this a pumpkin patch, but they millions of punkins to choose from. The kids got a kick out of Mr. and Mrs. Pumpkin. The kids had a good time. We got there kind of late, so we had to hurry and pick them out.
