The rest of October

We took a preschool field trip to a pumpkin patch in Black Diamond. They had a lot of fun activities for the kids: a hay maze, a corn box (like a big sand box with corn), cute baby animals, fun playground, a hay ride, and more. Each kid got to bring home a pumpkin.

Kaylin and her friend on the hay ride.

Lauren with her pumpkin. I don't remember how she got the black eye.

Kaylin made me super happy when she wanted to be Ariel again for Halloween. I was really glad to not have to make any costumes this year. I was even more happy that the costume from last year still fit.

We went to our ward's trunk-or-treat at the church. There were a lot of princesses there:

Snow White, Ariel, and Rapunzel (to give you an idea of Kaylin's height, Snow White is 4 and is a couple of months younger than her and Rapunzel is 6 and in 1st grade).

The girls LOVED the trick-or-treating. They were so excited when they got to go again in the neighborhood.

Lauren refused to wear her costume, so she's wearing a Halloween shirt instead.

This is the only time Lauren wore her costume, it was for about 5 seconds while she knocked on the door at Grammy and Grandpa's house.

I was surprised by how much Lauren loved Halloween, except for the costume part. She excitedly went up and knocked on each door and even said "trick-or-treat" and "thank you". She wouldn't let anyone touch her candy bucket. She asked for candy multiple times a day by saying, "Bucket! Bucket!"
