Fright Night

The train engineer getting a pre-candy pep talk from Mama - "Don't be distracted by bright colors; head straight for the chocolate, boy!"

The choo choo train is off and ready to collect goodies.

After every door, the mantra was "Let's go get more candy!"

The Great Pumpkin Patch

We have an amazing pumpkin patch near us that entertained Whit for hours last week.  Here are some pics from our visit, courtesy of our guest photographer, Papa.

I Just Can't Leaf It Alone

Because of the veritable forest in which we live, raking this fall was almost a daily activity for me, and Whit always wanted to join in.  I finally got him a rake his own size, and I've never seen someone so happy to do yard work.  Dad showed him how to angle it for maximum thrust, and the piles we created made our yard look like the Grand Tetons...but much softer.
