Halloween!

So here are a few quick pics from Halloween.  Each kid got to go with a friend this year, yes, even Jill.  I didn't get too many shots because it was quite chaotic.  Maybe I will do better next year!

This was the best of the kids, though Jill was walking off.

Jill and her friend Tess follow the big kids up to trick or treat.

We were with this big group for a few streets.  Jill was too slow to get in the pic.

But she takes off for the next house.

And one from last year, just for fun...

Pumpkin Patch 2010 Part 2 - Just Jill

So, I wanted to try again for some cute Pumpkin Patch Pics of Jill.  And I think I got some!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

So this week, Kiki and Owen were in town visiting for a day and we decided to take the kids to the Pumpkin Patch at MDUMC for some Grandkid pics.

If you think this sounds like a great idea, well so did we.  The execution was not as easy or successful.  We had 4 adults with 4 cameras taking pictures as quickly as was humanly possible and this was the best we could do!  Of course, in our defense, getting a 9 year old, a 6 year old, a 4 year old, a 2 year old and an infant to look in the same direction and smile at the same time is pretty much impossible.  We are ready to declare it a proven scientific fact.  And any discussion on the matter is closed. 

The best pic.  At least they all looked pleasant!

This was how we started out.  I like that they are all looking and facing different directions. 

My kids.  Jill was having a "I refuse to look at the camera and smile day" that day.

Almost...

I give up.  They are all smiling, though.

Jill.

Josh.

Jake.

Mom and kids.  Notice Jill had hijacked the camera at this point.

And a look back at last year.  I forgot how nice it is to have dry ground and not rotten pumpkins to take pictures with!
