Maya's class took a field trip to Remlinger Farms. The kids had a blast, the train ride was the definite favorite.
After a failed trip to the pumpkin patch with the whole Knowles family, which included cars getting stuck in the mud, we found a break in the rain and made the trip to a local patch with just the four of us. The girls spent a lot of time wandering around to find the perfect pumpkin (well, Maya did, Laurel just wanted to take them all home) and enjoyed riding in the wheelbarrow.
Carving was not a big hit this year. The girls spent about 2 minutes helping us and then became much more interested in the birds at our birdfeeder. They did enjoy looking at them lit up in the dark after we were done though.
And they both LOVED trick or treating. Maya requested a mermaid costume, specifically an Ariel mermaid costume. Grandma Jean made the perfect mermaid tail and Maya helped pick out the red hair and crown. She was a bit disappointed to have to wear a shirt since Ariel doesn't, but I was able to convince her that a shell necklace was even better than a shell bra. She helped make it all, and was kind enough to hand me a picture of Ariel so I was sure to "have the directions". Laurel had fun in her kitty costume, but she was really more interested in the treat part. At first she had no idea what was happening, I didn't really plan to have her collect candy, but once she figured out that people would give her things she had no interest in stopping. She would hold a piece of candy in each hand and wouldn't dare put it in her bucket until another one was handed to her. Such a fun day!!
