Happy Meal-o-ween!!!!

We had a super fun Halloween this year. Traditionally, the festivities began by going to the Pumpkin Patch. We went with a bunch of our good friends and picked out the smallest pumpkin we could find :) We actually grew pretty sweet pumpkins in our garden so we weren't concerned about spending money on these babies. Here's us with the tractor guy.

Then, three days later Carson and I went to the Pumpkin Patch again for a preschool fieldtrip. That was really fun getting to know all of his preschool buddies...and the moms!

There they all are!

Then, one of the highlights was the Farm Man Challenge that Harris and I did the morning before Halloween. A good friend of a good friend is fighting Stage 4 melanoma, so there was a benefit run in her honor. We did the 10K which was no ordinary 10K! We were climbing over huge hay towers, jumping over big pvc pipes, crawling under a semi truck, and my fave...the finale of running over the huge bouncy pillow. It was a blast, and a good way to pre-runoff my Halloween candy. I hope the benefit was a success to Christina McEvoy and she is in our prayers as her and her family go through this fight! This is Harris and I. I actually look kinda buff ;) This picture makes me laugh.

And this is us all after the race. The kids had a great time playing with the cute little goats running around. They really were pretty cute. Too bad all the sweat made me so cold afterwards or else you could see the sweet little Halloween getup I wore during my run!

Now for the moment you've all been waiting for...trick-or-treating! Having Halloween on Sunday definitely puts a damper on things. We went trunk-or-treating with the ward on Saturday night. Check out this juicy little hamburger. I seriously would eat her. She is so stinking cute. What is that face? I just need a huge collage of all of her crazy little faces she makes.

And now, last but not least, our little Happy Meal family!
We could not get full body shots due to the point lids. Oh, and yes, that is a hamburger on Amelia's head.
