Halloween

Very early in October (or was it late September?), Bradyn started asking when we could take Diana to Laity Pumpkin Patch for our annual visit.  I really thought the girls would have outgrown this by now but I have a feeling I'll still be carting them there when they're 15.  

Hamming it up as usual.

Fitting right in with Pringles beaks.

This year there were no blood and guts for Bradyn's costume (although she did dress up as a zombie the week before when she went to a friend's to make a haunted house).

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Artemis, Greek Goddesss of the Hunt.  Bradyn came up with this all on her own, inspired by her love for Greek Mythology.  Only one person at school knew who Bradyn was but that was OK because it was the boy Bradyn is currently in love with.  LOL.

Artemis and her trusty partner in crime, The Raccoon.  Can you believe how tall Diana has gotten?

A little reminiscing about past Halloweens....

Yup - they've grown up just a little.

My favourite part about trick or treating with Diana is how the girls unload all their goodies on the floor when we get home and start trading.  Diana can't go home until they've finished this last, very important step.  

I sure hope the pumpkin patch and trick-or-treating are two traditions that keep going for years to come.  These two melt my heart.
