Halloween

Things have been so hectic lately that we almost overlooked our annual excursion to pick out pumpkins at a local farm. Fortunately, we found time to go this week and we chose some beauties – nine pumpkins in all. We carved the jack-o’-lanterns Thursday evening and they turned out as cute as ever. Jacob had a Halloween party this afternoon, went trick-or-treating at dusk, and then entertained Adam & his visiting friends in the evening. By the way, Jacob discovered one of Jim's very old costumes in our Halloween box, and decided to dress up as a prisoner this year. I guess touring Alcatraz made an impression on him, although not exactly the kind that a proud parent would envision.
