Halloween

Halloween this year was a lot of fun.  Jackson is finally old enough to get excited about things and he had fun.  Jackson is obsessed with Monsters inc and Monsters University right now so he dressed up as Mike and Link was Sully.

We took Jackson trick-or-treating but he got really scared of the other trick-or-treaters so we only went to about 5 houses before he started screaming saying it was to scary and refused to go to the door.  We had fun handing candy out at our house.  So Halloween itself wasn't that exciting but we did some fun Halloween activities during the month of October.
At the beginning of October every year Jordan's family has a Halloween party.  They play lots of games and have dinner.  It's always a lot of fun to see all the kids in their Halloween costumes.

Jackson and Lincoln with their Nana, Papa, and cute cousin.

We painted pumpkins that we grew in our garden.  We decided to paint pumpkins because I am horrible at carving pumpkins and it's really not Jordan's thing either.  Also carving pumpkins with a 2 year old and and 8 month old isn't fun just dangerous.  We painted Mike from Monsters Inc and a Minion from Despicable Me.  Jackson and Lincoln both had  a lot of fun.  Jackson pained most of the green on Mike himself with a little help from Jordan and I painted the faces. Link held a paint brush and had lots of fun watching.  

 I love Lincoln's cute smile in this picture.

 He had a lot of fun!

The finished products!  They don't look fantastic because I'm not the best artist, but we had a lot of fun painting them and Jackson loved them.

One of my favorite things we do every fall is go to the pumpkin patch.  This year we went to Hee Haw farms.  We went on a Saturday with my family and it was super busy.  There were some games and other activities but Jackson was to young for most of them.  He liked the hay ride and the animals.  It was really close to Halloween and the pumpkin patch was really pathetic so we didn't buy any pumpkins. It was fun but I definitely like the Red Barn better.  That's where we went last year and we will probably go there again next year.

 Jackson loved this swing

 Link had lots of fun too

My kids NEVER look at the camera for pictures so honestly this is about the best we could do for a family picture.  There were to many fun things to distract them.
