Flower Power


We went to a Halloween party Saturday night at our friends Heather and Israel's house. They have a farm in Taft, TN complete with a pumpkin patch. The party was so much fun! They had hay rides to the pumpkin patch where the kids could pick a pumpkin, an apple pie bake off, a costume contest and a showing of "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."

We, of course, waited until the last minute to get our costumes. We've had Avery's flower costume for a while so she was set. Saturday morning, we went to the Halloween store and looked for costumes for us. I couldn't find anything, but Adam saw some hippie costumes. He said that we could be hippies and Avery could be our flower child. What a great idea! We didn't win the costume contest, but the costumes were a hit. I especially got a lot of compliments on my crazy pants. But of course, Avery was the cutest of all!
