Is it Halloween yet?

It feels like Halloween is the new Christmas.. it just keeps going and going. I have to admit I am feeling a little burned out and we haven't even hit the Big Day. We had a great weekend though which included a few more pumpkin patches, a great party at the Braden's in Walnut Creek and was topped off by the Serra Preschool Halloween Fair and carving pumpkins.. whew no wonder I feel beat today. Madison is almost three.. so her most popular phrase is "I can do it myself" so this is her pulling the load of pumpkins to decorate the house with. She insisted on picking them out, lifting them herself and pulling the wagon.

Saturday we headed to the east bay to the pumpkin patch in Pleasant Hill with the Brinkers... it was in the mid 80's but at least we got everyone to smile for the "annual family pumpkin patch" picture.
Jack started walking and he is a man on the move. Here he is charming the camera with those cute smiles and showing off his new big boy haircut. Not to be outdone by cousin Reese who was all smiles in her pumpkin shirt.
The Dads are leading the charge around the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect one.

How cute are these two? They have so much fun together and always love a chance to snuggle close and say cheese!!
Sunday we were off to the Serra Preschool Halloween Fair. Gina and I were on set-up and the Dads were in charge of bringing the girls in their costumes and staying for clean-up... ouch. The two biggest hits of the party were the nail painting and tattoo room and the Monster Mash dance party room.. good work Gina! Here Madison and Callen are waiting for their nails to dry and then they were ready to hit the dance floor.
Gina and Andrea took a turn in the tattoo parlor... Gina, where's YOUR costume?

The Eggerts love Halloween and Gina takes great pride in their costumes but this year takes the cake. Check out the Eggert Sisters... complete with silver crosses. Sr. Sadie at the arts and crafts table.
