Butler's Orchard

We took the annual trip to the pumpkin patch/fall festival.  Moxie got to pick any pumpkin she wanted and she picked a weird bumpy goose neck one and then a white pumpkin.  Mom picked the traditional one.  Moxie's favorite thing?  A weird ear of corn she fell in love with--she's been prying individual kernels off for days.  

Carving the pumpkin

We carved pumpkins.  Well, first we picked them out (I'll post about that later) THEN we colored on them and THEN we carved them.  It was pretty stinking fun.

No Pants.  All Business.

This is what the second kid does: crawl around the outside.

Unafraid of the knife

Despite her best efforts she can't saw her fingers

Moxie takes this biz seriously.

Halloween part 2

Here's our adventure in family pumpkin carving. It's really great having Grandpa and Grandma here to help. Moxie wouldn't touch the pumpkin guts but it was still fun. 

Boo Moxie Too!!

Ok. So the results are in: Noa wins for best Ladybug, Ari wins for best Batman, and Moxie wins for best Elephant.  Hands down.  Here's the proof:

Boo Moxie!

We spent Moxie's first Halloween with Andrew, Tracy, Josh, Ari and Noa. It was pretty fun. Moxie ate her own body weight in candy. 12 lbs 13 oz to be exact.
