It’s that time of year again, Halloween parade and pumpkin picking.
This past Thursday was the annual Penbrook Halloween Parade. Jane was fashioned into a Mermaid that was captured by a pirate. Linda made the costume and it was wonderful! So much creativity went into this costume, it’ll be hard to top next year.
And the best part, Jane was the winner again for the 3rd year in a row! Congratulations Jane and Grandma Linda!

After the parade ended and we were home, the skies opened up and it started pouring down rain. We really lucked out! It was a great night.
What is Halloween without pumpkins? Today, Jane and I went to the pumpkin patch at Strites Orchard and picked a few and bought a few. There was also delicious apple cider donuts that were as soft as cotton balls. Baby brother favorite foods are donuts and milkshakes, I’m pretty sure.
Jane hadn’t worn the purple vest since last March, as evidenced by the green treasure she found in the pocket.
Searching for the right one!
She found a winner! Hold it high, Jane!
It’s getting heavy… “Mommy, I can’t hold it any longer!” “Just a few more shots, hold tight!”
Commence screaming. I broke into major giggles over this.
A lady bug friend was hanging out on this one.
Another winner!
She probably would have picked all the pumpkins if I had let her.
We left the pumpkin patch with 7 pumpkins total. Two of which are some lovely gourds in light peach and light green. Gorgeous.
HAPPY OCTOBER!
