The Princess and the Cow

More on the Puckett family fable later... but now, some pictures of the kids and our friends from our day at the farm and pumpkin "patch".

Michaela and Isaiah on the John Deere

Michaela and Lily (and Lily's doll) taking the hay ride to the field o' pumpkins

"Can we please buy this $10 pumpkin mom, please?!"

He kept trying to lift the pumpkins

The only photo of Lily and Michaela actually standing still


And now, without further ado, our fall dress-up photos:
Because to title this post "Halloween" makes it sound so... dated. And I like to pretend like I have a hand up on the things going on in life and am not running behind as a normal matter of business. I really enjoyed anticipating Halloween trick-or-treating and dress-up with Michaela this year. She set her sights on becoming a princess and never really deviated. We had a great costume in the hand-me-down "magic box" for Josiah - a cow. I appreciate that Josiah, if he has an opinion on costume selection, cannot effectively voice it, so I still get to choose. So, however late the photos, Grammy, here they are!


Josiah spends a lot of time in this "hugging mom's leg" position

Princess Michaela

Princess Michaela + wings and 2 wands

Eating the spoils of trick-or-treating.

Trust me, this face doesn't reflect the real joy that  she exuded. Until next year, Halloween.
