Plymouth Orchard.

My MOPS group visited the Plymouth Orchard last week. Luke had a tough tonight that night before and needed to take his nap during the scheduled visit. We decided to just go on our own after lunch. Luke LOVES attention--here a group of ladies were "noticing" him and he was eating it up! I think Luke would prefer to stay the only child!
Here Luke is trodding through the pastures of the petting farm!
What's the first pumpkin Luke wants to touch in the pumpkin patch??? Of course...the opened, moldy one! He's all boy!
I'm not sure why this picture is sideways...but here Luke is excited about going to the Orchard!
After playing with the open pumpkin, Luke decided the dirty pebbles going through his fingers sounded like much more fun.

Harvest Party

Luke went to his First Halloween Party on Friday before Halloween. He was the only kiddo who would keep his costume on but I think that's because he didn't realize he had it on :). The party was "controlled chaos" with all the kiddos. Luke did not really particpate in the trick-or-treating nor the games...he enjoyed the cupcake though. A few moms (and g-mas) hid in closets/pantries so the kids could go trick-or-treating.
In the midst of all the chaos, I found Luke "taste testing" other's sippy cups. Little stinker!
Here the kids played "pin the face on the pumpkin". We thought it would be challenging enough without the blind fold :).
Here is an attempted group pictures. A few moms were not there but this was the best we could do. In summary, 1 firefighter, 2 lions, 1 pooh, 1 lobster, 1 dragon, 1 Red Power Ranger, and 1 Pumpkin were present!

Murder Mystery

Yep. If you don't recognize the stud on my arm--that's my hubbie! Thankfully, that was just a wig!
Eeek! White is the WORSE color on me!!! I am soooo pale--NEED TAN!

Our very good friend, Jerry, hosted his annual Murder Mystery Party in Terre Haute, Indiana. Jerry does such a great job hosting--this year was a 70s theme. Fondue, great music and TAB made a statement at the party!! It's so much fun to get together with such old friends--good time was had by all.
