Pumpkin Patch and Trunk or Treat

Brooklynn made it to the top without breaking a sweat!
Every year Brooklynn and I, along with some of our dearest friends go to Schnepf Farms Pumpkin Patch in Queen Creek. We hoot-it-up with miniature golf, rides, dog shows, pig races, a corn maze, a spooky movie in the pasture and a yummy out-door barbeque. The scary train ride after dark is the highlight of the day, besides just being together.

Brooklynn as Spongebob was a big hit at our annual ward Trunk or Treat! The little children were especially thrilled with it. Just as the crowd quieted down for the blessing on the food, one little 3 year-old called out from across the parking lot, "Hi Spongebob!"



Well, I had a total riot as Warren Jeff's 3rd wife. Here is how it came to be. About 2:00 PM Wednesday (the day of Trunk or Treat) I told Mindy that I didn't know what to wear. She suggested that we go to Savers. So we were scouring through all the women's wear when I came upon that exquisite blue dress! Mindy's reaction was, "Oh, that looks like a polygamist's dress!" So I figured it was all meant to be! Mindy styled my hair in a French braid with my bangs standing up. With my tennis shoes and crew socks, I think I could have almost been an undercover agent for the government! I put a sign on me with 'Warren Jeff's 3rd wife' on it just in case someone mistaked me for the real thing! If you need a costume for this weekend, give me a call!

I loved your costumes. Addie ran up to me a few times and said, "mom there's spongebob". It was as great as seeing characters at disneyland. :)
