 On the hayride to pick out pumpkins for carving.

 This year we got together with a bunch of people to carve pumpkins.  Mitch wanted very specific details on his: triangle eyes, triangle nose and a "mouth shaped like a moon".  Turns out, 3 year-olds aren't super interested in the carving process, just the end result.  Maybe next year...

 Here are all the finished pumpkins.  Matt's is the farthest right, Mitch's is next and mine is next to Mitch's.  As you can see, some were near professional level carvings!  This is the only picture we have with all of our pumpkins together because a day or two after we put them on the porch someone smashed them.  Luckily, Mitch never asked what happened.

 For Halloween Mitch wanted to be a purple airplane.  We got some cardboard boxes and spent a few hours over a few days to construct this but he loved it, wore it the whole time he was trick-or-treating, and it held up fairly well.  He was a big hit!

 This is the second year Mitch and his friend, Gillian, have gone trick-or-treating together.  We take them to a community college campus where they have trick-or-treating in the dorms.  Mitch got more than enough candy and had a blast, much more into it this year than last.  All we need to work on now is the timing of when to say "Trick or Treat!" as he would yell it as he was knocking on the door, then was silent when the door opened.
