At the pumpkin patch searching for the right pumpkins.

Madeleine found some broken pumpkins out in the field.

Then she ran off into the hay bale maze.

Mommy had to chase her out. Daddy stayed away from the maze due to allergies.

We picked our pumpkins and headed home.

We started to carve the pumpkins.  Madeleine peeks to see what is inside.

After getting a peek, she puts the lid back on.

She seems somewhat skeptical of mommy scooping out the pumpkin.

More surprises inside!

Her little pumpkin was carved by daddy with an M³ for her nickname.

Daddy keeps carving while Madeleine examines her pumpkin.

Our pumpkins out on our front porch.

Madeleine getting ready to go our for Trick or Treat.  She pulled the green cotton balls off of the green covers over her shoes.

Madeleine at a party the previous day in her costume, eating Halloween treats.

Out in front with mommy and our skeleton lights which were strung between the roses along our walk.

And off we go with our neighbor Erin and his daughter Allison.  We went to 8 houses.  Madeleine wasn't up to saying "Trick of Treat" but she worked at "Thank You" and was quite good at "Bye-bye," which she shouted as we left each house.

She figured out right away that if she stuck her bag out at each door, people would put stuff in it.  Once we got back, she tried to shove some of it in her mouth, wrapper and all.

Not quite part of Halloween, except that it happened that night; Daddy on the floor fixing Madeleine's crib after her jumping broke some of the rivets holding it together.  Machine screws worked as a substitute.

Madeleine is back to jumping while daddy replaces the last missing rivet.
