Pumpkin Patch fun with Jamie! Jamie had a day off and took the kids to the pumpkin patch. They both found three great pumpkins to carve this year. Mark tripped over every pumpkin stem, twig, etc in the patch, but still managed to have a good time!
Halloween night! Both kids were so excited to go trick-or-treating! Here we have Belle the butterfly and Mark the old time golfer. Isabelle is shouting, "Happy Halloween" to every neighbor out there.
Excuse Mark's runny nose. We have battled a major case of sickness here at the Mercier household and we're finally on the tail end of it.
My attempt at getting the perfect Halloween shot of the two of them together never worked, usually never does. They were way more interested in heading out for the candy! Isabelle enjoyed helping Mark walk to the doors and they both did an excellent job at saying "trick-or-treat," and "thank you." Everybody got a good laugh trying to understand Mark saying it, but he definitely knew exactly what to do! The only hesitation was when someone came to the door with a mask on and they didn't thrill him too much.
Pre-Halloween we had a party to go to. At this point, both kids had picked their costumes.....Belle wanted to be cowgirl and Mark a superhero. Within a couple weeks, this obviously changed to a butterfly and a golfer. Dressing up is usually a common theme daily at our house, so this came to no surprise to me and Jamie. (BTW...take one last look at that awesome carpet and linoleum because in one more week it will finally be wood floors!!)
