Like a Gypsy in October

"There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir,

We must rise and follow her;

When from every hill of flame,

She calls and calls each vagabond by name."

An afternoon at the park where we saw a 'Haunted Graveyard'

that a neighbor had set up which enthralled the kids.

Cool, huh?

Time for our annual visit to the pumpkin farm!

My mom, youngest sister & I then took a impromptu girls' weekend (which our husbands were completely cool with) for my Mom's birthday. Actually we were talking about visiting an area my grandmother's old place that we used to visit when we were kids. About that time, Hubby jokingly suggested we should get going quickly if we were to leave that evening. We all looked at each other startled, smiled & said "Are you serious?" I don't think he even realized how he unwittingly encouraged the idea. Within two hours, we had a plan & were on the road & had an absolute blast!

When Hubby was away on business, my mother-in-law & I took the kids bowling which Son really enjoyed. Believe it or not, he actually took the majority of these pictures! He's getting pretty good aim, if I do say so myself!

My youngest Brother & girlfriend came to visit. It's always nice to see them.

Shortly before Halloween, we went trick-or-treating at a local downtown area. Son & Daughter both enjoyed walking around & talking to people. We always enjoy seeing the creative things people make with the pumpkins. I think the 'Incredible Punk' was a general favorite though!
