Just a heads up that I only have two spots left in 2007. My pricing structure will be different (yes, that’s just a fancy way of saying “higher”) in 2008.

I hope you had a wonderful Halloween!

Here is my favorite from our five jack-o-lanterns…

He was such a Charlie Brown pumpkin that when I saw him at Safeway yesterday I knew I had to bring him home. It was Nic’s idea to play up the fact that it can’t support his own weight, though, so Nic gets the kudos for the pumpkin that was called “the coolest of the night” by a group of teens.

And our dragon trick-or-treating for the first time…

(Last year I went all out and made his costume months in advance. I had promised myself that I would do the same thing every year–spend hours cursing and hunched over my sewing machine.) But when I saw this dragon costume at Old Navy for the ridiculously cheap price of $25, I caved in a big way.

I went digging through my files to find photos from last year so I could compare my big boy to my little baby…and even though the comparison was exactly what I was looking for, it’s still hard to believe that a year ago he looked like this:

And speaking of costume photos–I’ve just got one entry so far, so send me your Halloween costume pics! I wanna see them!

I took the weekend off to enjoy Nic’s birthday weekend, and so we finally had time to go to the pumpkin patch. And TIME was important, since we got a tiny bit lost on the way there.

Imagine driving two and a half hours to a pumpkin patch only to find a field full of this when you got there:

The only pumpkins left in the field were smashed and/or rotting. Major disappointment.

But they had a pile of tiny pumpkins left, so we let the little one pick out his favorite:

But we made the most of it by going through the corn maze:
