The Pumpkin Party


Joey and I love sharing all the fun things about fall with our family and friends. Here are our top 10 memories from this year's Pumpkin Party (in no particular order):

1- The weather was perfect. There were even red and yellow leaves falling to the ground.

2- The game, "Walk the Plank," with the spiders and web turned out to be scarier than intended. That fake spider web was really sticky. Poor Bug had to find out the hard way.

3- Mom and JP bobbing for apples. So funny!

4- Victoria's pumpkin won "Best In Show." Her reaction to winning the prize was priceless!

5- Megan and Matthew showed absolutely no fear in the "Fear Factor." They're growing up too fast. Uncle Joey and I had better step it up a notch when it comes to the spooky activities.

6- Oh, the costumes! We had a witch, spooky fairy, werewolf, scarecrow, ninja, astronaut, Dorothy (from The Wizard of Oz) and two bananas (and a were-witch at some point).

7- The pinata was no match for Matthew, as usual.

8- We ate "cookie monsters."

9- I think we all remembered our cameras this time. Speaking of which, send me your pics please!

10- Joey and I were very excited about hosting the party with Cole for the first time. Although, the funny thing is, we were so busy we barely got to see him. Good thing we had lots of hands to help us out with our little scarecrow.

BTW- If you're looking for Cole's new picture with the monkey, I'm posting it in The Lance Family Web Album link.

Cole at 2 Months, Finally...


Okay, so I'm about 2 weeks late posting this, but here's a picture of Cole at 2 months old with his monkey. He rarely enjoys lying flat on his back, so I had to pose him propped up against the monkey. I wonder if he will let me take pictures like this when he's a teenager?
