Texas Halloween Rookies

You know those things you do to be a good parent? Like, driving past the Fall Festival less than a mile a way because a neighbor tells you there's one ten miles away that has pony rides? So, you make the drive, patting yourself on the back the whole way. You get there, eat a hotdog, choose a pumpkin, and then, the best part of all... the pony ride.

Harrison wouldn't even get on the thing, and Asher, well you can see what he thought about it. To add insult to injury, he went on a preschool field trip a few days later, and you guessed it, there were more pony rides. This picture's actually from that.




A friend was driving Sean home from a meeting last week, and he saw our Jack-o-Lanterns on the front porch. "So, you already carved pumpkins, eh?" He said. Sean laughed and told him they'd already rotted though they'd just been out a few days. "Rookies." he chided. Guess Halloween in Texas is a little different than what we're used to. Well, the Texas Halloween Rookies did take #2 and carved a second set of pumpkins the day before Halloween. We're happy to report those two pumpkins smiled and "booed" for almost a week.
