We had a really nice weekend. Matt's parents came up to visit. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, so it made for a great trip to the pumpkin patch. We went to Johnson's Giant Pumpkins again this year. They have a really nice variety of activities, but the big draw is the trebuchet. We watched a 74 lb. pumpkin fly almost a 1000 ft. Gabe and I ran down to check the spot where it impacted. There was nothing but some bits of shell and a mushy crater. It was pretty awesome.
The boys took a ride on the mini train and got to see some birds. I think they saw geese, but lately Chi insists every large bird is a duck, so according to him, that is what they saw. We came home loaded down with pumpkins and gourds. Slowly, but surely, we are starting to get the home decorated for Halloween.
Chi's costume is pretty much ready to go. He is going to be the Cat in the Hat. I still have a bit of work to do on Gabe's, but it's about half ready. He is going to be Han Solo. Really it was all about weapon choice this year for Gabe. He wanted to be a storm trooper so he could have a blaster. I pointed out that it would be easier to make a Han Solo costume and he had a cooler blaster, so that worked for Gabe.
Yesterday was also a nice day, but we were tired out. While Matt and Chi napped, I had on the Colts game. Gabe looked at the score and asked, "Is that how many tackledowns they have?" Oh, yeah. We've educated him well in sports. I tried to explain touchdowns and field goals, but every time some one got tackled, he said, "Yea! A tackledown! How many points, Mommy?" I think we are going to have to work on that. :)
