We can thank Jacob that we have pumpkins to carve this year. He was very persistent in asking me to take him to get a pumpkin to carve. It's been really busy so I kept putting it off. But he wasn't about to give up. So the morning of Halloween Jacob and I headed out on a hunt for pumpkins. And as you might have guessed, EVERY story was out of them, with the exception of Wal-mart who had small pre-painted, over-priced ones. We bought one of Wal-mart's pumpkins just in case we couldn't find anything else on the rest of our hunt. Just as we were about to head to more stores, I remembered a garden stand that is sometimes by the gas station...I turned around and headed to the Garden Stand. Just as we pulled up they were unloading a trailer full of pumpkins--the last load of the season. Jacob had GREAT FUN picking out the best pumpkins for him and all his siblings--and we got all the pumpkins for under $10. Needless to say, it made Jacob's day, and I feel that a little prayer in his heart was answered. We're blessed with promptings and guidance in even the smallest details of our lives.
They all had FUN carving pumpkins!

We almost didn't go trick or treating this year because of Sam's allergies to all the candy. Then, we had an idea....Sam could turn all his candy in for MONEY. He ended up with $10 which he gave to Jacob to buy a Star Wars Lego set. Total WIN-WIN!

I think Jacob had more fun passing out candy---he spent half the time trick or treating and half the time passing out candy.
