Field of pumpkins

Mazzotti's Farm has a huge pumpkin patch. Everyone went their own way in search of the perfect pumpkin.
Eeny meany miney mo.
Seth wandered the furthest.
I was intrigued by the odd shaped pumpkins.
You never see pumpkins like this at Safeway!
Ryan made his selection first.
Then James.
Seth carried our pumpkins to the road.
One last look to make sure we chose the best ones.
Waiting for Dad to bring the car to the pumpkins.

The Night of Candy

Last night two Ninjas and a Devil Thing headed out to Overland High School for the Night of Candy. Candy wrappers on the stairs--we must be headed in the right direction.
Still looking for the candy. Overland is BIG!
At last--Candy!
Running across the cafeteria in search of still more candy.
They found pumpkins instead!
Some of the high school students made them work for their treats. This is Ryan (aka Devil Thing) playing Pin the Stem on the Pumpkin.
James playing Pin the Stem on the Pumpkin. Wrong way, James!
James' pumpkin.
After the games were over, James got involved in an art project.
Seth holding jackets and waiting patiently as James colors.
Ryan counting his candy as James colors.
"Look at all this sugar, Dada!"
A masterpiece!
Random dead high school students lying in the halls.
Random dressed up high school students giving out candy.
I like the way James is completely ignoring the scary tableau as he searches for more candy.
James was the only one who was interested in holding the giant cockroach.
Close up of the cockroach.
Not surprisingly, he was also the only one who stuck in hand in the jar of eyeballs.
Back at home, admiring his haul.
"Hey, James, I'll trade you a pack of Whoppers for that licorice."

Halloween 1987

I think 1987 was probably the last year I willingly dressed up for Halloween. My roommate Ronda and I and some other friends from our dorm dressed as gypsies and went to the "Mall Crawl" in Boulder.These pictures were taken at Michelle and Angela's parents' house in Longmont where we spent the night.

Happy Halloween

We spent Halloween 2002 with Nana and Papa in Overland Park, KS. James did not like being a pumpkin!

First Post!

Tonight I was looking for a particular picture that I wanted to scan for my tack blog. I unearthed a giant tub of photographs and spent the entire evening sorting through it. I did not find the picture I was looking for, but it really didn't matter. I had such a good time looking at all the pictures I did find. I kept calling Seth over to look at this one or that one. He told me I should scan them so they'd last forever. I told him no, what I really needed to do is start another blog!
So this is my photo blog. It will have pictures from my life in no particular order. There will be lots of pictures of kids and dogs and horses. You have been warned.
