Trick-or-treat night!
Check out the little bat.
He was awestruck with the puking pumpkin.
Getting ready to head out trick-or-treating.
Making sure the pumpkins were lit.
Getting ready to carve the pumpkins.
Yep, it's hollow.
I wish we could carve pumpkins everyday. He loved it! He had his hands in everything.
He didn't quite understand that the goal was to empty out the pumpkins. Here he is stuffing one with newspaper--after we had to dispose of all the seeds and guts that he kept putting back in the pumpkins.
So we went to Iowa last weekend to attend Derek's grandfather's 85th birthday "corn picking" celebration. Here's a shot of the countryside, with Iowa Public Television filming the occasion. The event included hay rack rides, antique farm equipment, and corn picking by hand. Derek's great grandfather had celebrated his 80th by picking an acre by hand, and his grandfather wanted to do the same. It'll be on IPTV "Market to Market" soon.
Enjoying the sunny day in the fields on a hay rack ride.
Checking out the horses.
His first ear!
Picking corn with daddy.
Checking out the operations--the pickers would throw the corn into the horse-drawn wagon.
Fussing because daddy stopped to get a picture. (Papa's John Deere tractor).
So my sister gave us this sled and Papa thought it'd be fun to pull him through the yard with the mower. Fisher didn't want to stop! Here he's telling Papa where to go next.
Stomping through Derek's old stomping grounds (Grammy Brenda's backyard).
Playing in the leaves with his cousin Drew.
Spaghetti face!
This kid is in to everything! He especially loves to go through one of my cabinets in the kitchen.

Really cute pictures! He looks like he's having a blast carving those pumpkins. Looking forward to hopefully getting together next time you're in the area! Can't wait to see how big Fisher's gotten in real life!
