Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival

What a fun 2 weeks we have had!  We took the boys to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin and then they carved it with Daniel.  They had a blast!  Here are a few pictures from our adventure...

 


On Friday we took the boys to the Fall Festival at our church.  Now, you have to understand our son, Thomas.  For some reason he loves flags.  He has a book of flags and he has learned all of the country flags and any time we see a flag around he points it out and identifies it.  Well, about a month ago he told me he wanted to dress up as a "United States Flag" for the Fall Festival.  I thought it quite odd, but he was certain this is what he wanted to be.  I assumed he would change his mind by Friday, but on Friday he was still asking to be the US flag so we made the costume that day.  He loved it and had a great time reciting the pledge of allegiance to anyone who would listen...truly a memorable night!!  (And of course Jacob was the cutest lion I have ever seen!!)

 

This was our last Fall Festival for a long while.  In Costa Rica they do not celebrate Halloween at all.  It seems these days as if we are saying "this is the last time for..." alot.  We are leaving in less than 2 months...time seems so short yet we have so much to do!  Thanks to all who are continuously praying for us!!  Please join us in praying for God's will to be done with the sale (or not) of our home.  We love you guys!!!
