pumpkin picking.


to prepare for the upcoming halloween holiday, mercer, cousin hanna, MeMa, PaPa, Grandpa, Aunt Becky, Mom, and Pop went to a local pumpkin patch. there, mercer and hanna went on a rather lengthy hayride, scampered around a pumpkin patch, fed goats, and got all kinds of dirty.

the recent cold weather has gotten everyone in the mood for spookiness, trick or treating, and the winter season in general. so has the sight of gourds, pumpkins, and squash everywhere you look. mercer has a bunch lying around the house and one of his favorite games is carefully moving them from one spot to another. and then back again. and then back again...

we'll report more on halloween in early november. we are planning on taking mercer out trick or treating this year with his good friend, sydney. we're guessing he'll last five houses, tops! last year, mercer was a hot dog for halloween. this year, he's a vampire!!

truly unbelievable that this is mercer's second halloween....
