No Tricks...Only Treats in the Month of October

We started the month at...The Annual Cuero Turkeyfest which is held the second weekend of October and features food, dances, a parade, entertainment for the whole family, and of course the final heat is the "Great Gobbler Gallop" turkeys race to see who gets the title of “Turkey Capitol of the World”.
 The turkeys that raced were: Ruby Begonia vs. Paycheck

 Which one should we get?
 "This one?"-- Too Heavy
 "I got these two!"

 Our Big Pumpkin
"How 'bout this one?" --Too Wrinkly and Too Big
 "I think I found the Great White Pumpkin!"

 "Well....which one do you want Mom?"


HALLOWEEN IS A REAL TREAT:
I decided to let the girls paint the pumpkins since we were so eager to buy them early in the month.  I wanted them to last.
 Isabel painted the Black Bat

 Lillie painted the little one--She enjoyed making a mess.
