Pumpkins

We spent most of the morning carving pumpkins. I was surprised that the kids actually helped clean them out this year. That is my least favorite part of carving which is why they usually do this with Auntie Cari! The kids picked out all the patterns and I did the rest. They were happy with the turn out.

Popsicle

I was on the phone with Jared last night when he heard Charlotte start fussing. He said, "Give her a popsicle and tell her it was from Dad". So I did and she loved it!

Pumpkin Patch

The girls and I went to the pumpkin patch with our MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) friends today. We go to a great little farm just outside of town where they get to feed fish, plant broccoli, see the animals, go through the store, visit the bakery for a treat, learn about the cycle of water, pick a pumpkin, and get a goody bag! We just missed the rain but caught some sprinkles, it didn't seem to bother the kids though.

Riverbank Wine and Cheese festival

The kids and I went to the Riverbank Wine and Cheese festival recently, not for the wine or cheese but because they had "The Lego Experience". The kids had so much fun playing with the Lego's and checking everything out. They got a necklace when we walked in where the had to participate in different Lego thing to collect stickers for the back. The kids also got to go on a few rides and play some games. The rides were fine but the games.... well we left there with a hermit crab, and a 4 foot inflatable purple alien!
