Painting Pumpkins

While the girls and I were at Rock Creek, I let them each pick out a couple tiny pumpkins and/or gourds.  We picked out a couple for Chris, too, and a few days later, we had a family pumpkin painting party. 

It was all fun and games until Elizabeth started painting her hands and face. Ha!

Rock Creek Pumpkin Patch

My MOPS group met up at Rock Creek Farm in October. The kids had an awesome time sliding down a giant inflatable slide, bouncing around in a pumpkin, playing in a hay maze, petting animals, and posing for pictures for me. It was such a fun morning, and it really added to the pre-Halloween excitement in our house!

 

We got almost all the kids to sit still for this pic....

Elizabeth showed off her two-year-old stubbornness and refused to join  her friends for the picture
