Jack-O-Lanterned

Oct. 20, 2012

We had a good time with this. Maybe it's the new front porch, but it just seemed a lot easier to do at the new house.

 Sophie did a lot of observing.

 G helped scoop the goop, which we really did roast in the oven later - see, I can be traditional.

 Daddy, it turns out, is an expert carver.

 OH MY SHE IS SO ADORABLE.

 SHE'S NOT BAD, EITHER!

 The little one. Georgia decided that the little one, Sophie's, would be "sad."

 The big one, daddy's, was to be scary.

 The medium one, Georgia's, was to be happy. Hmmm. Before you ask, we saved two that we weren't going to carve and they were "mommy's."

Bikes! At the park!

So we had family fun for TWO DAYS IN A ROW! We took the bikes to the park and had so so much fun.

Check her out!

Early that morning, before things really got started, the girls did their thing with all the dress up costumes.

Sophie on the pony!!!

Wait for it...wait for it!

To the Pumpkin Patch!

We were so excited to pull this trip off! And before Halloween no less!

 Sophie was even wearing appropriate clothing! G was wearing a dress, natch.

 Bright and early.

 In line for the first hayride of the day.

 Let me say again, I was really happy to pull this off.

 I'm just posting all the pictures we took.

 Soph wasn't scared of the hayride at all.

 Last year, in this very pumpkin patch here, I had to nurse Sophie under a blanket. Yep. Have I mentioned how glad I am that portion of motherhood is over?

 G picked out her own.

 Sophie's eyes are bigger than her upper body strength.

 Daddy was awesome, carried FIVE pumpkins for us!

 They also have a great petting zoo.

 And this duck swim race thing.

 And tractors.

 Oh and while Georgia was waiting in line to have her face painted, Sophie pointed to the pony ride and then DID NOT FREAK OUT ONE LITTLE BIT.

 She is kind of amazing.

 Sophie's first facepainting.

 Snoring. Loudly.

 The heart has been smeared away from her cheek. Oh how I love her so.
