The Great Pumpkin Post, Part 1

We've been to the pumpkin patch. We've been to the Arboretum. We've had friends over for a Halloween themed play day. We've done the pumpkin patch thing at school.
And we're still a week away from Halloween.

We started at a local pumpkin patch.

A few days later we ventured out to the Arboretum.

Next up: Halloween fun with friends. We had Ryan, Anna Lee, Henry, and Edie over for lots of activities. We painted pumpkins, baked cookies, decorated masks, etc. Here are Clare and Henry working on their masterpieces.


Last Thursday, I got to go with Clare to her school's pumpkin patch. All of the kids brought a decorated pumpkin to school to create the pumpkin patch. Clare was quite taken with this Elmo creation.


Next week we have even more festivities: Fall Festival at church, Halloween party at school, and let us not forget actual trick-or-treating!
