Painting Pumpkins!

We had a great FHE before Halloween! We started the night off with decorating the pumpkins!

The kids painted their pumpkins! This is Leauna working on her masterpiece!

My "dear caught in the headlights" Lydia!

Reagan had a blast with the paint!

Ryland had fun mixing the colors together!

                                                      Daddy created a spider on his!

                                                   Even mommy got in on the fun!

We finished the night off by having a wonderful slice of homemade apple pie and vanilla ice cream!

Day 6

Today I am thankful to finally have internet access and a computer at home! Yahoo for getting my blog caught up!

Pumpkin Patch!

We were able to take the kids to the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago. We all had fun! This is Mommy and the girls! Lydia is the pig  and Leauna is the Sheep!

Daddy and the boys! Ryland is the pig and Reagan is the sheep! Not one of Ryans finer moments as he said!

 The kids all had a blast in the hay maze!

 One happy family!

Reagan

Ryland chose the smallest pumpkin, because he insisted on having one he could carry all by himself!
We had a great time playing and picking out pumpkins! Reagan was especially happy that we got to enjoy a hay ride pulled by the tractor!

Leauna and Lydia's Preschool Harvest Party!



Leaunas
I had the chance to go to the girls preschool harvest party! It was fun to see the girl with their class and be in their element for an afternoon! They made these bat hats! They also had a great time with their friends and it fun to meet some of the friends they have made in school!



Lydia playing on the playground!

They also had a game of pumpkin bowling! This is Lydia waiting in line.
