Pumpkin Patch

Before getting to our pumpkin patch outing, here's some other random photos I've collected over the past week...

We finished up one last 'pinterest' project to officially complete the Halloween decor for the year... Ghost feet!...

My cute hubby basically did this project on his own, painting the canvas board black, and picking out a frame, and we worked together to get the kids feet painted white and put in the right place on the board - We were going to put the kids names underneath their feet, but I knew my handwriting with a paint brush would be less than attractive... so now the kids like to try and name everyone's foot - we learned that Jake and Becca have the same size feet. :)

I've discovered that cheapo spider rings are handy when packaging up cookie gifts (October is definitely the only time of year I accept plastic spiders in my home - they almost look too real and I wouldn't want to find one of those in my sheets)...



Our AC has been giving us trouble off and on all summer long - thankfully we have two units, one of which works great, so when the other gives us trouble, we can still be in our house. But we are hoping that we've seen the last of the ac repair man (at least I'd love to not have any issues at all next summer... knock on wood!) now that we've had the faulty part found out and replaced. We were without ac in our downstairs for a few days while the repair was sorted out and completed, so we treated ourselves to a dinner out! After dinner we went out for ice cream...



I've been trying to take Jake to library storytime recently... he often wants to escape before it's over and find something else to do - but sometimes he really loves it, especially when they sing songs and get to move around...


We spent Friday afternoon at MacDonald's Ranch to visit the pumpkin patch. They also had a great petting zoo, pony rides, games, and hay rides and maze...






















October sure is fun and Halloween is almost here! I'm getting excited about costumes and all of us dressing up. We're doing Star Wars this year and I can't wait!
