PUMPKIN PATCH!

It is amazing what you can find in your closet...
I am dressing up as a scarecrow this year since we are going as the Wizard of Oz family and I managed to throw this costume together in an afternoon for only $3.00
It turned out so cute I may have to wear it again next year, especially for that price!

This past weekend included so much fun! We took the girls to a nearby pumpkin patch where they got to take a hayride out to a field and pick out their very own pumpkin. Who knew there would be so many choices.

The girls had to pick a pumpkin that they could carry and then afterwards we got to
go back to the farm and pet the pigs and the sheep. Izzie slept the whole time of course, but for the most part we all really enjoyed it and the fall weather was perfect...

Then for FHE we let the girls pick whether they wanted to paint the pumpkins or carve the pumpkins. Of course they choose to paint them. Zack and I were thrilled over that choice because it was way less work on our part. Usually we end up carving half of it for them and so this way they pretty much got to do it all by themselves. They turned out very colorful!
On top of all the weekend fun Izzie finally rolled over for the first time. It was so cute. We all watched her do it twice in a row. 5 months and now rolling!

My cousin Lindsay came and stayed with us for a night because she was on her way to Oregon. The girls absolutely adore her. A big thanks to her for helping me improve my blog and for the yummy slice of cheesecake that she brought me from a fancy downtown restaurant.
