Madison and Riley's Halloween pumpkins

The girls will dress up as Shimmer and Shine for Halloween. When I asked Madison what kind of pumpkin she wanted to do, she said she wanted to paint them as Shimmer and Shine. Last year, we painted hers like Elsa and Riley's like Minnie Mouse so I was excited she didn't want to carve them!

They painted the hair and the face and I filled in the details

Pumpkin Farm fun

Madison's preschool class took a trip to the pumpkin patch today. She had a really good time! She even let me take her pictures without fussing!

I am in love with this picture. Those blueberry eyes. Those glasses. Those freckles.

She even fed the cows!

I told her to squat by the pumpkins.... ;)

She loved the pile of tires.

I realize I'm stretching out Halloween 2 days passed the real Holiday. I meant to add these to Madison's costume post but I forgot. 

I also failed to take a picture of Alan's pumpkin before it got all mushy and started falling in so it doesn't look much like it did when he first carved it but here it is:

Can you tell it's Patrick from Spongebob?

Maybe this will help.. Here's the stenciL :)

 This is Madison's. I had planned on doing a Spongebob stencil for her but we kept putting it off and I didn't carve this one until the night before Halloween so she's lucky it got carved at all :)

This is my Spongebob pumpkin.

I loved having the pumpkins on the porch... Madison really loved pointing to them and going "p p p p" (smacking her lips together).. When I first sat them out there, I told her they were "Pumpkins" and she said "B" (everything is the B noise) and I said "Not "B" but P P P P (making the P noise)" and from that time on they were always "p p p p" .. so cute :)

Happy Halloween...

...from our beautiful butterfly!

Wilma's happy it's Halloween :)

 

 

This is what she kept pointing at.. 2 tractors bailing hay in the field across the road.. Reason 38923 I love the country. Something peaceful about hearing tractors all day.

 
A visit to Nimmie's. She was dressed as a nerd for school- not her typical outfit :)

Nimmie got her a treat since she's too small for candy

Baby Einstein books!

Baby sized!

Look how tiny she was last year! Time flies!
