pumpkins

This year I finally got around to taking my kids to a pumpkin patch. It wasn't the most awesome patch in the world, but it was a good size for the kids. We got a hay ride, Hannah got her face painted, we saw some animals, and Clara spent the whole time going from gourd to gourd shouting "pumpkin!!!" excitedly at each and every one. Too funny. I also did a fall craft with the kids. This is huge. I kind of hate doing arts and crafts stuff, but it was really simple. I gave them each a pumpkin and some paint and let them go crazy. They both loved it, and Hannah was so mad when I had to take hers down to make way for Christmas decorations.

Grandpa!!!

My dad came to visit last summer for Hannah's birthday. We had lots of fun having him here. We went to the zoo, and his favorite animals- the flamingos- had just had a bunch of babies. Hannah thought that was super cool, and now every time we go we have to see if we can still tell which ones are the babies. We also went up to a super fun park in Grapevine to celebrate her birth with their cousin Emily. My girls love when Grandpa Larry comes to visit, and they were sad to see him go!

Such a creepy face. LOL

Holy cow, I'm a slacker!

I never even finished Hannah's birthday! Wow. Well, I guess we'll pick up there. For Hannah's birthday, we had some of her cousins over to our community pool to go swimming. I can't remember why the others didn't come, I think they were out of town or something. But it worked out well since we're only supposed to have, I think, 4 visitors at a time. The girls had tons of fun and, more importantly, got completely disgusting trying to eat the nasty frosting on the cupcakes. Good times!
