Back on October 15th, my sister, Kat, was married to Garrett...what a beautiful wedding it was! The ceremony was my absolute favorite part of the entire day - here are a few pictures from the day!
The kids were both sick the last few weeks...Bradlee started the weekend of the wedding and was home from school the week following...then it was Emma's turn, she was off of school last week! Now they're feeling better and we went on a field trip with Emma's Daisy troop today to the Indian Springs Nature Center. It was pretty neat, and each of the kids got to collect leaves on their nature walks and make a leaf book. Bradlee had a great time collecting leaves (and sticks, and acorns...) and Emma had a great time just being back to normal and with her friends!
After the nature hike, Tony and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch to (finally!) get their pumpkins for Halloween! We tried out a new one we learned about and even though it's the day before Halloween, they still had quite a few decent pumpkins to choose from! It's also the last day they were open for the season, so we got the last batch of cinnamon donuts! :)
When we got out of the car, I noticed Emma was drawing in the dirt on the van (there are a lot of dirt roads on the way to and from school each day!)!! I was about to get after her for getting all dirty...until I saw what it was she was drawing on the side of the car...how could I get mad at her for this???
We got home and immediately started carving the pumpkins! Bradlee was okay washing off the outside of the pumpkin, but wanted nothing to do with touching the "guts"...so he enjoyed his donut while Emma and I worked on the pumpkins...Emma was so proud of herself for using the little knives to cut out her own design!!
Here are the finished products...I used Bradlee's pajamas for inspiration for his pumpkin!
