My Pretty Fairies

Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we went to the Bellevue Berry Farm and Pumpkin Patch.  The girls' Aunt Maggie was in town on fall break from college, so we took her and her friend, Barb with us.  Fiona was loving the giant playground area.  They had tire swings shaped like horses.

 Callie loves it when Mommy carries her around in the Moby.  She's just happy as a clam to watch her big sister tear around.

 Anything that remotely resembles a sphere is a ball according to Fi.  Pumpkins fall in that category, so naturally, we heard a lot of the word "ball".

I tried to get a cute picture of the girls, but my photography assistant (ahem, Nathan) was not quite quick enough.  Out of about 100 pictures this one turned out okay.

I made Nathan take this picture with me. I thought it was funny.

 

 Fiona wanted to pick up each and every pumpkin we came across in the pumpkin field.  She decided this one was too heavy.

So she found one more her size. 

 Fi loves her Aunt "Nangi".

 She was less than impressed with the hay rack ride.  She did like picking out pieces of straw out of the bales and throwing them one at a time off the side though.

 A pretty good family photo :)

Wish my hair hadn't been in Calina's face because this is such a cute picture otherwise.

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch.  I can't wait to carve up our pumpkins.  I love fall :)

Practically Wordless Wednesday: Minnie Mouse

I was really happy with the way Fiona's Minnie Mouse costume turned out.  She looked very cute and I was incredibly surprised that she didn't mess with the ears at all.  Too bad she was not at all interested in smiling for any pictures (or even holding still).

 

Nathan was finally able to tickle her until she smiled, such a stinker .

Pumpkins are Yummy

I've been a total blog slacker the last week or so.  I had hoped to have a busy weekend and then have lots to blog about, but instead this happened.

Yes, that is snow and lots of it.  It was a pretty nice day outside on Friday, and we woke up Saturday morning to this.  It is not supposed to snow on October 10th.  That is way too early.  We had a trip to Valas' Pumpkin Patch with Nathan's work and some outdoor fall pictures scheduled.  As you can probably guess those things didn't happen.  We stayed snuggled up inside most of the weekend.

We did go over to our friends' house and carve pumpkins before the silly October snow.

 

Fiona's Daddy was happy to be on baby duty because he hates carving pumpkins.  He is not a fan of the pumpkin goo.

Fiona is not squeamish about gooey things though.  She dove right in and had a great time taking out the pumpkin guts (except for one small scare when we thought she got a seed in her mouth).

She even thought the pumpkins were quite tasty.  She kept licking them and trying to eat the pumpkin guts.

Looks like we might have to carve pumpkins again just because Fiona had such a great time.

Here are the finished products.
