our family friday fun

we had a family fun weekend. it was very fall-ish for us.

here is a glimpse into our fun friday night. (more to come on our festive saturday)

first, we went to a little pumpkin patch at the church down the street from us. we have been getting pumpkins from here since caroline was 3. so it's tradition.

our fun did not stop there. the girls and i attempted to actually carve a pumpkin. i have never done this before. caroline carved one for the first time with her grandpa last year but this was our first time to do it ourselves. and i must say two things... pumpkin guts are gross and carving a pumpkin isn't so tough with a stencil. i think you can actually tell it is a ghost in our jack-o-lantern.

dare i say we did more after that! we proceeded to have a lovely fire and hot chocolate with marshmallows. yummy! it was such a laid-back kind of fun night. i think the girls really enjoyed themselves.

and now for the proof that fun was had by all!

pirates! arrghh!




 hadley's smile cracks me up here



caroline's legs are so long!







see...it's a ghost!



(hadley doesn't look like she was participating in family fun here, but i promise she was!)

pumpkins

we took the girls to our annual pumpkin patch trip, which is just at a methodist church up the street from us. their earnings go to their teen youth group, so i like to think of us as supporters of a local cause! we have been taking caroline to this mini pumpkin patch since she was 2 and now hadley gets to enjoy it too. though i am not sure you'd actually say she enjoyed it when she hasn't a clue what a pumpkin is.






caroline loves holding hadley. this picture makes me laugh as i am pretty sure hads is trying to squirm away but caroline just keeps smiling and gripping!
