Pickin’ Halloween Pumpkins

Yippee! This afternoon we took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch to find pumpkins that were "just right" for celebrating HALLOWEEN! The weather was gorgeous - cool and breezy, perfect for our trip to the patch.

Wayne and I had so much fun watching Charlotte “discover” the pumpkins. The few times she did “stop for a minute” she really liked feeling the different textures of each pumpkin. Charlotte would just give a big smile and yell “Pun-KIN” the off to the next adventure! She was also drawn to the tiny pumpkins and tried to pick up as many as she could at one time. Charlotte was not successful but it was so cute to watch her screw up her face in concentration.

This year it took us FOREVER to pick our pumpkins – I think we underestimated how hard it would be to corral a toddler AND pick/carry around three heavy pumpkins. Next year we will bring our wagon!

Congratulations Doug and Brittany

Congratulations to our friends Doug and Brittany – don’t they make a cute couple. They got married today! Sorry we couldn’t be there to celebrate with you!

Wayne's Yummy Dinner

Check out what Wayne made for dinner…chicken stuffed with feta cheese, bacon and spinach…with a Fettuccini Alfredo. Smelled so good I couldn't wait to have a bite, tasted yummy too!

M&M: OMA Mom Art

Today Charlotte and I went to the Orlando Museum of Art for a photography seminar and tour.  This is the second year we have attended this class and I just LOVE the professional photos they take.

After class Tracy, Julie and I took the girls to Chick-fil-A for lunch.  Their favorite part?  Exploring the play area together!!!

 

Sunday Afternoon At The Playground

This afternoon Wayne and I decided to take Charlotte and the dogs on a short walk over to the elementary school playground in our neighborhood. Once we got to the play area we let the dogs loose to run around, which they did until they were so tired we were not sure they’d make it home. Ramie and Valyn spent the rest of our visit rolling around in the sand. Charlotte loved climbing up the rock wall – in fact Wayne climbed with her as a “spotter” but she did all the work herself – the little monkey! She also liked the three slides which had different textures so that each one was either bumpy, super fast or slow. What a great way to spend the afternoon!
