Painting Pumpkins

This year, we decided to paint our pumpkins rather than carve them. I think the kids enjoyed this just as much!

Sleeping Beauties

Because Gigi and Bubba were here visiting for the weekend, Reagan & Cooper got a special treat ~ they got to sleep in the same bed! Reagan loves to have a "live person, someone that can talk" sleep with her, so she loves it when we have visitors!!

This is how I found them this morning when I went to wake them!

Red Wolf Farms

After much anticipation (by me, not necessarily anyone else in the house), we took the kids to a pumpkin patch ~ for what I hope is an annual trip!! Note: tons of pictures to follow!! (pictures are small, but you can click on them to enlarge)

Cooper was all smiles
He was ready to pick his pumpkin
Waiting for the tractor ride~Reagan was 1st in line
Here comes the tractor

Cooper sat with Gigi and Bubba
Reagan sat with me and Greg
Partial family photo
Cooper led the way into the kiddie corn maze
Is this the right way?
I think they're lost!
This way...
Reagan found the way out
Cooper jumping for joy that he made it out
they must have gone through the corn maze a dozen times
They even went in by themselves
This is the best I could get of the two of them ~ they were too excited and wanted to explore
Family portrait
Gigi and Bubba were visiting for the weekend, so they got to come for all the fun!
Next, Reagan & Cooper got to "swim" in a vat of corn
Not sure about the corn between their toes




making corn angels
Cooper made corn angels too
Cooper tried out the slides


The pedal tractors were a big hit
getting a little help from Bubba

Reagan needed a little push from Daddy


Going for a new tractor

Let the races begin
What a good little brother ~ helping out his big sister
Now she's got it!
A little more help, please
Reagan returned the favor
Finally, it was time to pick out a pumpkin
Greg found his!
This one?
Maybe this one?
This one over here?
Cooper can't decide either
the search continues
Look how strong he is!
Reagan found the perfect pumpkin
This one is heavy!
I think he must have picked up every pumpkin on the farm

They were mesmerized by the tractor
Riding back to the bottom of the farm with our pumpkins in tow!
There were some animals on the farm too
Reagan even petted the chicken

Watching the goats
Petting the bunnies
Cooper loved watching the pigs
Reagan wanted to feed the pigs her cookies

Our loot from the farm ~ to be decorated later!
