This past Thursday we took the girls to the pumpkin patch. We went to the same one that we've been to since Emma was born. The girls loved going around and looking at all the pumpkins. Ryleigh mostly loved walking on the hay and picking it up. If we gave her a pumpkin to look at, she would put it back and then clap for herself. She thought that we wanted her to put it where it goes. Poor thing didn't realize she could have it. Emma had a really hard time picking out a pumpkin. It seemed as though she couldn't find the right one. So we finally just had to pick up one and say "Emma, let's take this one home." We ended up with 3 little pumpkins (that I'm going to let them paint tomorrow).
Today was a pretty fun day too. After nap time we headed up to Stokesdale to spend the day with my family. We went to Autumn's neighborhood where they were having a little Halloween get together. There were snacks, face painting, a pumpkin decorating contest, and a hay ride. We didn't stay there too long but afterwards we went back to my mom and dads house to start the bonfire. Every year for Halloween we have a bonfire and fix hotdogs and s'mores. Whenever Halloween is during the week we do it on the weekend so that we have more time. I love when we do the bonfire but it's a little difficult keeping small children away from the fire.
My mom brought out the ball hoppers (which the girls LOVE) and Ryleigh laughed everytime they bounced up and down. When Emma got off hers, Ryleigh tried so hard to climb on it and bounce. Autumn put her on it and helped her and Ryleigh was so excited. I am so glad I caught these pictures. Her face is priceless!
The girls were so funny with their sticky s'mores. It took me about 10 wipes to get them all cleaned up.
We had such a great day. I am so exited to dress them up tomorrow evening and go trick or treating.
Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
