Pumpkin Patch

We had a pretty quiet week last week. The weather was beautiful- in the 80s several days, so we had picnics outside and visited a pumpkin patch on Wednesday evening. There were lots of animals and activities for the girls, so they had a good time and we stayed until the place closed down for the night. On Thursday we carved our jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. The girls helped with cleaning them out and a little with the carving. However, Eva was not too impressed with the slimy insides and seeds- she actually gagged the only time she touched them! Shockingly, both girls wanted a jack-o-lantern of a puppy, so we got patterns and attempted to carve them. We forgot to take pictures of them, so we'll include some next week with the pics from Halloween. On Saturday, it really cooled off and has been raining ever since, so we weren't able to do much outside. We met some friends out for dinner at California Pizza Kitchen on Sat night and went to visit some dogs on Sunday (several Vizsla's- a breed that we had never seen but may be interested in if we decide to get a dog sometime soon). We haven't been up to too much this week, but Ella has her school Halloween party tomorrow (Wed) and then trick or treating tomorrow night. Hope everyone else has a fun and exciting Halloween!
