Monday, the girls and I went to the Pumpkin Patch. We picked the absolute perfect day to go! We had the entire place practically to ourselves! No school field trips, no big crowds of families with whiney babies. Just us and a few others. We even got discounted admission to the inflatable park which was good since it didn't take the girls long to get bored with that. And the weather was just beautiful. We took our hayride, picked out our pumpkins, looked around the giftshop, had a funnel cake and then we were on our way home. We spent more time at the courthouse! LOL
Here are some pictures:
Tuesday we made Halloween cookies for the dance parties and carved our pumpkins:
The girls and their dance teachers:
On Wednesday, we went to Mom's for a Halloween party with her daycare kids:
The girls did a Halloween puppet show:
We played some games and had treats. This is my mom's dog, Maggie:
That night we went trick-or-treating and hit a few church festivals. Then we set our pumpkins outside:
Thursday was play practice, violin and track practice in addition to all our usual Thursday stuff. We remembered at the last minute we were supposed to do Children's Theatre so we high-tailed it downtown in time to get caught up in all the Christmas Village traffic! We couldn't find a place to park so we went to the Art Museum instead.
We found an antique vanity desk at a yard sale in Moody and we took it home, refinished it and put it in the girls' room. They just love it! I had one just like it when I was a litle girl.
Friday was co-op and then the girls wanted to go shopping for some items to keep in their vanity.
Saturday morning was Brooke's track meet and I am so proud of her! She ran her course (3k-nearly 2 miles, I can't even WALK 2 miles!) in 18 minutes 16 seconds. She placed 2nd and is currently thinking about doing the State meet.
Crossing the finish line:
With her awards:
Afterward we went to mom's for the Alabama/LSU game.
Today, Jeff and I celebrate 18 years of marriage!
What I'm reading
I can never get enough of Lisa! Her stories inspire me to be a better mom and to look toward the eternal and not just the everyday. I highly recommend any and all of her books!
Blessings for a great week!
