Pumpkin Patch, Shower, and Halloween Party

A couple of weeks ago we headed out to the pumpkin patch in Mayflower. Gracie had a great time! Here we are on the hay ride. Gracie and Kekoa explore the patch.

Daddy found us the perfect pumpkin!







We went with Matt, Iris, Kekoa, and Josh, Rebecca, Jacob, and Haven. Fun times with good friends!



This farm also had a little zoo. Gracie loved the ducks, and wanted to climb in the cages.



Last week, Beth, Jill, Lori, and April threw me a shower at Canon Grill. Baby boy Glasgow got some cute, cute clothes, blankets, and diapers! This was such a special girl time. I know there are not too many people who can say they are still friends with people all the way back to elementary and jr. high school. We all grew up together and went to college together as well, so we have a special bond!



And on Friday Gracie went to her first Halloween party! My brave girlfriend Mandy from Moms and More had 15 kiddos over to her house! That's 15 kids and about 12 moms! It was a houseful, but she graciously cooked grilled cheese and potato soup for us all, as well as let the kids play with all of Noah's toys and even had a craft and costume contest! Here's my little pumpkin.

Gracie loved Ruthie the duck most of all.



Grace loved the toy horse.

What a cute table! And delicious treats!



Grace also loved this oversized dog. Her costume didn't last too long, so we all decided she was a ninja instead.
Gracie also loved this car. It's funny how she finds just a few things and wants to play with them over and over.

And here's the winner of the costume contest...Little Indian Annette!Believe it or not, the kids sat still for several minutes while we snapped photos, all the while singing "Old MacDonald had a Farm." They are just precious! Mine didn't turn out too well, but if you visit my facebook page, several other girls have added their shots.
What a fun fall it has been so far!

I really missed not going to the pumpkin patch this year! I found one here in NWA that is very similar to the one in Mayflower & I am kicking myself for not going. Next year for sure!!!! GREAT PICS! :-)
