Pumpkin Weekend

Friday night we went to the pumpkin patch for pictures and to get some pumpkins. We're going to carve one this year and we needed one for Blake to paint. Some friends were having a fall party on Saturday and the kiddos were going to be decorating pumpkins. Off to the patch we went, and as you can tell from the pictures, neither kid was too enthused! Blake has had some allergies or something lately and Easton was tired, so smiles were hard to come by! This is one of the best of them together.
Grandma came with us! (Papa was out of town) and we all went to dinner afterwards. Saturday was a low-key day - as I mentioned Easton has been having horrible nights so this momma is exhausted! - and then we walked to Greg, Tori and Geneva's house for the party. There were lots of 2 year olds and some older kids, but this time Blake was not too scared to jump in the bounce house, even when everybody was in there!!
Blake was so ready to paint! She was very careful painting up and down over and over. It was so funny to see how some of the kids painted, all over their body, or dabbing it, fast, slow, or on their neighbor's pumpkin... 2 year olds are funny! Here's how Blake's pumpkin turned out.
We also made pumpkin popsicles! No not pumpkin flavored, but pumpkin shaped... Blake wanted to use Kool-Aid, so that's what we did. They were delicious and Blake was a great helper making them!
I'll post about our carved pumpkin experience after we do that, closer to Halloween...
