Fall Activities

We had a busy week this last week. This year my dad and David grew awesome gardens. My dad decided he wanted to grow pumpkins for the grandkids. We soon discovered that one pumpkin was taking all the nutrients from the other pumpkins. Lots of pumpkins would grow to be about 3 inches and then all of a sudden start dying. Except one! We picked this pumpkin last Sunday and it was huge and so heavy! In height it was just a little smaller than Logan, but weighed more than twice as much! 55 lbs!!

Then on Thursday we went to Emily's school for their Halloween party. We have been putting Logan's costume on him once a week for the last two months to try to get him to not cry when he would wear it. It paid off. He wore it the whole time and didn't cry once. We had lots of fun. Layne was there too and Logan was like his little puppy dog. Their favorite thing to do was the ghost/pumpkin bowling. They also made witch hands out of popcorn and played ring toss with a big spider. It was lots of fun. Thank you for letting us come Emily!

Then on Friday we went to a carnival at a local farm. It was a lot of fun. They had hay rides and a bounce house, vendors, face painting, and games. I really wanted Logan to get his face painted because we had never done it before. I planned on it being his turn and him freaking out and not doing it. But that didn't happen. He sat so still and did awesome! And to make it better right before I was about to give her our tickets we won a raffle and got free face painting. Then we went on the hay ride around the farm and Logan did awesome on that too. We then played some games and all the kids went on the bounce house. Including Logan. Again I expected him to go in and scream. But he didn't. He loved it. This kid is sure growing up and doing a lot that he never would before. He is at the best stage right now!! We had a very fall festive week and it was so much fun!!
