Decorating Pumpkins

Sophie supervises as Daddy punches holes in the pumpkins
Sophie with her pumpkins-a "diva" and a pirate
One of the surprises that Paw-paw Tom & Mimi brought Sophie were some "Potato Head" style decorating kits for pumpkins-a "diva" and a pirate kit. So, on Sunday afternoon, among other household projects, we decorated pumpkins. Actually, Matt did all of the work while the rest of us girls mostly supervised. It was a very non-messy way to decorate a pumpkin. When it gets a little closer to time, maybe we'll have to show Sophie the way we grew up carving pumpkins. =) Sophie loves her Potato Head stuff so she liked helping her daddy decorate the pumpkins. We were also glad to get several projects completed around our house thanks to Matt's parents. Thank you so much for your help!!

Down at Gentry Farm

Sophie playing with corn

On Friday afternoon, Paw-paw Tom & Mimi arrived from Virginia for a visit. It was really nice to spend the weekend with them. Saturday morning, we headed to Gentry Farm for our first visit. Sophie enjoyed seeing the farm animals, going on a hayride, playing in the kiddie area (they had a kiddie maze, slides, corn in troughs they could play with, etc), and picking out pumpkins. I just wish it had about 10-15 degrees cooler but it's a beautiful farm. As you can see, it has definitely become obvious that I'm pregnant (I'm about 24 weeks now).
