Spooky Fun

This week was Addie's Pre-school Halloween Party. I volunteered to put together one of the games. We had fun decorating cookies, playing candy corn bingo, pumpkin bowling, a bean bag toss and treat or treating. The kids looked great in there costumes...and of course Addie is the cutest Minnie Mouse ever. Thank heavens the costume still fits and she wanted to be the samething as last year. Jake had a blast as well. He loved the kid sized sinks and spent most of his time standing on the stool playing in the soap bubbles left by the previous hand washer. He also has a new found love of Candy Corn.

We carved our pumpkins that same night and found out that Jake likes to munch on pumpkin seeds and then spit them out...too funny.

Pics from my latest Opera....I will try and post some pics from our performances as soon as Utah Opera posts them...or at least a link to them. This is the first show that I haven't had a wig!! Yippeee....it makes getting out of the theatre soooooo much faster...and it is fun to have my hair done every night by our fab wig and make-up people. Our reviews have been great.

A Week of Perfectly, Pumply, Dumply, Pumpkins

Last week, was the week of pumpkins. Addie had a preschool field trip to the Black Island Farm Pumpkin patch and corn maze. We had so much fun taking our Hayride around the farm and learning about all the things they grow there. Addie was so excitied to not only pick the perfect pumpkin, but a great carrot and onion as well. The farm also has a wonderful courtyard full of activities a pumpkin bounce house, potatoe sack slides, cow train, and pig races. Addie and Jake were very mad at mom when it was time to go.

Our Second pumpkin patch was at J&J Garden Center. Every year they give out free tickets to get a fun hayride and free pumpkin. Addie was so excitied to get to go to another Pumpkin Patch and Jake love watching the big wheels on the tractor. We can't wait to make Jack-o-lanterns out of our little orange friends.
