Pumpkin Creating/Carving, Pnut Festival Fun

 The 3rd grade does a pumpkin competition every year.  Heidi has been looking forward to it since about the 1st grade and we have had many conversations about what she wanted to do over the past couple years.  I wanted to make sure it was her project and not mine.  So all of the ideas were all hers.  They could only use 1 pumpkin and it couldn't be carved :)!!  She decided on a butterfly... and although she didn't place, she had a lot of fun making it.

 

 Unfortunately, the ball we had gotten for the middle section of the butterfly wouldn't stick.  We tried for a couple days to get it to stay on.  So it had to be a 2 sectioned butterfly :)!  I did paint the face, and Kyle helped to assemble it.  Other than that, it was all her :)!!

She created this on my phone.  I thought it was cute because Kman was in the background on the one :)!

 Now to think about Karter's pumpkin :)!! Thankfully we have a few years.  

We ate supper with Kyle's Uncle Randy and Aunt Angela for his Uncle Randy's birthday... the kids had a lot of fun getting their Halloween treats and Aunt Ang got them all crafty things to make Halloween cards with. 

 .... and then it was pumpkin carving time......

 They each drew their own faces and we helped them carve them out. 

(excuse the sad pot that needs redoing in the background)

 We also went to the Peanut Festival last week.  We hadn't been since Heidi was little.  We had a BLAST!  We were so glad that Trey was able to go with us.....

It didn't bother Sophie one bit to ride with complete strangers.

Sophie couldn't ride the ride in the next picture, so while we waited we took a selfie :)

 Now before we know it it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas.... OH MY!!!
