Costume party...

Oct 30, 2013

Scarlett was invited to a costume party and LOVED every minute.  There were crafts and games and toys galore.  This costume party worked out great because Scarlett has 1 million costume ideas this year.  First she wanted to be Belle, then a mermaid, then a kitty, then a fairy, then the tooth fairy. I let her pick two, one for the party and one for trick or treating.  The only problem with the party was that Scarlett was very confused when the night didn't conclude with a bag full of candy.

Pinterest does it again...

Oct 29, 2013

Seriously, my love affair with all things within the category of pinterest toddler time waster continues.  Saw this hammock, had to give it a try and boy did it make Scarletts afternoon.  If you are looking for something to occupy your child and waste away the last afternoon hours of "are we going to make it till bedtime?", this is it.  Scarlett had a blast and I was able to cook dinner without over cooking anything.  Win, win.

Pumpkin carving...

Oct 24, 2013

We finally had a night at home with the whole family and decided to carve pumpkins.  Scarlett complained about the goopy insides and spent most of her time running in and out of the house to grab the jack-o-lantern stickers on the remaining pumpkins to use as stencils.   Heon joined in the fun and spent most of his time perplexed by the idea of carving a face into a bright orange fruit.  I spent most of my time skipping the scooping and sticking to a strict paint only method.  I am not a huge fan of pumpkin innards, they pretty much gross me out.

Pumpkin picking...

Oct 23, 2013

Last weekend we drove down to Fallbrook and did a little pumpkin hunting with Scarlett and her cousins.  I took Scarlett to the same pumpkin patch last year, and was surprised to see the previously empty weekday patch turned into Disneyland on a Saturday.  Regardless, the kids had fun searching for stamp filled mailboxes in the hay maze and piling into a 8 cart tractor for a ride around the corn fields.  Of course, picking out the perfect pumpkin is always fun, especially when there are cousins involved.
