On Sunday the 19th we had a “Baby Party” for Michaela.  We didn’t have a baby shower for her when I was pregnant with because we didn’t know if she was a boy or a girl.  Either way we didn’t need baby stuff since we already had everything from when Felicity was a baby, but if Michaela would have been a boy we would have needed boy clothes.  So, we decided not to  have anything until after she was born to see what gender the baby would be.  Since she was a girl, we needed nothing for her, but we eventually decided that she and her new life needed to be celebrated, hence the baby party.  We had it at the park next to our house.  It was a beautiful day, a little on the warm side, but beautiful none the less.  We had lots of friends and family there for the potluck BBQ.  It was so nice to be outside celebrate a special little girl!  Thanks to everybody who came for making it a nice day!!!  Here are some pictures of that day.

This past Saturday we went to a new (at least to us it was new) pumpkin patch in 3 points at a farm called Buckelew Farms.  They had wagons pulled by horses that took you out the pumpkin patch, they had a small petting zoo, and some activities for the kids.  They even had a corn field maze, but the girls are too little for that, maybe in a few years.  It was a nice day picking out our Halloween pumpkins and just hanging out.  This pumpkin patch was a lot closer than the one we usually go to, but it didn’t have the yummy apples like the other place!!  Here are the patch pictures.

Last night we carved those pumpkins that we picked out.  Felicity is turning into a little girly girl.  She didn’t like being out in the pumpkin patch because she was afraid of getting dirty.  So . . . she didn’t really like cleaning out the pumpkin because she didn’t want to get dirty.  She even took her dress off before she finally stuck her hand in the pumpkin!  Michaela thought the pumpkin guts were a little strange, but didn’t seem to mind.  Then she became more interested in the newspaper that the pumpkins were sitting on!  My job seems to be the cleaning and Randy’s seems to be the actual carving, but that’s okay, I like the pumpkin guts!  Here are the pictures of the carving fun!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
