The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today:



We met up with some of K's buddies!


 
To the top he goes...





Time to find some pumpkins!



There was a very nice climbing tree in the middle of the pumpkin patch!




The crew!
There were 4 munchkins seconds before this picture was taken...
he made a fast escape....


Time for a train ride!



There they go....


There he is!!!


We picked out one pumpkin already & Daddy took it to the car.
We decided to get two more!
 
The boys played hide and seek in the maze.


It entered triple digits today! It was crazy HOT! I was thinking about pictures when I dressed K today, and not the weather. I wish I would have listened to his Daddy and put him in shorts! Here are the boys taking a break in the shade!

Feeding the animals.



T's Mommy made Halloween treats for all the boys.
Inside the treat were these Dracula teeth! K loves them!
 
Here are our pumpkins!
 
We came home and made lunch.
K helped me pepper our chicken sandwiches!

After lunch Daddy took a nap, then we went to pick up some fire wood to stalk our wood pile.
When we returned home we went for a walk. It was Makena's first walk.

Go baby Go!



It was a fun day!

Crazy Game Day & Pumpkin Rice Crispy Treats

It was crazy game day here today~

Daddy cut the sleeves off of one of his shirts, and my boys decided to put the sleeves on their heads while watching the SF baseball game!
K wanted the sleeve to be turned into a ghost mask, and then he decided to add his goggles!
Nice costume son! Lol, he's so stinking cute!

We are meeting K's buddies at the pumpkin patch tomorrow, and I wanted to try and make them a treat. I decided to try pumpkin rice crispy treats.

I found a picture of these on Pinterest and thought they looked really cute. I added orange food coloring to the melted marshmallows.
The trick to forming the pumpkin shape is to wait until they cool off. I tried to form them into a ball while they were still warm, and ended up wasting a lot of the batch that way.
I also cut tootsie roll candies in half and added them to the top of the pumpkin.

Then I used black frosting to create a smile on their faces.

Again, wait for the frosting to dry before putting into a bag! I was in a hurry, and not very patient with these treats. But, now I know for next time. I will also get green frosting next time to add a leaf to the top! I like how they turned out! A little unexpected treat for some sweet little munchkins!

Shaving Kit

I ordered another shaving kit for K since his last one broke. I intend on getting a picture of him and his father shaving together before K gets any older. Here is K practicing his shaving:

He loves his shaving kit! He has been asking for another one ever since his last one broke about 6 months ago.






Breaking Eggs all by himself

My son told me he is old enough to crack eggs all by himself:

And he is. He cracks his own eggs now.

He wants to have eggs for every meal! He made himself scrambled eggs four times this week, and only once was there a small piece of shell that fell into the eggs. Ugh....he's getting older....I don't want him to get older yet....
