Getting into the spirit of things

A few weeks ago Katelyn was invited to a bday party where the theme was Fancy Nancy and it was a tea party so this was her take on tea party attire.

Not one to be left out, Brody wanted in on the act. This was the hat the girl's got to make at the party.

Of course we all know that making carmel apples isn't quite the same if you don't have the proper accesorries on. Apparently shirts aren't required at this establishment.


So since fall break pretty much sucked eggs for us, what with broken arms, colds, ear infection and don't forget pink eye, we decided to take advantage of the cooling weather this evening and ran down to Schnepf farms for a little pumpkin festival to celebrate everyone feeling better, finally!

The train ride was enjoyed by all. Check out the celebrity in the back, lol.


The sunflowers were taller than both kids, but too muddy and too tempting to get Brody in on this pic.

Katelyn and Brody both had a good time playing in the pumpkin patch and they got their faces painted too. Unfortunately, as usual, Katelyn couldn't "do" Halloween like everyone else so the guy was sweet enough to paint a terrifingly beautiful butterfly on her cheek, Brody got a spider.

They have a few farm animals that you can pet and feed, hence the name Schnepf's farm? Brody wanted no part in that! I guess he wanted to be sure to keep all his fingers attached.

And of course we can't pass up a carousel without taking a ride. The boys were trying out their scary faces.

I found the kettle corn stand and was extremely content, we also found a fire pit where the kids could roast marshmallows. Not a one was sacrificed to the fire gods this time.

And then on the way out they suckered us into homemade pies. Apple, Carmel Apple or Pumpkin? Well it was a pumpkin festival after all, right?

OOOOhhhh Soooo Good!
