Pumpkins!

We have been up to a lot since I posted last. We went to the pumpkin patch on Monday and had a blast. There was a bouncy castle and slide that Emma Kate LOVED! She really has no fear. I thought the slide was fast and she wanted to do it again and again all by herself. We have also been to the park with friends and played a lot at home. We hosted lunch/playgroup on Tuesday and had 11 kids at the house. It was so much fun having our friends over! Mason is growing up so fast. He has had his first real smiles and is holding his head up pretty well. Here are pictures and videos. I hope that I can post more frequently for you dedicated blog readers! Excited about the pumpkin patch
I am so glad that I was able to get their outfits finished in time for the trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a close call this time!

I found Ashton's old Halloween costume and Emma Kate loves it. In fact all the kids that come over to the house love it.

Her absolute favorite thing at the park is the slide!

too much to comment on! i can't believe how grown up mason already looks. and you made those outfits? how did you do the pumpkin thing at the top? that looks like smocking, but maybe you did it on your monogram machine. emma kate looks more and more like YOU. oh my goodness, she looks just like you! too adorable. and how on earth did you make that fabulous pumpkin cake? i'm so impressed with your domestic skills!
