Our Little Pumpkin

We're back! Jon, Maddie and I have been sooooo busy. We moved into our new home (I'll post pics soon) 3 weeks ago and we're still trying to get settled in. We're renting at this time but it's something we can call our own. I can't believe it's Halloween already. Time sure does fly. Auntie Maxine came to visit us a couple of weeks ago and we took Madison to the pumpkin patch. We all had such a good time. Grandma Ruthann is having a kids pumpkin decorating contest at work and Maddie did an awesome job decorating her pumpkin. With mommy's help, we added a few other touches to this project. Below are a few pictures of my sweet little girl. She just melts my heart!!!


Maddie had so much fun doing this craft. For the most part, the graveyard kit was kid friendly with the exception of having to glue a few things. She sure did an awesome job!!!


We also did a haunted house made of ginger bread. She most definitely enjoyed licking the frosting and eating some of the candies that were meant to go on the house. I also suggested to Ruthann and Jon not to eat any candy off that house because Madison licked every piece of candy right before she put it on the house. I know- gross! But I wasn't going to tell her otherwise because it was her house and she she was able to do whatever she wanted.



Madison is decorating her pumpkin.



Here's Madison painting a pumpkin which is hanging on our front door. She is so proud of her pumpkin.

Our little sweetheart loves to ride horses.



After her pony rides, she began to show interest in the pumpkins. We also went through a corn maze, which she liked better that I thought she would.



Grandma Ruthann and Madison holding her perfect round pumpkin she picked all by herself. She also picked a nice big round pumpkin.


We ended up leaving the pumpkin patch with 3 pumpkins that Jon and I still have to carve before Friday. I'm not very good at carving but Jon on the other hand does a terrific job. We hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween! My next post will be about our new house.
