Halloween Fun

This weekend we did several different fall/Halloween activities. Sophia attended her second ever birthday party on Saturday. It was for a little neighbor girl who turned 4. The party was at a pumpkin patch in Stillwater, MN. It was quite the chaotic place with it being the weekend before Halloween and the weather being nice. The kids got to pick out their own pumpkins and then decorate them with some paints. Sophia just loved this activity and really got into the painting.

After decorating pumpkins they went to this area and had a silly string war. Sophia didn't really want to do this so she watched. She was the youngest and smallest child at the party so it was a good idea that she chose just to watch.

After the silly string war, they got the kids all together for a group picture.


After the photo, we headed home and got ready for our next event. The Monster Mash was a 3M sponsored event at Tartan Park in Lake Elmo. Sophia was very excited about this and I was surprised at how well she was doing without having a nap. At the Monster Mash she played some games, went trick-or-treating, went on a hay ride, and decorated a cookie.

Yesterday we had Hal's parents over for a bbq lunch. It almost felt like summer with grilling and having a fruit salad, but the weather was a quick reminder that summer is gone.

After they left we got some work/laundry done around the house and we all crashed. I think we had so much excitement on Saturday we were all tuckered out last night. We hung out around the house and didn't do too much. This week will be busy as always. Tonight Sophia gets to wear her Halloween costume to dance. Should be quite a treat!
