The princess and the pumpkin


So I know that in our house we have been in Halloween mode since early September when Sophia discovered she loved all of these Halloween books at the library. Now it is a huge focus. We have been doing several Halloween crafts at home.

The latest was last night when she used a present given to her by her Aunt Sarah, Uncle Nate, and Abby. They gave her this kit like a Mrs. Potato Head to decorate a pumpkin with princess gear.

I got Sophia a craft pumpkin thinking all we needed to do was poke the items through. Well, not so much. We had to use the drill to actually put holes in first and then poke the things through.

It was quite the adventure, but she just loved the finished product. She was hugging and kissing the pumpkin last night.

The rest of the week will be quite busy. With Hal traveling, and every possible school event happening at night this week, Sophia has been quite the trooper. Tonight I have to work at the Y and she will play in Kidstuff while I work. Tomorrow night she is staying with my parents as I have extended day at school and an open house. Friday we finally get to spend some quality time together. We are headed out to celebrate the U of M homecoming with a bbq and a parade. Should be a great time!

Wish us luck with the rest of our busy, busy week!
