Painting Pumpkins

A couple of weekends ago, we got a visit from Meredith, Molly Katherine and Wes. They drove all the way from Texas to come to Sierra's (our other niece) 5th birthday party. We tried to spend as much time as we could with them while they were in MS. Sierra's birthday party was at Lazy Acres Plantation, which is a pumpkin patch/Christmas tree farm, close to our home. We had a lot of fun at the party, and eventually, I will get around to posting pictures from the party. We go every year and LOVE that place and this year they have made some big changes to the layout of the pumpkin patch and the activities that they provide. It was a blast and I think the kids had fun too! ha!

We went over to Brian's parent's house on Sunday and painted the pumpkins that we picked out at the pumpkin patch. What an artistic bunch we have! Molly Katherine decided to paint her's with stripes and then changed her mind and put her hand prints all over it. It looked pretty neat when her masterpiece was finished. Mackenlee saw what Molly Katherine was doing and did her own handprints on one side and a rainbow on the other. Logan was very meticulous and painted the stem ever so carefully, and then put dots all over his pumpkin While Wes painted stripes on his (I believe, he really wouldn't let me get a picture of him so this is the best one I got). All 4 of them were beautiful masterpieces that the kids were very proud of. Most of all, we really enjoyed visiting the the Texas Snowden's! Enjoy the pictures!
