Pumpkin Festival

Bracken and I went to the Pumpkin Festival this morning with our friends Melissa and Jairus. The boys had so much fun! They painted pumpkins, went pumpkin bowling, decorated pumpkin cookies, tried to eat donuts from a string, spit pumpkin seeds (Bracken thought this was great. He was like, "Really mom, it's okay to spit right now? You're always telling me not to.), jumped in a bouncy house and had to be pulled out when their turn was over because they were having so much fun, got little kits to make a wooden helicopter and boat and more! It was totally worth $5.

Bracken and Jairus are so lucky to have each other for friends. They love to get out of the house and run, play throw rocks, chase balls, and jump in mud puddles together. It works out great for me too, because I get to hang out with Melissa at the same time.

On the left: It didn't take Bracken long to just grab his donut. The lady the string off for him and he carried it around for 45 minutes just licking the sugar off. When he finally figured out he could actually eat his donut, it quickly disappeared.
