pumpkin party

o attended her 1st of many halloween activities today. kd held a pumpkin party for local girl scout troops and alum's kids. the alumnae assoc helps with the event so i made the treat bags and loaded/unloaded 30 pumpkins in this october heat. i'm so glad to be a part of a chapter that loves to give back to the community through projects like these. i was helping a girl (upper elem / jr high age) and she had never carved a pumpkin. i got the lid cut out and off and told her to get after it and she looked at me and asked what she was suppose to do. i nearly cried.
rett brought olivia b/c it's his weekend with her. i'm glad he decided to bring her even though she only had an hour nap today and started getting pretty cranky towards the end! she had a blast painting her pumpkin, decorating her cookie (well, rett decorated it but she ate every bite), coloring and playing!
the cookie decorating table

  1. I love her pumpkin! The picture of her and Catherine looking at the cookie is too funny. Anniston would be lunging forward for that thing...she's a little aggressive when it comes to food! ha
