PAINTED PUMPKINS

Christina, mommy to Bella and Brogan, sent me a few pictures to share.  I had forgotten to photograph the pumpkins I painted for Brogan and Bella!  She was kind enough to do that for me!

These are the big pumpkins...

and these are the little pumpkins. The green one on the left side was the one Brogan painted.

Here is Nana Rose assisting Brogan in his painting.  I squeezed the paint into the tray!

Here Brogan poses on a huge pumpkin (he would have brought it home if we could have lifted it!).  

Love the sunflower backdrop!

And last but definitely not least is little Bella in the shirt Nana Rose gave her!

What a cutie!!

PUMPKIN PATCH FUN

A week ago I got to tag along with Brogan, Bella and family to go to a pumpkin patch.  They had a few fun attractions for the little tikes and a small petting zoo (though a sign warned to watch out for the chicken and rooster--they peck!).   Brogan was in awe of the animals.

Brogan also enjoyed the various rides they offered.  I must tell you, he has no fear!

He slid down the inflatable slide, swung on the twirling swings, and smiled and laughed.

Then Brogan painted his own pumpkin.  I think this was his first experience painting something.   Between Grandma Sue and Nana Rose I am sure there will be more painting experiences in his future.

 They had a wall where people could put their faces into the holes to become the Halloween characters.  Bella became a smiling black cat and Brogan was a mummy, though he thought I said mommy and said, "there's my mommy!"

Then they switched and Brogan was a ghost while Bella became a bubbly pumpkin.

 Of course, Brogan had to strike a pose upon a bale of hay. What a heart breaker!

Brogan and Grandma Sue posed upon pumpkins.  I love the sunflowers in the background.

Then Sue posed with her daughter, Christina, and granddaughter, Bella.

We had an enjoyable time despite a bit of mud.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
