Haunted Houses and the Pumpkin Patch

Last week we got together with our friends Ryan and Chalan and did spooky ginger bread houses. We have done this before and Grace begged to do it again. It was lots of fun so I said yes. The kids picked the design off the box that they wanted to do and I am a little OCD so we did our best to recreate it. I should have taken a picture of the cobwebs on the roof because I did a fantastic job. Grace placed all the candy and she copied the picture super close. It turned out fantastic. Our little thief in the house has since eaten the candy corn fence, I guess I should not put candy where she can reach it, because why would you use candy for decorating not eating, right?!

Our super cute house.

On Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch with Ryan and Chalan. They had a little petting zoo, a hay arch you can climb, a hay ride, a hay maze and a big corn pit to play int. The kids had a blast and the best part was it was free, except for the purchase of the pumpkins of course. Our family on the hay ride.

The kids with their pumpkins. Blake had to get one with no dirt on it and Graces had to be perfect. lucky for us they both found one that fit their guidelines.
