First, I wanted to share a few pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago. We actually went as a celebration of Nieem's birthday, since we had to miss his actual party due to baseball related activities (Another thing I never wrapped up on the blog...maybe some day.) But we had a GREAT day today at the pumpkin patch, so all was right with the world. Here are a few pictures of the fun.
And usually this would be it's own post, but you know... running out of October, SO, let me also tell you about my cousin's adorable Halloween party she had for the kids today! She had them make Halloween themed food, Boo helped them made a craft, I helped them learn science! (nerd!) and the grandma's came with presents. It was WONDERFUL. Really, I was looking forward to it, but it was even more enjoyable than I expected. The kids had a blast, and so did we :) Pictures? Pictures!
The kids with their skull glasses full of vampire blood drink... it was... delicious

Mom and Jan! How adorable are they?The kids opening their Halloween baskets, which are totally a thing when you have grandparents like these kids :)
Wes really loved the items in his basket :)
Teeth!
And on to the science experiment. Making your own lava lamp and learn about density!
Honestly, we all rather enjoyed it...
Can you tell??
Actually, I thought they would love watching the "lava" slowly come up and drop back down, but they mainly wanted volcanic eruptions. So... less about density, more about chemical reactions. Lessons to keep in mind for next year.

On to making their craft!

And this one should be back up there with the science experiment, but I will just leave it here because it makes me laugh
Good times, family! Let's do it again next year :)
