Fall Is In The Air...

The temperatures are starting to get cooler out here (like 95 degrees or so! Haha) - but the early mornings and nights do feel much better (in the high 70's). Brynn is SO excited about Halloween. Every day we get asked, "is it Halloween night?!" She can't wait! As soon as she saw pumpkins in the store, we had to get them. So - let the Halloween decorating begin!

Painting our pumpkins. We'll tackle the carved ones after we visit the pumpkin patches!

What was I thinking letting Brooklyn go at it?! She was very interested in the paint and every time I looked away, I'd catch her licking her pumpkin. What is her deal?!

Brynn painted hers all blue - of course. At least she did the other half white!

She was having a blast until...

I took her pumpkin away! She started using her hands to wipe off all the paint and then she proceeded to paint herself! I cut her off at that point!

Our finished pumpkins - pretty cute!

Today we went to Home Depot to buy some mums and make our house look festive. Grammy had sent Brynn a watering can she found in the shed and ever since then she's been wanting to water flowers. Here they are using shovels to loosen up the dirt.

This picture just makes me laugh because Brooklyn was all about the dirt. Brynn, on the other hand, did not want to get a speck of dirt on her or her hands and we all know that was impossible with Brooklyn standing right next to her. As they got into it, Brooklyn was not able to keep the dirt in the pot and some was landing on Brynn and getting on her dress. She was very concerned. I guess I'll have to get her a pair of gardening gloves soon! It's so funny how different they are!

They both loved the watering part!

Here's the girl in charge of the dirt!

I love Brynn's face here. She's like, "what are you doing?!"

as Brooklyn pours the dirt on top of the flowers!

Nothing that a little (or a lot) of water couldn't fix! The girls had fun and that's all that matters. - and our house looks nicer too!
