Birthday party and painting pumpkins!

October 15, 2016
My friend, April, always throws really fun birthdays for her kids.  Her youngest turned 1 in October and they had a BBQ and a really cute clown come to entertain the kiddos.  Our girls loved it!  It's always so nice to be with their family :)
The weather was SO NICE!  It was perfect for being outside having a BBQ!

The girls could not wait for the clown to come and then didn't leave her side for a while after she got there.

Aurora ended up being first in line to get her face painted. Lucky kid!

Next it was Savy's turn.  She wanted a pumpkin for Halloween!

The clown did some balloon animals too but we forgot to get pictures of them.  It was a fun party!  Happy birthday, Gabe!

One fun thing about growing our own pumpkins is that there are always plenty of pumpkins for the kids to paint at Halloween time--something they always love and enjoy doing!
Savannah just getting started, and trying to paint left-handed :)

Aurora LOVES making artistic creations.  She knew exactly what she wanted to paint on her pumpkin

Talmage just got to watch this year, but he was perfectly content to just sit and watch!

We forgot to get a picture of all the finished products but our porch looked great with all the adorably painted pumpkins we had this year.  Great job, girls!
