Busy Weekend!

Ceili got to spend an entire weekend with some of her favorite people - all of her aunties and uncles, cousins and of course, Nana and Papaw!! It is so nice when we are all able to get together at the same time - usually at least one of us is missing, but not this past weekend!! Ceili's Auntie Nawna & her family as well as her Auntie A all were able to come "home" for the weekend!! We started Saturday out with a trip to Ceili's gymnastics then headed off to the Pumpkin Patch at Watermans Orchard. We used to go there as little ones and pick strawberries, so it was pretty neat for all of us to go back and take our little ones there to pick out their pumpkins!! We were able to get a few pictures in before Ceili decided (as most 2 year olds do) to do exactly what her Nana and Mommy told her NOT to do...step in a huge rotten pumpkin! I turned around to find her with both feet (up to her ankles) stuck in rotten pumpkin...and she just said "Uh-oh! I need help!" So, needless to say, Ceili spent the rest of the trip to the Pumpkin Patch in her shirt, pull-up and crocs - what a look!!

And shortly after...
Once we had been home to relax for a bit and ate some chili and cornbread at our house, we headed out to Conner Prairie to go on the Headless Horseman Hayride. The kids had a great time - Ceili even wanted to go on the hayride again!! She was a little afraid of the "scary horse" and kept reminding us throughout the rest of the evening that we needed to watch out for the scary horse because he would get us!!
Stay tuned...pictures of our Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza coming soon!!!

The pictures are wonderful. I especially love the "after" rotten pumpkin picture. It didn't bother Ceili as much as it bothered mommie. Poor Mommie. It was great having all of our "kiddies" home. The weekend was perfect weather for hayrides and pumpkin picking. Dad and I had so much fun with all of you.

What a fun weekend! I am so glad we all got to be there. The last pic of Ceili laughing just melts my heart, as she always does.
