Pumpkins All Around~October 2010

Sonny's Preschool Class got to go to a Pumpkin Patch for their field trip in October.  It was a really nice day...not too cold, not too hot & not raining. It was really fun!!  Sonny tried out the rope swings they had & then we got to go on a hayride to pick out our pumpkins. 
I always think it's so fun to go & see all the pumpkins & take pictures of them all. 
Anyway...it was really fun & I'm glad we got to go.

Here's Sonny on the rope swing.
I love all the different faces he makes.

Here's some pics of the hayride, the pumpkins we got to pick

& just pumpkins all around the patch.

Sonny's 4th Birthday~October 2010

WELL.............

Sonny's 4th Birthday was back in October 2010 (I know...slacker me) & we celebrated by having a "monster" theme & going to a nearby park.  I planned 2 games for the kids to play (water balloon toss & pin the eye on the ghost) & then we sang Happy Birthday & ate "monster" cupcakes & opened presents.  I'd have to say it was pretty fun.  The best of course was the water ballon toss.  My nephew Mason loved it sooo much...he just really liked tossing the balloons straight on the ground.  It was so funny.  The kids had fun & I also made them clean up the mess.  We had lots of fun & Sonny did too even though he had been sick off & on with a fever a few days before.  He had to leave the party early to go home because he didn't feel good at all but he made it through all the fun stuff & the rest of us just hung around & cleaned up til we wanted to leave.  I'm so glad that everyone was able to make it & join us for the festivities.  Here are a couple of collages of the days events.

Playing water balloon toss & catch & pin the eye on the ghost.

Singing Happy Birthday & opening gifts.

You can tell Sonny wasn't feeling well....poor guy....I finally took him to the dr

a few days later & he

had an ear infection.

Here's me posing with the awesome "MONSTER" cupcakes.

So fun & easy to make. I made strawberry cupcakes...that's what Sonny wanted...with

vanilla & chocolate frosting.

Used candy corns for the spikes & skittles for the eyes & some heavy

duty blue food coloring for the dots on the eyes which turned your mouth blue.

I totally didn't know it would do that but I didn't eat all the candy....only the top part of the

cupcake with the frosting.....THE BEST PART!!!!

Family & Friends.

Thanks everyone for making this a special day for Sonny!!

And thanks Hollie for all the pics!!

I'm always so busy I don't really get the shots I want.

Happy 4th Birthday Sonny !!!!
