Pumpkin Festival!

Today I took the girls to the city museum's Stonewall Pumpkin Festival! So fun! So many pics to share of my cuties!

It took them about 30 min just to decide which pumpkin to pick! They are as indecisive as their mommy - oh, no! We took a tractor/wagon ride over to the other part of the museum to carve our pumpkins.

My wrist is soooo sore after carving three pumpkins! The girls were not much help, other than playing with the guts and separating out the seeds for roasting later.

Jessi's pumpkin has a big smile with lots of teeth...remind you of anyone?? :)

Megan chose a template with bats flying in the moonlight.

Katie chose a witch template. They all turned out so cute!

Then we lugged the pumpkins to the stone wall in front of the museum. Over 1000 pumpkins were carved today, placed on the stone wall, and lit with candles tonight. It's such a neat tradition. We didn't go back to see it, the traffic is horrendous. We'll drive by tomorrow morning to pick up our pumpkins and bring them home.

The festival had tons of other activities, games, etc. Here are the girls in a fire truck, they love getting to climb in and turn the steering wheel.

I managed to get a few cute pics of the girls with the beautiful fall colors!

Girls by Stoney Creek, the same one they waded/swam/played in this summer.

Jessi the pumpkin bowler!

Girls with crazy hats (their own creations). What a fun day! We were there for four hours and had a BLAST.

Then we hustled off to Katie's soccer game and then Megan's soccer game. Here's Katie's team, it was the first time all nine kids were at a game, so we took a team picture. Katie was great today, much more aggressive than usual. She ALMOST got a goal, only off by about 6"! Megan's game was hilarious per usual. She scored four goals, but remember there are no goalies in her level. She is fast and already has a pretty good understanding of the game. And look out for Jessica, she is going to be good! She can dribble like a pro already, with all the time she spends on the sidelines at her sister's practices and games!
