Catching up PART 2!

At the Pumpkin Patch!
















We always have the kids pick out the $1 pie pumpkins to paint at the patch and we buy our big carving pumpkins at Aldi when Halloween is closer.

Ashton's 11th Birthday!




























We played a game where we had to go around the room and write a story together. Each person took a turn writing a sentence in the story. This was the final product.




Then they played a Mummy game where they had to be still like a mummy as Josh walked around reciting ridiculous Egyptian-Themed jokes. If you laughed or moved, you were out!






They also played a balloon pop game I had made up. I played "King Tut" as they bopped a balloon around. When the music stopped, the one that last hit it had to pop the balloon. Inside the balloon, was a paper that either read something like, "You won a prize!" OR things like "Sit down like Sphinx." I wish I got pictures of it! It was really cute.

After, they played in the snow


For the rest of the evening, Ashton played his favorite - Fort Nite! and munched on party left overs.
