Pumpkin!

We enjoyed some pretty Fall weather (although a bit cool) yesterday by taking a nice long walk in our neighborhood. The boys were entertained by looking for pumpkins on the front porches and shouting, "Pumpkin!" This morning we met some mommy-friends at a Starbucks that used to be in a bank. We actually reserved the "vault" as a private room which was great with the kids and fun for the mommies! It was a "Grande" morning and I'm hoping Dean gets home early enough so I can go to the gym to help those calories off my person. (Zack's got a pretty yucky runny nose right now, or else I'd leave them in the child care there.) Fortified by my coffee break, we came home and did a special project - finger-painting pumpkin pictures. It took longer for set-up and clean-up then the actual painting, but the boys loved it! Zack also did some face-painting and hair-painting (rubbed the picture on his face and head when he was done with the "finger" portion of the artwork). There's no picture of that b/c I was busy grabbing the painting out of his hands! Well, I'm off to fix dinner - meatloaf and mashed potatoes and some after-thought veggie (I'm terrible with the veggies).

PS Thanks to Campbell's mommy and daddy for sending the cute pumpkin greeting - we all loved it!
