Pumpkins and Fall Festivals

After uploading all the pictures to the blog, I realize I put them in reverse chronological order! Oops! I'm sure it doesn't matter.... Anyway, last weekend Gabriel and I carved a pumpkin for the first time. He seemed more interested in playing with the cut out top of the pumpkin than digging inside.
Here is what we ended up with. I had to throw it out Thursday because the heat really got to it. It was gross!!!
We also went to the Parkland Fall Festival. They had puppy adoptions. No, we didn't get one. But Gabriel loves dogs...he always grabs their nose!
He was so into the picture of the dog on this sign and even kised the dog on the sign.
The Fall Festival was complete with balloons.
The most exciting was Friday's Fall Festival at the JM Family Center. Below you can see Gabriel didn't want to wear his hat with the pirate costume. He looked so cute!
You can see that eventually he was okay with the hat. Maybe the cotton candy was distracting him. He loved the cotton candy!
What is a Fall Festival without cotton candy and pizza? A little boy's dream!
All in all, it was a great weekend! Gabriel had fun and we kept very busy!
Stay tuned for pictures from tomorrow (Friday's) halloween day at work and the Family Center!

Pumpkin Patch

Today, we went to a pumpkin patch. This is what we call a pumpkin patch in Florida! We had lots of fun even though Gabriel didn't want to pose for any pictures. We caught a few...

Kinda looks like he got caught doing something he shouldn't be doing???
No, this is not our cart of pumpkins! We did buy a pumpkin, but none of these.

I'm not sure what Gabriel is looking at here, but it almost looks supernatural!

Love that smile
