A Weekend Away, Halloween and Big Sister Prep

Josie spent last weekend up at Aunt Liz and Uncle Ed's. She had such a great time. They went to a pumpkin patch and Josie went for a ride in the wheelbarrow and picked out a few pumpkins.

And she jumped in the hay house

She also had a great time with a little girl that lives next to Liz. How fun to have someone to scoot with and be able to look at all the animals as you go by.

She also did some painting

It was such a fun weekend for Josie and a wonderfully relaxing weekend for Marty and me. I spent the weekend in Port Ludlow with a group of college girlfriends.
There were no photos taken of Marty's weekend. Although if I had to paint a picture for you it would be of him blasting the music in our new stereo system upstairs. Maybe dancing in his boxers... not sure. Not sure I want to know.

I got back from Port Ludlow on Sunday afternoon and Josie stayed at Liz's an extra night. We were able to go out to dinner and a movie on Sunday. What a treat! Thanks Liz and Ed!!


Last week we carved pumpkins with Bryn. Here they are scooping out all the gunk.

And here are the girls with the final product. Not the most creative jack-o-lantern but it will do.

Josie has been talking a lot about her baby sister. She is convinced it will be a sister even though we keep telling her that it might be a brother. She decided to practice reading books to her babies in preparation for her role as a big sister.
