Aunt Diane, Pumpkins, and Blue Ink

Grandma and Aunt Diane came to visit last Friday and it was a huge hit with Abigail. They came bearing gifts and she loved the play saw (which talks) and tape measure. She immediately roped Aunt Diane into playing work with her (that's what she called it) and they had to wear their work gloves too (one racket ball cover and a gardening glove). They spent much of the afternoon over towards the neighbors house where Jeremy and Al are putting up part of the fence. She was so proud to be helping her daddy out!

On Saturday we headed out to the Clayton Pumpkin Patch and the big hit was a swimming pool full of lima beans that the kids played in. There were five families from church that met out there. Not all of the kids are here in the picture and the ones that are aren't really looking at the camera but I thought it was cute. Abigail had to bring the play tape measure to this activity as well so that she could measure the pumpkins. Olivia enjoyed her time in the stroller sporting her pumpkin bib and looking cute. It was high 80s outside and we were all sweating to death. So much for Fall weather in California.

This morning I looked down and Abigail was cracking up that she had put mickey mouse ears on Olivia. It's hard to see but her two little teeth, yes teeth are down there on the bottom as well. We didn't even know she was teething until last week when I felt something sharp in her mouth and found out it was teeth!

Olivia being the second child, I just got around to making her hand/footprints for the baby book. It was supposed to be washable, kid-friendly ink but it really took some scrubbing to get out. Meanwhile, Abigail happily took some photos of the event (she snapped these both) and I got blue ink all over the place.
