Oil Ranch Pumpkin Patch

The boys and I spent some time with some friends at Oil Ranch in Hockley. We had a great time playing with the pumpkins, seeing all the farm animals, playing in the maze, riding the train, and just running around with our friends! Unfortunately, Drew wasn't able to join us because he had to attend the funeral of friend.

Firestation Playdate

Today we went on a MOPS playdate to the Tomball Fire Department. The boys had a blast! A firemen talked to them about their uniforms and equipment and explained what it was used for. Then we got to tour the garage and see the different types of firetrucks. Mason even got to climb through the ladder truck - he was so excited. Both boys are going as firemen for Halloween this year so I let them wear their suits to the firestation. Too cute!

Mason was very intrigued with the mannequins

Pumpkin Patch 2009

This past weekend we took the family to TGR Exotics Pumpkin Patch on the Wildside. TGR Exotics is a wildlife sanctuary tooked back into a residential area here in Spring. The boys had a blast. They got to see lots of different animals (pigs, camels, ponies, and a baby kangaroo to name a few). Mason got his face painted and both boys got to paint their own pumpkins. They had the most fun playing in the hay and the corn troughs!

Ian is not too sure about this cat.

Mason finally smiling for a pic!

Playing in the corn. Mason was trying to "feed the deer" by dumping corn onto the ground.

Painting their pumpkins

Not one of my best decisions - sure, give the toddler a paint brush and some paint - what's the worst that could happen?! Paint, paint, everywhere!

Happy Halloween
