Fall crafts and pumpkins

Fall is here and we've been very busy. We carved the pumpkins that we picked in Richmond with Nonna. They turned out super cute. The kids used these big "Mr. Potato Head" type pieces to decorate their pumpkins. Our porch is filled with carved and painted pumpkins and gourds! It is so cute. The wreath with pumpkins and ghosts was made from fist and footprints. The kids had an absolute blast with that craft. The messier a craft the better, as far as they are concerned. It is a very blustery day today with high temperatures only expected in the mid 40's! It is really windy too and finally feels like fall. We bundled up the kids this morning as they headed to preschool. I have a feeling they won't be playing outdoors today. They might blow away!

My trip to NIH was interesting and full of hope. I'll post more about that later. I just wanted to post some of the fun things that have filled our October.
