Pumpkin Patch Disaster!

I volunteered to work the patch months ago...probably my first JSL meeting because you know I love pumpkins! Of course when Oct. 27 came around it was the rainiest day EVER. I made sure and called the Cultural Center (I have to have about 15 hours I think a year for league) to see if they were still having it. Of course, they said yes.

I ended up being the only person there working it. Only one person stopped by to get a pumpkin in the monsoon...and they ended up not getting one. And the tent filled up with water and collapsed. Luckily, I dodged the flood of water, and got to come home a little bit early!

Even wet, the pumpkins still looked pretty though...especially under all the oaks and spanish moss. I'll try again next year :)


Walking up to the CC in the dreary weather. We actually have our monthly meetings here.


I had to stand the entire time b/c the table and chairs were wet. I was trying to place the money and stickers in a spot where they wouldn't get wet.


You can sort of see the sagging tent about to collapse. Don't the pumpkins look pretty?


Rainy tennis courts.


And rainy playground. I was a little bit bored.


Leaving!!! Woo Hoo! :)

Changing the subject. This week has been crazy! CRAZY! Halloween week and Red Ribbon Week and a full moon in elementary school is INSANE!! It has felt long and I'm very ready for Friday! The weekend can't get here soon enough.

I think this is so cute: My kids are very obsessed with this one Halloween cd that I have. They LOVE Ghost Busters and Harry Potter. I had no idea that they even knew what those two movies were! But they are all about them. They also tell everybody that they pass that I have plum colored nails, they are not painted black. Wait to make me feel special and call attention to my nails. I feel like every one is thinking I painted them black for Halloween. They are OPI Lincoln Park After Dark and are a plum color that sort of look black/burgundy. I painted them for Cowboy Ball..not Halloween friends :)



This is the color. Although if you know me, I love a short black nail. :)
