One of Hudson's favorite books is Sandra Boynton's Barnyard Dance. It talks about getting ready for a barnyard dance. I love to read this book and Hudson loves to hear it. I can't remember the last time we actually carved pumpkins...maybe we never did! Each year, my parent's neighbor Rod and Karen host a pumpkin carving party in their barn (hence the title). I was STOKED when I heard we were invited along with all of the neighbors. I love any excuse to get together and see friends that I don't always get to see. I was worried though because it started at 1 and for those of you without kids, that is a scared time called "nap" that I live for. So I knew it would be difficult but I was ready to mingle:).
Because I was chasing Hudson around, I designated Papa as our official carver.
I chose a bat design.
Nana and Hudson watching intently. The boy to the right is Evan who I had in my 2nd grade class when I was a student teacher soo many moons ago. He is now in junior high, my how they grow! My mom taught his taught his dad in 5th grade. Small world, wonderful neighbors!
Hudson loved pushing his train all around but he was getting in the way so Nana
held him and then he started to get a bit fussy....
Our hostess, Karen, is the farm girl in overalls on the far left.
The finished product
Rod had made these cool saddle chairs that Hudson thought was fun:).
Rod and my dad ride Harley's together so I thought it was appropriate that Huddy
wear his biker gear (aka the shirt).
It was a fun time with fun neighbors. I can't wait until next year!!!
