We ended up with 21 pumpkins from our garden!!!
What were we going to do with 21 pumpkins?
Have a pumpkin party of course!!!!!
All week while Shaun was gone, I kept telling Maisey that she had to be a big girl for her pumpkin party on Saturday. That kept her pretty motivated!
5 of the kids got sick this weekend, so we only had 8 come, which actually ended up being a perfect number!!!
Here are the 8 painting pumpkins in the garage. Toddlers, paint, and carpet don't sound like a very good idea!
Maisey, Hailey, Gwenn, and Porter painting away!
After we painted pumpkins, we came inside and the kids all decorated pumpkin sugar cookies with frosting, sprinkles, m & m's, candy corns, and pumpkin peeps. (Wow! That sounds really sugary!)
Here's the party girl enjoying her cookie and apple juice!
After pumpkin cookies, we had a pumpkin walk. We listened to Halloween music while the kids walked around on the pumpkins. When I drew the number that they were standing on they got a Halloween Fruit by the Foot.
Then we went out and played pin the nose on the Jack-O-Lantern. Some of the bigger kids were brave and used the blind fold. Hailey won a special prize for being the blind-folded kid that got it the closest!
All the other kids got a popcorn ball for playing!
A quick group shot before everyone left! 
Gage and Isaiah were buddies during the party!
The Festive Family of Four! (I love alliteration!)
These 2 were exhausted after everyone left, so they were resting and watching football with Daddy!

So sad we had to miss it! Looks like you guys had a great time, maybe next year, we look forward to it!
Thanks for having us over! It was a lot of fun! I, too, think you should plan this for every year! What a fun tradition to start!
That looks like so much fun!! Clever ideas on the party games. I will have to keep them in mind.
Emily - you are so amazing that party was a HIT - heck at 24 I would have had a good time, and possibly be knocking the toddlers out of the way on the pumpkin walk! I'm glad you found a home for all your pumpkins and the family picture turned out so good!
