Birthday Parties and Pumpkin Patches


Leah had a Frozen themed birthday party a few weeks back. She hasn't asked to watch Frozen, dress up like Elsa, or play with any of her Frozen toys at all recently. I wondered if she was over it. But, she was so excited to put on the dress, get her hair done, and wear the crown. I was excited that she liked it. 

Now that Leah is in school, she has had several birthday party invitations. Juliet is devastated. She doesn't understand why she can't go. Leah just invites her, and tells her it's fine for her to come, and then when I tell her she can't she just explodes with grief. On this day, we told her she could go with Daddy to Lowes, ride in the racing cart, and get a hot dog while we were at the party. She ended up falling asleep, so after I got home we decided to go to the pumpkin patch, then go to Lowes. Then, Daddy decided Home Depot would be better. There were no racing carts, and the hot dog cart closed right as we walked in. Juliet was so disappointed. No birthday party, no bounce house, no racing cart, no hot dog. Lesson learned. Lowes it is. 
 Leah had her face painted from the party. She had so much fun picking out pumpkins. She wanted almost every pumpkin that she saw. She kept loading up the wagon. 
 Juliet isn't really a pumpkin patch kid. She doesn't like standing in weeds and dirt. She doesn't like being poked. She doesn't like to carry heavy pumpkins. It's just not her favorite place. She faked it well for a picture, though. 

 Annual pumpkin pictures! There was a family picture, too, but I didn't like it.
