Witch's Night Out and The Pumpkin Patch Party (a not so tasty Tuesday!)

Since I need to catch up on last Friday's happenings, because I finally got the pics on the computer; I am skipping a Tasty Tuesday but will hopefully redeem myself next week with a fabulous recipe (now I just need to figure out what that recipe is!!)

Moving on...last Friday I went to Witch's Night Out with Tammy, Brandy, Cassidy, Shannon, and my sister Missy. We have been going all together for a few years now (this was Missy's first time) and has become tradition to all get dressed up, go out to dinner, and walk and shop around Gardner Village. This year, like all the others, was a fabulous event! We were able to get in at the Naborhood Bakery and eat some yummy soup and sandwiches, and then hit up all the cute stores. I love that Gardner Village gets all decked out with the Witch Statues there and halloween decor. Every year it also never ceases to amaze me how many women love this fun girls night out and how elaborate some of their costumes and make up are! Here are a few photos from the night:
While I was having a GNO, Christopher took Dawson the Gymboree for their Pumpkin Patch Party. They have one every year, and I thought this year he would really have fun and understand more of what was going on so I signed him up and him and Chris had a "guys night." I of course made sure Christopher was armed with a camera so I could see all the fun they had! It was an hour and a half long, and they did some various fun activities. First they played in the gym area where they "bobbed" for apples, "made" pumpkin pie, and collected little pumpkins that were hidden all around. Then they had a craft time where they made a ghost hand and a little Halloween paper chain. After all the fun they were sent home with a goodie bag filled with a sugar cookie and a juice box. The night was a sucsess! Here are some pictures of my cute little bat and all the fun that was had:
