Ghetto Pumpkin Patch & Yummy Cookies!


Last night we had so much fun with our niece Taylor! We had her come over for a sleepover. Zoey was SO excited, and kept asking all day when Tay would get to come over. We had planned to go to the Pumpkin Patch, and decorate cookies! Well, by the time we got around to leaving the house...it was dark outside...therfore too late to go to the Pumpkin Patch. Zoey was not happy because I had been telling her all day that we were going to go. Good ol' Walmart came in quite handy! Ha! How ghetto...telling Zo that Walmart is the Pumpkin Patch!



It worked just fine for us though! Zoey was still excited to see all the pumpkins, and to pick one out! I think Ben was a little embarassed that I was taking pictures of them all picking them out, but this is our version of the Pumpkin Patch this year!


Yes, I bought the girls cute little Halloween shirts to wear to the Pumpkin Patch, and to decorate cookies! We also made cute bows to match their shirts!!


So we tried, and tried for a cute picture, but they just wanted to be silly instead!


Got to give it to Walmart...they even have this cute little set up in front. Perfect for ghetto Pumpkin Patch Pictures!!!


Tay wanted the biggest pumpkin she could find!



After the Pumpkin Patch we headed home to get started on the cookies! I baked over a 100 cookies, so we had a ton of frosting to do! The girls loved it, and had so much fun! Ben was even a good sport, and joined in on the fun!


Zoey was excited to use the sprinkles all by herself!


Taylor was a pro at frosting them!


Ben entertaining me with another picture!


These are Zo's 3 cookies she decorated! She wanted to do 1 of each!


Zoey could hardly wait to try them out! They turned out so yummy!


Thanks for coming and staying with us Tay! We had so much fun, and can't wait to do it again!!
