Pioneer Park and Pumpkin Cookies

I have been in a funk...I guess, I feel like I haven't done anything fun with the kids for forever...which I know I have, but I guess with Jeff being gone for so long I just really needed to go and DO something! So, I've been wanting to go to this park in Tustin for a long time...It's the Pioneer Road Park. We had it to ourselves, and it was sooo neat!Obviously, the theme was Pioneers...hence the covered wagons, wood chips, etc, but it had awesome slides, max-sized monkey bars, fireman poles, and a rickety bridge (that wasn't rickety at all) Max and Ivy both had a ball...i love how Ives wouldn't stop looking at her big brother! Max doesn't enjoy these baby swings as much anymore because they hurt him...but he wanted to swing next to 'Ibes'. cute kids.Then Jeff came home, and all was well...ahhhhhh.

Max and I made pumpkin sugar cookies with leftover frosting and sprkinkles from preschool. I don't think I'm a perfectionist...really not...OCD, yes, perfectionist, no...but overlapping pumpkin cutouts were really frustrating to me...should've waited a few days post Jeff coming home to do this project, but we survived...:) Max loves to do projects like this:

ps...do you like my apron? my MIL made it from a Halloween Tea Towel...so fun to have a halloween apron! and especially loves eating them.

good grief...what are we going to do with cookies...grrr

guess we'll eat 'em
