Pet Shop Party 2008

Lauren invited a couple of sweet neighborhood girls over to have a Pet Shop Party. She is into these tiny little plastic animals that are dressed up. Her friends are also into them so we decided to have a party celebrating Pet Shops. Abby and Jillian came over Friday morning and they painted pet shop bags, painted magnets, decorated cupcakes, ate McDonalds (which happens to have pet shops as their toy. Woo-hoo!), and did some swimming outside. It was a fun day at the Reed house. Even the boys got to do some pet shop things and loved it too.

Luke's Pumpkin

Luke helped us plant the garden this year. He picked out a package of pumpkin seeds to plant at the store. We gave him a little spot in the garden and let him do whatever he wanted. Oh my! He has the best pumpkins you ever saw! The rest of the garden is so-so but Lukey's pumpkins are beautiful. The little boy has a green thumb. ha! I always thought pumpkins are more of a fall plant and they are not ready to pick until then. As you can see Luke has a perfect, round pumpkin. He was so proud of himself (as we are too!). He is such a great kid:)

Trains, Trains, and more Trains

One of our favorite friends came over the other day to play with Lauren, Luke and Landry. They always seem to have the best time when Walker comes over. I was doing a little cleaning around the house when I came around the corner to see "Train City". The kids had put together all of the train tracks. It is so fun to watch kids play! I love listening to their little ideas and seeing their creativity. I want to cherish days like this and I hope they will always remember the fun they had with their childhood friends.
