momstown pumpkins in the pumpkin patch!

momstown hit the Pumpkin Patch!

Parkside Farms was the destination today, we filled up two wagons with kids, moms & grandparents too, as "Farmer Ben" took us on a wagon ride through the "Storybook Forest", after attempting to recite the names of the seven dwarfs to my confused three year old (come on, do you remember them all? :), we were dropped off at the Pumpkin Patch, the notion of this is a wee bit more romantic than the real deal.

Navigating through mud and rotting pumpkins with a toddler didn't actually prove to be that easy! But everyone found a pumpkin, some for carving, some for decorating, no one left empty handed. The trip was complete with a visit to the chicken coop and friendly nod from Farmer Ben. He's running the show on his own these days as the harvest season comes to an end.....but we'll be back next year.

Great way to spend the day and not too hard on the wallet at only five bucks a kid!

Moms love poker!

Poker Playin' Mamas! momstown mamas had a blast last night at Poker Night, with a great turn-out too. Thanks Ladies!!

As a first time poker player, the pre-game jitters were quickly abated with a glass of wine, a quick catch up on all the kiddies, and then a nice and easy open hand introduction to the game. Then the fun began!

And the chips disappeared quickly on my side of the table, both playing chips and tortillas :). Beginners, don't be shy, cause it was our newbies who ruled the roost last night! See you next month.

Mama's Game Night is something momstown plans in other chapters too! We love mama's night out! Check out momstown Edmonton North's poker game night!
