PUMPKIN PAINTING....AT A PRINTING PRESS????

On Wednesday afternoon, I took my children (yep, all 5 of them) to a community event in my town of Woodbridge, New Jersey.    They were holding a Pumpkin Painting event for the kids....and it was FREE.

The event was held at a little spot in town called Parker Press, it's in the heart of our township and now the hosting spot of many activities for the community.    It is quaint and has an old town charm to it so I had to snap some pics while my Picasso's were in the moment.  Or as my son said while he was painting "I'm like the modern day DaVinci"...yes he is the one who will be a politician one day...or a lawyer.   Not shy, loves to talk and gets his point across.  I'll probably be his campaign manager and definitely his event planner. LOL

#4's pumpkin

Here is my crew and their pumpkins.

I have to say that as much as I want to escape the city and move to SC someday.  Living where I do in a historic town, gives me that hometown feel with all the perks of city life.  Big shout out to Mayor John E. McCormac for all that he has brought to our town, the activities, the sense of community, the pride.

WIWW- What I Wore Wednesday

Today was a fun filled day at Chuck E. Cheese with the my kids and niece who has been visiting for the past 2 weeks and doesn't want to go home.

I took alot of pics so I thought I would do a What I Wore Wednesday post this week.    Now keep in mind that this was my 16 month old daughters 1st trip there so I had my active gear on. lol

It was hot in Jersey today and a bit humid too....that's my daughter in the storm door reflection taking this pic

WHAT I DID WEDNESDAY......LOL

So Im not really good at following the rules or scheduling so this post will consist of a What I wore Wednesday and What I did Wednesday since that just like me to mix things up.

Today is the 3rd day of kids Spring Break so I took my oldest and the 2 littles ones to our local mall parking lot where they were holding " Big Wheels Day" and yes you guessed it.   Every kind of truck, tractor, machine, fire engine, ambulance was there.    

This is my baby (she just turned 1 last month)...she also just took her shoes off. lol

Big sis is making her do cheesy smiles

No photos please!

This is my little rockstar...she loves pictures and going out

Here she is in the fire truck

We might need some pedal extensions. lol

In the summer long Hummer limo

This thing was huge...shes a big girl and looks like an ant in front of it.

She was flirting with the firefighter...thank goodness Big Daddy was at work. lol

This is my outfit for today (tunic top, black leggings & ballet flats) It was a bit chilly here in Jersey (52 when we left at noon) so I brought my pashmina.

HAD A GREAT DAY WITH ALMOST ALL OF MY KIDS TODAY.....still 4 more days left on our Spring Break vacation!
