Pumpkin Patch

Mairead was asked to dress her scarecrow for her preschool class. We were given a wooden skeleton and had to dress it.

At first, Mairead was adamant this scarecrow was a boy. Let me tell you, in a house with almost all girls, there was slim pickins' for male scarecrow attire. I mean, Kevin didn't want to get a lot of his clothes ruined, so we talked her into making the scarecrow a girl.

She picked out the clothes, dressed her and named her...

Pumpkin' Patch

Miss Pumpkin Patch - yes, those are flowers on her head.

After she was dressed and stuffed, we put her in the car. Mairead was worried she'd get cold, so she covered her up in a blanket and said good night to her. Too cute!
