FALL 2009

Happy Halloween! We went to the Pumpkin Walk... a little chilly, but it's a fun tradition. There are so many creative minds... it's fun to see the different ideas... I always love the farm animals made out of all the pumpkins... the kids loved it.
My little Yoda... isn't he a cute little Yoda!

Branden made a "scary face" pumpkin for Eli. I'm more into the basic triangle eyes & nose, but not Branden... he'll spend an hour with the template... I'll just take the pics, he can do the carving!

We had Branden's brother & sister & their families over for a pumpkin party. The family is getting so big we had to move our little party to the garage (safer for pumpkin carving anyway!) We had good food, good company & some good pumpkin carvers!

Maddie with her pumpkin, she liked getting all the "guts" out.

Allie was the smart one, dad got to do all the dirty work... her and her cousin, Morgan, got bored with pumpkins and ate carmel apples and cupcakes instead. (she takes after her mama!)

Everyone was concentrating, we have some serious pumpkin carvers in the family!

Eli & his cousin, Wyatt, had to take a carmel apple break.

Last week was Red Ribbon week at Maddie's school. She has looked forward to crazy hair day for weeks now. It turned out more like Cindy Lou Who, but she loved it and looked darling.

It was fun to see all the crazy hair at school...

The other day, Eli got quiet, I thought he was playing in another room, but when I found him he was zonked out under the bar. What a cute little guy he is. He plays so hard that as soon as he holds still for a few minutes he's gone! He is a good little boy!

So tired! He seemed pretty comfy though...
