Pumpkin carving fun!

Friday we had "Family Fun Night" like any other Friday. We washed, drew on, and carved pumpkins. For 2 adults and 4 kids, it wasn't too bad!


Maddox wanted nothing to do with the inside of his pumpkin! He drew a face, helped cut the face house, but refused to touch the inside of the pumpkin. He kept saying, "this is gross. This is so gross Dad! I am not touching pumpkin guts!"

Olivia worked very hard at cleaning out all of her pumpkin guts! She loved it.

The aftermath.

The finished product! The kids did a great job!!!!

The cutest Supergirl and Robin!!!! Maddox was so excited to find a Robin costume (who cares that it is 4 sizes too big!).

Cooper and Nelson wanted to pose in their Batman and Superman costumes. Hopefully we will locate the necessary capes by next Sunday (they are in the house and were seen within the last week).

Travis and I will also be getting in on the Superhero fun. Travis will be donning his Green Lantern garb and I will proudly be sporting my Wonder Woman gear for some Trick-or-Treating fun.

Fun few weeks!

I've gotten into a great routine with working 3 days a week. Everyone seems to have adjusted well.
With the cooler weather we've been able to enjoy some great outside time on the deck, on the swing set, and with the neighbors. We live in the best neighborhood ever, SERIOUSLY!!!!!

In case anyone was wondering/worried. The dogs are doing great! Toby has mastered sleeping anywhere! At 11yrs old, he's finally not hyper 24/7, now it's just 24/5.
Tallie being the good calm protector!

Travis riding a mechanical bull at a "family circus" at a church in town. That entire day was amazing!!!! The kids spent 4 hours bouncing, tye-dying, eating, and giggling. The best part was, it didn't cost us a thing!!!!
