Pumpkin Party

Since Daddy is out of town and he hates pumpkin guts, we decided today would be a good day to carve.
 

He's a good sport.


Looking to brother for guidance.



Cookie break

He carved approxamately two lines.  Then I took over and he pushed the pieces out.



This weekend we took an unplanned trip down to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  It was just me and the kids all day Saturday so we did a few things.
 
Journey found Grandma's shoe stash.



Jasper and I made haunted house brownies.  Thanks Gma, for the kit.
After a family nap, we decided we needed creamcicles.

When Grandpa got home, he and Jasper built an Erector Set car.

After lunch at Denny's, the second half of the car ride home was quite peaceful.

We call her Messy Miss



It can be hard to get a picture of her face.




Sacramento

 
A few weeks ago Jon had to work in Sacramento for the weekend.  Since it was a three-day weekend, we decided to tag along.  It was a really relaxing, enjoyable time.  We're hoping to make it an annual thing.






Right after taking this picture a woman came up to me and told me I have very well-behaved kids.  It made my day.

The Last Few Weeks



We went to a safety fair and the kids played in a fire truck.  Journey threw a 20 minute fit after she had to get out.

We painted pumpkins, our first fall decorations.

Jasper had a walk-a-thon at school.



We made jello jigglers.  Not much was eaten, but it Jasper enjoyed playing with them.

We went to the movies to see Hotel Transylvania, which was a lot of fun.

A new after school favorite: apples with melted chocolate chips while watching Looney Tunes.

Who says you can't eat lunch in the stroller in the living room
