Pumpkin Carving Action


Ahh, pulling out the guts. The pumpkins were out on our porch from last night so the kids were saying that they were "FREEZING"... I tested it out and they were partly frozen. Crazy weather.
Jayson totally got into the "gut" pulling. He loved it!


After about an hour and a half all 3 kiddos had their pumpkins carved and were thrilled with the results. I did the "Witch" for Tayler and Sean did the "Haunted House" for Rylee and the "crazed Wow Wow Wubbzy" for Jayson (just kidding- it just looked like that since he is still so addicted to that silly show). I think they all turned out pretty good!



Here is Jayson's pumpkin
Tayler's Witch (usually Sean picks this one for ME!) :)

And last but not least, Rylee's Haunted House


Anyway, now to get the costumes ready for Saturday. Not that it matters since they will be under their big winter coats- I could just dress them in their regular clothes! Did Halloween sneak up on anyone else this year? Man, I can't believe that October is coming to an end already. Pretty soon Thanksgiving will be here!
It snowed pretty hard this morning. It was beautiful to watch in my big front room windows. Rylee was bummed that she couldn't build a snowman. I kept telling her that she would have plenty of opportunities in the near future, she settled for hot chocolate for lunch.
I had a visit with my Dr. for the baby today. Everything seems to be going well and everything is right on track. I asked him if I could keep running even though my feet seem to be swelling more and he said I was fine to keep going. It really does make me feel so much better. Right now I am just enjoying feeling the baby move around. This will probably be my last pregnancy so I am trying to just enjoy it to the best of my ability- the good and the bad.
Time to go clean up some pumpkin guts. Loves to all!
