Pumpkin Carving

Last night was pumpkin carving night! 

The kids were so excited and have been talking about what they wanted their pumpkin to look like.  Kelly and Daddy teamed up and Austin got me. 

Kelly went with her own design...

and Austin picked to do Marshall. 

(I think Daddy was very happy with his carving partner, LOL)

Daddy finished in no time and then had to go to a fire meeting, so I had the kids pick out the seeds so we could bake them.  They had fun getting messy and it kept them busy while I was hard at work.

 I think we did a pretty good job this year! 

I can't wait to see them all dressed up in their costumes! They are going to be SO cute! 

Weekend fun

We had a lot of fun last weekend.  On Friday after school we took Kelly to get her new pet! She was so excited!

Saturday Daddy went fishing and we had a relaxing day.

Sunday we got up very early and made the 2 1/2 hour trip to Cracker Barrel to surprise the kids.  

Matching with my girl!

We spent the rest of the day exploring and shopping at different malls. We even picked up our ornaments for the year.

1st day of Kindergarten and 2nd grade!

Summer break is over and the new school year has began! The kids were so excited for their first day of school. Hard to believe Kelly is already in 2nd and Austin is in Kindergarten! Where has the time gone?

This morning I made muffins, by their request, for breakfast. Since they had picked their outfits out weeks ago they were up and dressed before Jacob and I even got up!

Jacob took the day off so he could take them to school and so we could have a date day. This made the first day of school a lot easier on this Mommy! It was nice to have some time together. 

I loved how their first day signs turned out!

They had a great first day and can't wait to go back tomorrow!
