Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins


On Friday night we headed out to pick out some pumpkins for carving. We had a great time at a local pumpkin patch that a church just down the road from us was having. The kids ran around in the pumpkins and we tried to get them to sit still to take few pictures.

The whole gang: Ethan, Emily, Peyton, Cayden and Ryan.

Emily finally caught Peyton.

After returning home, we headed outside to do some carving. Aunt Amy had bought Emily a princess carving kit, so she choose the Ariel pattern for her pumpkin. Daddy was a good sport and started out the job, but soon found it to be difficult...


So, he handed the knife over to Mommy, who set out to proof it wasn't an impossible task.


The kids got bored with the pumpkin carving and took to riding bikes while they waited.


And then finally....


I do have to say, it came up pretty darn cute!!! And, I had one happy 3 year old when it was all said and done!!!

We still have another pumpkin to carve, but have decided to wait for another day. Emily has decided she wants us to carve Cinderella's carriage in the next one. It looks a lot more elaborate than Ariel's head, we'll see how that one turns out!

BIG WATER!!!


On Friday we met up with Collins Family who had Cayden with them at what the kids have affectionately named "Big Water." It is a public jumping water fountain in one of the neighborhoods in the area. As you can see from the pictures it was a BEAUTIFUL Friday morning and the kids had a BLAST!!!

Can you believe we can still do things like this in Mid-October? It still blows my mind, although I do still miss the crisp fall days up north!

A Visit with a Childhood Friend

Last Sunday we headed over to Orlando to meet up with my friend Jen and her family. Jenn and I have known each other since before we could walk. Jen and her family were vacationing at Disney and invited us over to Saratoga Springs for some swimming and food. It was so much fun to catch up and watch our kids play together as we had done so many years ago.

Of course I only got pictures of the kids, I don't know how that happens, but it's the story of my life. So, here are Emily, Peyton and Adam enjoying the pool and playground at the Disney Resort.
