Pumpkins are ready

This past Saturday night we 'scooped the goop'.  Everyone helped with gutting the pumpkins and then designed their faces for their pumpkins.  Then we roasted some pumpkin seeds, yummy, garlic salted pumpkin seeds.  Apparently only Karen enjoyes eating pumpkin seeds; however we all had fun carving.

Halloween Practice

We did a dry run on the Halloween dress up and grabbed some photos.  Allie will be Minny Mouse.  She is in a stage where she only wants to wear "Mickey" or "Dora" shirts.  She wore this outfit for a few days until we had to place it out of site so it would last until Halloween.  Sammie will be a snow princess, she has the crown however the rest of the outfit we will borrow from our friends the Stanley's.  Tommy is Batman and loves trying on the outfit every few days.

The summer with out rain

So it has not rained most of the summer so when we finally got some rain, we set up some chairs to watch so that  we would not miss it, for who knows when we would see it again! 

Allie took a tumble in the garage and got a sizable bruise in the center of her forehead.  She still had smiles though!

Smiling Sammie!
