Pumpkin time

We went to the pumpkin patch for phoebes school trip. We picked out pumpkins for everyone. Luke wanted the biggest one I could find. Allie wanted the "perfect" pumpkin. Phoebe wanted a cute one. And Mac picked a tiny Mac size one!

If course they looked great on the porch!

Next it was time to carve them!  Our great friends dave and Renee asked us over to have a carving party!

These guys take it serious!  We had a blast!

This was the first year Allie carved by herself. She hates pumpkin guts!

Finished products!  Bat is phoebes Frankenstein is Luke's. Ghost for Allie and Y for Mac!

Cute monkey!

Mac has found a love of books!  He can often be found like this!

Mac is in the unsettled time of life. He has a hard time settling down to bed. So tonight he is letting us know exactly where he wants to sleep!  

Chatting on the phone

He's a fan of flowers !

Mac spent about 5 minutes at the grocery store smelling the flowers!  He is the worlds cutest ! 

Giant pumpkins!

Our neighbors have grown some giant massive pumpkins!  Adam helped load them up the other day to take them to the state weigh off!  

This baby weighed in at 580 pounds!!

I have some cute pumpkins of my own!

Yearly back to school feast!

For the past 2 years we have had a back to school feast  it is a totally fun tradition. This year was not any different. We had chocolate chip waffles juice and eggs!  Played pin the backpack on the bee ( the school mascot is a bee). And had so much fun.   Until we decided to go out side for a few minutes....(see last picture)

Little miss bo bee got her arm yanked and got Nursemaids elbow!  Basically a slightly dislocated elbow.  She was treated to an ER trip and a cute new Accessory!
