Pumpkin Carving and The Best Toy EVER!!

Okay seriously if you have little one's you "NEED" this toy! I was watching Em's girls while she went to get a few groceries and they were a little unhappy so I pulled out the ball popper and they were all happy as can be! Even Gracie and Cole play with this thing all the time! It's great! Look at all those happy kids! LOL We had one when Gracie was little and over the years it broke. Eli got another for his birthday and I had forgotten how much the kids like it and was surprised at how much the big kids still liked it!

Here are the finished pumpkins top to bottom left to right: Hannah's, Joey's, Payton's, Gracie's and Cole's.


The kids had so much fun tonight carving pumpkins! They are getting so good at doing it! They LOVE gutting them which thrilled me because that's the part I hate! Even Eli got to get his hands in the guts a little! He was saying ggggg for yuck! It was pretty cute! Our friends Andrea, Hannah and Payton came over to join in on the fun! I think all of the pumpkins turned out great and the kids did a great job!

Pumpkin Patch!

I love this time of year! It's so pretty outside, the weather is amazing and the kids love the pumpkin patch! We went with Emily and her girls, my cousin Jani and her baby, Mary and Faith and Fiona my friend Holly's little girl! We had a great time just letting the kids run wild! The kids had so much fun running through the straw bale maze and petting all the animals! Eli was totally taken by those pigs! They were cracking me up! I think they were having a stare down! :)
Notice Avery and Joey fighting on the bottom. I think Avery wanted to be in the hole that Joey was in! And then there's Faith and Eli, happy as can be!

Cole and his friend Fiona! They spend so much time together! The are in the same Kindergarten class and then after school it's heart braking for them to have to go their separate ways! Needless to say most days after school he is with her at her house or ours! :)
These two can melt your hearts and make you want to pull your hair out in the same minute! They are the best of friends! My sister got a new camera and took this picture, which I'm blowing up for my wall!
