Morgan Carves a Pumpkin!

Morgan's turn! Morgan & Daddy carved her pumpkin last night. It was a pretty late night for her. She had something to do at school so she was there until 3:45. Then we went straight to dance, stopped at the store, came home, finished the homework for the week, she ate her pizza & got to work. Whew! I'm tired all over again. She got into bed 1 1/2 hours after normal bedtime. Today she wore her costume to school. She should have a wonderful day, it's Halloween & it's Fun Friday! (Every Friday at school is Fun Friday, she really looks forward to it.)

The Boys Carve a Pumpkin

The boys carved their first pumpkin w/ Daddy. They took late naps & Daddy left class early to have time to do their pumpkin. Alex really got into it! They cleaned the pumpkin out together. Alex picked a "Happy Face" from the book. After getting all the pumpkin guts out, the boys went off to bed, not much they could do w/ helping Daddy cut it. They were both amazed at the face on the pumpkin when they got up this morning. :)

Wow....

Alex digs in for the first time:

David finally gets in on the action:

I caught him eating some pumpkin guts, seemed to enjoy it though:

A little blurry, but you get the idea:

Praise God

We were listening to Veggie Tale's Praise & Worship cd in the car. At the end of the song I hear Alex shout, "YAY! Praise God!" I look back & he has his hands in the air & then starts clapping. During the next song I kept looking back & he'd be singing w/ his eyes shut, arms in the air praising God. I'm guessing he learned it at church. Anyway, I was playing some praise & worship the other day & there he was, praising God. David now praises God too, I'll say, "David, praise God," and he'll throw his arms in the air.

Spooktacular

We have SeaWorld passes so we go frequently throughout the year. It's a great place for fun and (shhhh) lots of learning. Every October we take the kids for the Spooktacular. Around 5 we get them in their costumes & join the festivities. They get to go trick-or-treating, play games, there's a DJ so they get to dance, and lots of fun characters to see. This year, Morgan is a detective, Alexander is a spider & David is a penguin. Uncle Christian went with us for our trip. Grandma & Papa met us over there for the trick-or-treat part. After a fun-filled day, all 3 kiddos were asleep before we got on to the 528.

Dinosaurs Explore

Alex was a dinosaur his 1st Halloween. He suddenly wants to wear his costume all the time, even though it's too small. We got a matching costume from a friend. Of course if one boy puts it on, the other wants to wear his too. :) The other day, my little dinosaurs went exploring.

Look Mommy, a stick bug!!!

Playroom

The past few months I've just been rearranging everything! We moved the boys into Morgan's old room, put the office in the boys' old room & Morgan in the old office. WHEW! I want to rearrange the living room, not sure what to do with it yet. I did the playroom this week though. I like it. I got tired of our ball pit w/ slide being in the middle of the room. Now they have more room to play in the floor & the reading corner is back. I keep their books in the wall cut-out but their pillows were in the opposite corner. Thankfully, the love reading! :)

Airplanes & Helicopters

Alexander LOVES airplanes & helicopters. He takes after his Daddy! So, Papa put in a call to a friend & we got a tour of some helicopters & an airplane! Alex still talks about that day. He loves looking at all the pictures. We all enjoyed the day. Thanks, Mr. Tim!

*Yes, I'm back! I'll be posting again & trying to post stuff from the past several months. :)
