Pumpkin Carving Time...

Saturday we headed out to Cox Farms to get the boys a pumpkin! They had lots of fun stuff to do for the kids and we were all excited BUT, of course, it downpoured rain as soon as we got there. So we hurried and picked out pumpkins and came home to carve them. Jackson, of course, had his heart set on the biggest (and most expensive) pumpkin and daddy, being the push over that he is, let him have it. Luckily Josh had his heart set on the $2 tiny one! So we got a huge one for Jackson and a medium and tiny one for Josh.

Jack's big ol pumpkin and Josh's tiny one....Getting ready to cut open the pumpkin...Here is Jackson saying, "YOU pull the yucky seeds out not me!"He finally gave in and got his hands dirty...Josh was proud of his dirty hands...Jackson's final product, all day he had said he wanted TRIANGLE eyes AND a TRIANGLE nose...Every night they remind us to go out and light their jack-o-lanterns, they LOVE them!Josh's final product...he insisted on OVAL eyes, nose, and mouth...

They are so excited for trick or treating this year, they'll be so cute and I can't wait to take them. I got their pumpkins out and they've been practicing trick or treating. Jackson goes on one side of a door in the house and Josh goes on the other and knocks and says TRICK OR TREAT. Then Jackson opens the door and pretends to give him candy and Josh says, THANK YOU! Then they go to the next door in the house, haha. It cracks me up.

I'm also looking forward to next weekend because my DEAR DEAR friend Becky and her family are coming from Pittsburg to visit! YAY! I better rest up because Becky and I could, and will, talk all night!!!

Also, tomorrow is Parker's birthday! He's turning the big 3 0 !!! I can't believe it! More to come...

Looks like you guys are settling in nicely. We live in Richmond, it's about 2 hours from you. I wonder if there is a fun place somewhere in the middle that we could meet at?
