The Nightmare Before Halloween!

Here are the kids carving their pumpkins! Logan got his hands dirty (we're proud of you!). Connor was grossed out by the "guts". Delaney and Rori ran around cleaning the pumpkins, they were sparkly! We have eaten so many pumpkin seeds that we are sick. Jonathan drew all the patterns free-handed from picutres. We love our talented daddy! Our project took about 4 hrs to complete! Truly a Labor of Love.

Happy Birthday Connor! You're 6!

On October 4, a very rainy Saturday, Connor celebrated his 6th birthday. We had around 20 kids carving pumpkins at our house. He told us on October 3 (his birth date), that he was NOT 6 until his birthday party! He would not be convinced at all! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNOR!!!

Pumpkin Patch 2008

Today we went to the Pankratz Pumpkin Patch for our Family Home Evening. The kids had tons of fun running around trying to find the perfect pumpkin. Jonathan found his right away....approx. 200 lbs. of pumpkin! This is our favorite family
activity this time of year.
