My Three Boys 2009

So, today after a school field trip to the pumpkin patch....

We carved pumpkins. Last year I did it by myself with the boys observing, but this year I decided to shake things up a bit.

After cutting the tops off the pumpkins, I let the boys scoop the inside out. I thought they would tire of it much sooner than they did, but they hung in there pretty good. They enjoyed getting their hands down in the pumpkins. It was ooey-gooey. Cooper really prefered to use his spoon. He doesn't reallylike to get his hands all sticky!!!This is gross Memaw!

See how much I got Memaw!!!

I think I'll just use my spoon now.

I carved them out for the boys. Thomas's pumkin is the one on top. It only has 2 teeth. He said that's because he has two loose teeth! I am not ready for him to loose his baby teeth, but that day is coming soon. Their looks change so much. He really will be a big boy then won't he? He is excited, he has several friends that have begun to lose their teeth.

Cooper and David wanted scary faces. That's about as good as I can get with a paring knife.

Can you tell which one is tired, sleepy, crabby, fussy and doesn't want to wait til after supper to eat his ice cream from the ice cream truck???

It was another blessed day. Soon to have more when my Mom and Daddy will be here with us. I am looking for that day!

October Days...

Yesterday we loaded up in the van and headed up thru the hills of Tennessee to Bell Buckle. There's this huge arts and craft show there every year in October. It started out as a fund raiser for the Webb School and has grown to encompass the entire town. (which is pretty small). There are over 500 crafters there. Scattered amongst them are retailers also, but mostly there are new crafts. It was really cold, so we bundled up really well. It has been raining a good bit here, so we were expecting some mud. I would like to know how many bales of hay they spread at the craft show. It was very little mud, because they were well prepared with the hay. It was cloudy but still a very nice day to be outside. Some of these pictures I got off the internet (because I forgot to take my camera. I believe this was from last year.
The ride up there is beautiful. You see alot of these.

There are alot of horse farms up in that area too. There must be alot of money in walking horses and quarter horses, because these farms are HUGE!!

We had hot chocolate when we got home. Cooper says "It's yummy to my tummy"

It was good after being outdoors for the day

The best part is the whipping cream.

YUMMY!!

Another blessed day.

Ben played with the kids on the trampoline after work. They loved it. I found these at Costco and of course I could not turn them down. Don't the boys look cute in them. They loved them. Little David wore his around most of the day.
