Pumpkin Carving

Two separate nights we worked on perfecting our pumpkins:) I found these push-in pieces like Mr.Potato Head for the pumpkins and the kids loved them! It was nice because Abigail was able to be more involved using these.  The next night we brought out the big guns {LOL} and we went out to the picnic table and got to carving. Cody drew out the designs while Scott carved....Abigail and I played on the swings and slide...and checked in on the boys progress here and there. Lot's of fun memories this here! Can't wait for Trick-or-Treating!


















Water Fight!

Playing Catch Up...

Well, before Halloween gets here and I'm waaaaay behind, here's a "catch up" post from the happenings this month so far...
Miss Abigail in her favorite "bath tub"

Beginnings of a Bar-b-q! When I took the kids to my parents a few weeks ago it allowed Scott to begin on a project he has been anxiously awaiting...a built in bar-b-q.  It's in progress still, but coming along nicely. More to post on that as it gets closer to finish!

One of their favorite things to do together....build!

Abigail's favorite thing, to knock it down, BOOM! Looks like this time Cody is on-board with the knocking down....that's not always the case...

Where better to have a little snack??? Funny thing, check out the below picture of Cody just about her age doing the same thing...
Cannot believe how time has flown! 

Look at him all grown up now!  He still just as sweet though:)

Uh  Oh, look who else thinks they get dibs on MY laptop:)

Sibs hanging on the couch before bed

Funny, how much fun this Pier One trunk has brought these two:) I have had this since before I knew Scott.  It was my coffee table in my old apartment....Scott has hated dragging it from place to place for me, always asking "do you still want this, and where is this gonna fit?" Hahaha, now he just laughs about it...we often find Cody sitting in it with all the blankets, watching cartoon:s:)


Our caterpillar became a moth! Another successful hatch!

Getting Jake a nice bath before the weather changes and the water gets too cold...I know what your gonna say, but he's spoiled:)


Some outside time in the sand....

And where you can always find Abigail....18803 1/2 {grin}

Discovering a walkway behind the planter...

and swinging....


always swinging....

This girl's got guts! She's a little too brave for my liking, but of course Daddy will always indulge the little dare-devil:) Just days ago she discovered the slide, now she shakes her head "no" when you try to hold on to her in any way on the way down....yikes! Were in trouble!

Cody reading "Where the Sidewalk Ends" to Grammy over the phone:)

Abigail reading some stories...

and always making us laugh!

My little stow-away! I better not let Grammy see this or she's gonna think about taking an extra bag home with her the next time she comes to visit:)

Since the water is getting too cold to swim in the pool, Abigail is thinking of new ways to keep the swimsuit
(and Cody's) in her wardrobe:)

Notice Cody's swim trunks...

More books!

So Cody likes to eat his morning cereal here like this (see yet another use for this Pier One trunk:) And of course Abigail wants to do everything he does, so why not eat her Mac'N'Cheese here????
