Happy Halloween!

We celebrated on Saturday with playing in the fall leaves and then going to a trunk-or-treat at the church. We won't trick-or-treat tonight, but we are spending it with the Crimsons, so we know we will have plenty of fun.
We are hoping to get more pics of the boys in their costumes. But we did get this pic from a friend. (Thanks Bro F.)Rockin' Elvis and Star Trekker.

Pumpkins!

Last night we decorated our pumpkins. I don't have the boys carve them. I wouldn't mind the older boys doing it, but then the little ones would want to. I can just see Puppy with a knife. AAAAHHHHHHH! So, we use these little plastic things to make faces on them. It goes much faster and the boys always love their pumpkins.

Gosh such cute pumpkins, with such cute boys!

I don't trust my boys with my camera so Star held my pumpkin for me to take a pic. Looks just like me ;)

Pumpkin Picking

We went to a little farm close by to pick out our pumpkins for Halloween. It was a fun evening. Here are some pics.

Me and my sweetie. I was working on getting over a cold that night. I look it too. But at least I got a pic with me and my love.

Blue Tiger found one he liked right off. It's so easy to take him places. He does what he is told and he enjoys being out and about. What a great kid.

EZ found a train to play on in the playground next to the pumpkin patch. Gosh he is cute!

Puppy was one of the last ones to find one. But he found the 'perfect' pumpkin. Of course he got Baby Dog's approval before we were able to take it home.

Gosh my Star looks old. He is growing out of all of his clothes. AAHHHH!!

Spike was really happy to find a pumpkin. He wasn't too keen on the playing part afterward, but he dealt with it okay. (The ice-cream sandwiches we had helped.)

Sage on the other hand, LOVED the playing part. Lately he goes everywhere either in full Super Hero uniform or at least in his hero glasses.)

What a fun evening!

My version vs. the original.

The Original~
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread,
And whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed.

My Version~
There was a young beautiful woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many cute boys she didn't know what to do.
She fed them all apples, with cheese and some bread.
She kissed them all sweetly and sent them to bed.

(I like my version best.)

WOW

I got a little email from my sweet hubby this week. I just HAD to blog one line of it.

Here is the line:
I was wrong, you were right. Save this email for future reference.

Thanks My Love! I know it was hard to say. But it is possible. ;)

Raingutter Regatta

Last Tuesday night was Blue Tiger's first Raingutter Regatta. He made such a great boat. Unfortunately, it only won two of the four times down the gutter. Anyone who knows our Tiger, knows how he handled this....poorly. He is such a perfectionist. Losing is just not something he does well. He is getting better and we are constantly working on calming techniques, but in the mean time...
Oh well. It was his first time AND he did have the best LOOKING boat. He and Dad made it a pirate ship with cannons and everything. It was fun.
Maybe next year Tiger!
