Someday...

... I'll be able to update my blog with more pictures! My cord that connects my camera to the computer was accidentally packed away (oops!). So I have no way of getting pictures on here. I have Halloween pictures to share that are trapped inside my camera until we move. Oh well! We moved out of the house we were renting on Halloween weekend, so we've been staying with Josh's parents until our house is finished. It's getting close! They did the stucco last week and just put the stucco color on this week. The drywall is also done (except for some of the ceilings I think). Cabinets, countertop, carpet & tile are all picked out waiting to come in. :) We're hopeful to be in by Thanksgiving or at least by the end of the month!

Pumpkin Party!

Since the kids didn't get to carve their pumpkins with everyone else, a couple of days later when they had Fall Break(Oct. 15th), we had a Pumpkin Party! That morning I helped Isaac and Parker carve their pumpkins. They both turned out really cute! When I took their picture (above) they wanted to have a light inside their pumpkins. :)

After lunch, we decorated some pumpkin cupcakes. I intended for them to be a little more complex, but we ended up just keeping them really simple. They turned out pretty cute. When I first brought the undecorated cupcakes in, Bryce saw them and yelled "Cu-cay!" He knew just what they were, and was so excited. He must have had them at preschool before. He had fun decorating them and then peeling the paper off. He had a couple of tastes, but mostly just crumbled it up. Isaac and Parker had a fun time decorating their cupcakes too!

For dinner I got the kids the Pumpkin kids' meals from Artic Circle. We don't do kids' meals very often, so it was a fun treat for them. I even bought Bryce one although he wasn't too interested in the food. He liked the bbq sauce from the nuggets though! :)





After dinner I helped Bryce carve his pumpkin. I scraped the inside really good and then let him clean out the guts. It was so cute! He got out every little bit. I carved his pumpkin into a Mickey Mouse (he loves Mickey)! After that, Josh and I carved our pumpkinds. :) Last of all we roasted all of our pumpkin seeds. Yum! It was a fun day. I'm glad we got to do something Halloweeny. I was kinda bummed that we weren't able to do our annual Halloween party this year since we were moving, so this was at least something.
