Halloween 2009 Photo

Yes, I know! It's been over a month since the last update. Shame on me!

Here is a photo from Halloween 2009. The kids sure have grown up!

I have many things on my mind but just can't seem to get them onto the computer screen. I will work on that.

Until then...

Happy Halloween (Pics)!

Here are the Halloween photos from this year! Jacob went with another friend this year for the first time. He also is very camera shy as is his brother, Austin. Therefore, most of the photos are of the girls. At least I was able to capture at least one photo of each child!! :)

Enjoy

Spook-tacular

As promised, although later than anticipated, here are the photos of the kids on Halloween. They are nothing spook-tacular but it was what each of them wanted to be. They all had a great time. **No, I didn't forget Jonathon's picture. He didn't dress up as he was being a GROUCH!**

Boooo!

I was going to share with you more pictures from Tuesday night but I'm plum tuckered out! So, it will have to be another day. Until then, here is one for you. I hope you enjoy. And...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Dirty Jobs

Today was a day the kids look forward to all year long. I, on the other hand, try really hard to convince myself that it's going to be super cool. After a battle (or five) I loaded my little goblins up and we headed out to the pumpkin patch. It was getting late and I knew that we wouldn't be able to have time to actually walk around a patch. So, we ended up at a prepicked pumpkin place instead. Jonathon decided that he would fall asleep on the way.

The other kids thought they needed to pick up Every Single Pumpkin to test its weight as well as the strength of the stem, even though I told them time and time again not to pick them up because the stems could break off. And, sure enough, several stems snapped leaving a little piece in their little hands and a slightly heavy pumpkin to land on their toes. Each goblin must have done that at least five times. (sigh)

Of course, each of them thought they were going to get the biggest pumpkin of the bunch. My rule was You carry what you pick. The rule didn't stop them from trying though. As you can see, they each tried really really hard to convince me that this pumpkin would fit in our van. What do you think? It only weighs 314 pounds, Mom!
We finally picked our pumpkins out and headed home to carve them. The one thing that I don't enjoy is having to finish emptying out the pumpkin guts for my munchkins. It makes my hands itch something fierce. But finally, after much arguing fun with carving, the goblins finished their masterpieces. They were so proud of their work!







On a side note:
As we were carving, Katelyn looked over at me and said:

"This is a Dirty Job. We should call Mike Rolf."

(Austin quickly corrected her with the proper last name. Do you think they watch that show much?)

Until next time...
