The many faces of a jack o lantern.

This evening D carved "Mr. Pumpkin" as Trey named him. We tried with no luck to get him to scoop out the seedy, squishy, stringy inside. Then Trey drew many faces on his little pumpkin. I was in charge of watching Paige to make sure she didn't step in dog poop. Fun fun fun for the whole family!

The best thing ever

After the pumpkin patch we went to the grocery store where Paigey (and Trey) got a free balloon - You would have thought she had a winning lottery ticket she was so excited. All I heard were squeals and laughter as we checked out. Here they are at home running around with them - hence the blurriness.

Pumpkin Patch

So the plan was to go to this great farm about an hour away with pumpkin painting, scarecrow stuffing, hayrides, mazes, petting zoo, etc., but since everyone is feeling badly this week and Halloween is in two days, we settled for the church down the street with a tee tiny pumpkin patch. Oh well, there is always next year.

Too cute

Just a picture of Paige with a big smile.

Ouch

Last night Paige fell into the rounded corner of our wood coffee table. I was one minute short of walking out the door for an evening out. I was just so happy we didn't have to go to the ER. She seems to be doing okay though now...just waiting for the shiner to show up.

Sing sing sing

Not only does Paige love to dance, she loves to sing. Here she is singing the ABC song...while sitting on a case of beer. (Hey,what can I say, it kept her happy while I was unloading groceries).

Silverado time

This weekend Trey and Paige were able to ride the Silverado. Paige couldn't get enough - 'Bore Bore Bore' she said!

A morning at the park

The happy couple

Well, here is one of me and Dominique in case you guys are tired of seeing just the kids. :>) Although I guess, technically, you still have to see them in the photos on the mantle. Ha!

House guest

So we are taking care of our friend's fighter fish, Dorothy. The kids are loving it. I am praying that I don't have to go on a trip to the local Petco before Sunday afternoon.

Pajamas gone wild

Fashion forward. Trey is wearing pjs over his clothes with pj bottoms on his arms and Paige is modeling Trey's pj bottoms.

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails

How sweet and innocent....

(While we were all sitting at the table and the kids were eating their night time snack of Cheerios and milk before bedtime.)
Trey: "Mommy, have you been to the moon?"
Mommy: "No"
Trey: "Daddy, have you been to the moon?"
Daddy: "No"
Trey: "Me neither"

And then when we were tucking him in we saw another side...I would have taken a picture, but I didn't want to gross everyone out too much...
A "booger" collection on the wall above his pillow. Nice. But as Grandma said, at least he didn't eat them!!

Dance dance dance

Paige loves to dance. Today when I returned something to Best Buy we had to stop on the sidewalk in front of the store so that she could dance to the music playing in the parking lot. Here are some pics of her dancing in our family room.
