Pumpkin Carving

Mara wanted Papa to comeover and help her carve her pumpkins. They have done it every year and she thinks it is great. Papa has lots of fun carving tools and afterwards we always get to roast the yummy seeds.

MeeMaws 75th Birthday Bash

Sunday we had Gram's 75th BIrthday party at my moms. There were about 40 people there for the festivities. We had great food, cool gifts and yummy desserts.

The girls were having so much fun playing and seeing all of the family!

Out for a night

Saturday night Mara attended kids night out so Justin and I escaped for a bit. Tami, James and Toby joined us for dinner at Katy Downs. After that we headed over to E9 to meet up with some friends who were really whooping it up for Halloween. Jolee and Kurt wre jail birds and correction officer, brad was a pilot (go figure), Genni was a 70's gal and there was us. Justin and I didn't dress up this year. We were just so happy to get out and spend some time with each other that didn't involve diapering and bottle making!! :)

Halloween Party!

On Saturday the girls were invited to a Halloween party at the Norris's house. Mara is a witch this year and Gracelyn is a pink Octopus.

The kids decorated pumpkins, played games, had yummy treats, danced and even watched a Halloween movie.

Gracelyn and Mallory just walked around and questioned these costumes we had put them in.

The girls had so much fun and can hardly wait to Trick or Treat on Halloween day.

Cheetah Girls!!

The other day we took the girls to the Gig Harbor City Park after daddy had a dr. appt. McKenna and Mallory were there so it made for lots of fun!!

Despite Gracelyns achey leg this week there were moments where it did not bother her and she was off with the rest of the pack.

Mara and Gracelyn got these outfits for the fall/halloween season. I kept calling them the little cheetah girls.

We went swinging, climbed the slide and even drove the boat!

Pumpkin Patch

Sunday was our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. This year we decided to try Picha Farms instead of Spooner. It was pretty fun!





Gracelyn was fascinated with these big round orange things!! Some of them were as big as she was.

Mara was overwhelmed with how many pumkins there were and kept shouting " here is a good one". We had to cut her off after we had 5 pumpkins in our cart!!




Gracelyn rode around in the cart for a while because she was fascinated with all the mud around. At one point she was completely rolling around in it!! Yuck!!












There was a huge corn maze, a rope swing for the kids to hang off of and of course the pumpkin sling. Mara did it and she won 2 baby pumpkins. Great job!!







I guess now we have to go home and carve em!! Mara called Papa for help. Stay tuned for the designs we came up with!!!
