I love Fall Time!

I love this time of year. The things that I love the most are these.....decorating the house with fall leaves, pumpkins, bats, spiders, and ghosts. The boys love it, So therefore I love it. Being able to throw on a hoodie and not die of heat stroke is a big plus. (I could live in a hoodie they're so cozy:) Sipping hot chocolate, making soup again, and baking bread doesn't cause me to turn on the AC. I love costumes....if I could blow a ton of money I would on costumes, strange I know but I've always loved what throwing on a funky pair of purple polyester bell bottoms can make you do on the dance floor!

I've always had good intentions to carve pumpkins as a family but it always seemed like we were to busy so we would just end up painting them. This year the boys are old enough that I thought we'd try the real deal. They loved it. It took them a long time cleaning out the guts (which We didn't mind at all;) Then McKay and I helped them with the rest.

Andrew didn't like the smell at first at all but he still cleaned it all out without complaining. They both worked really hard to get all the guts, and "nuts" as they call them, out. It was hard work but they did it together and stayed on task getting the job done.

I asked them both what their favorite thing about there pumpkin was Andrew said " I like when it glowed." Carter said "I like about the smiley face and everything."

McKay and I love the boys so much. They make us laugh. Especially when they're tucked in bed and we're reminiscing about the day reenacting the funny things done and said. This was such a fun way to spend time with them. I think that we will be carving pumpkins every year!











These last pictures are of crafts that were from fun church activities but just got put away for a couple months(the picture block) or a year (the Halloween blocks)nobody has done that before right:) I just thought I'd show ya what I worked on this weekend.
