Pumpkin Carving

Friday night (before Halloween) we did the dreaded Pumpkin Carving.  I hate it because it is messy and slimy.  Thankfully, Jeff has always handled the pumpkin carving with the girls.  Now that we have 3, I had to help out a little.  Josh thought it was great...Andrea loved it too...Sammy didn't want to get yucky (Sammy also refused to touch the pumpkin guts at school when they were trying to count pumpkin seeds)!!

Sammy and Andrea with their finished pumpkins.

Josh thought it was fun to put the pumpkin seeds in his mouth and suck on them...I didn't like it but Jeff didn't see a problem with it!!!  I just think it is all a little disgusting!  Josh must have been the winner because he was wearing a triathlon medal the whole time we were doing pumpkins!!

Here I am helping Sammy clean out her pumpkin.

Josh is LOVING it!!

Josh was very serious while trying to scoop out seeds.

Kindergarten Halloween Party

Samantha had her Kindergarten Halloween Party the Thursday before Halloween.  She was VERY excited to have the "celebration."  She was also excited because I was going to be in her class the whole day!  I almost didn't get to go because Josh hasn't been feeling well.  Luckily, Jeff came home and watched Josh and Andrea so I could go help in Sammy's class.

Sammy's Class

They did a costume parade on the playground for the parents.  Here is Sammy walking around on the line!  I remember walking all over the school for our costume parade in Elementary.  The kids today don't get to do anything fun!!

Sammy got LOTS of loot at her party!  She LOVED it!!

A Conversation with Sammy

S: "Mom, what do you do in Relief Society?"
M: "We have a lesson."
S: "Oh........I thought you did jumping jacks!"
M: "I don't know if most of the ladies in Relief Society could do jumping jacks."
S:  "Well, Ethan can do it."

I have no idea where this came from but it was our conversation as we were getting out of the van on Sunday.  Ethan is her friend, he is also 5...I have no idea why he came into the conversation about RS but then again, I have no idea why she would think we do jumping jacks in RS.  I guess, it would be better on our bodies....one hour of jumping jacks would be a good workout!!

Busy Weekend

This weekend was a little crazy!  The Christmas Boutique was on Friday night.  It was fun to see what everyone had created.  I was able to buy an apron for each of my girls, a necklace for me, and a cleaning/chore organizer.  I am going to use them all as Christmas gifts.  I also was able to sell about 23 bows, a few memory games and Bingo games.  I am excited!  In two weeks I am going to try to have enough bows to sell some in my driveway during our community garage sale.  We'll see how much I can get done in the next week or two.

We also had visitors this weekend.  Jeff's mom and Kevin stayed overnight on Friday night but spent the rest of their time in Las Vegas elsewhere.  The girls were sad because they had been told Kevin would come back and say goodbye...it didn't happen.  Jeff's brother Brett was also here but we didn't ever see them.  The girls had been looking forward to seeing Katie and Amanda but were sad they never came over. 

My mom and dad came on Saturday and left on Sunday.  When my mom and dad came, we went to an Open House for a really good family friend.  It was fun to see the Mills and Sammy loved seeing Anna in her princess dress (wedding dress)!!  They also enjoyed playing with Grandma and Grandpa all night on Saturday.  Grandpa also made pancakes on Sunday morning, they are Andrea's favorites!!  The girls were really sad to see them leave but were excited that they will be back for Christmas! 

And, now I must go so I can finish getting ready for Preschool.
