Pumpkin carving

If you are going to make the mess, why not have some people over to share in it? It was nice to have some family and friends come over to carve pumpkins, the babies weren't sure what to think...and I realized I HATE cleaning out the pumpkins. Kolby was nice enough to clean mine out for me! Hannah is very proud of her frowny face pumpkin, and makes sure everyone knows it is hers!

A real post-

Alright, here goes:

So, the month is nearly over, the crisp chill has fallen upon us, the leaves are falling off the trees, and the Christmas shopping has begun. (<---yes, I said Christmas before Halloween. Sorry. I used to hate people like me who skipped holidays, but I'm experimenting to see if getting Christmas done before Thanksgiving will actually allow me to enjoy the season more.) I finished with Maddax today: Not sure what to get Hannah other than a knock-off American Girl doll. I just don't trust her with a $100 doll, and she doesn't care whether it is American Girl or Alexander from Costco... Any suggestions for a 5 year old?

Maddax is FINALLY walking, well, he's nearly running now. But he finally picked it up at the first of the month-much to my relief. He is now following Hannah around everywhere and into even more things in the house. Something I thought was impossible. They have become good friends, and enjoy playing together which means they entertain each other! (Everyone told me this would happen when you have two kids, I just didn't believe them.) Anyway, wish I had a picture, but I was dumb enough to rely on my cell phone camera this month and now cannot retrieve them from the phone.

Last week we ventured to the Scarecrow Festival and went first thing in the morning and missed the crowds and lines, it was PERFECT! Hannah loved the pony and hay rides the most, but the jumpy houses and slides were pretty fun too.

OH, and last but not least, New Moon is just around the corner, just over 20 something days!!! Oooo, the excitement :)

Thought about updating...

I decided it was time to update right? Well, I pulled out my camera, videocamera and phone (which has the most pictures on it.) And---after 45 minutes of trying to hot sync my phone unsucessfully and then an hour of reminiscing by watching home movies off the videocamera, I'm pooped. No update today, sorry. We are happy, healthy and flu-free.

I'll try to update soon, maybe tonight. I've become a lazy blogger, sorry :(

Just a little late

I forgot to charge my camera for Maddax's blessing, so I didn't take any pictures. Thankfully my mother-in-law remembered hers. I just got the pictures, so here is a look back 1 year ago:
