My mom graciously offered to take the kids home with her after Lou's party on Saturday. I was hesitant (in truth, I practically BEGGED her to take them!) Skip and I had another birthday to celebrate that evening so we welcomed the kid-free night.
So, off they went to carve pumpkins at Ma & Pa's house. I am thankful that they are willing to host this because my kids wouldn't know what the inside of a pumpkin looked like without it. I am not about the mess. They have made it their tradition for which I am grateful.
I love seeing what designs my kids come up with every year. First, they draw out what they would like. Then Pa proceeds to make it happen. Z wanted a scary face and Lou wanted cross-eyes.
What an awesome way to end this fun-filled day!

Janelle, I absolutely LOVED the Candy Land party! What a genius you are! How creative! :) Wanna come plan my next party? :)
Sounds like a lovely time... you're a great mom! :)
Makes me miss my parents. Wish they lived closer.
What a great Ma and Pa and what wonderful memories they are making for your kids.
Pa is great!
Love the new look!
How Fun! We just did our pumpkin carving today, and it really wasn't as messy as I was afraid it might be! It looks like they had a great time!
Okay, I'm going to try this again. I can't figure out why I can't get my comments to post.
Jack-o-lanterns are fun, but messy. I leave the job to my creative husband. He has more fun than the kids do!
I loved the pics of L's party. But I am now wondering whether I should believe my husband was there with the children seeing as there is no photographic evidence. You know his track record with birthday parties ;-)
I think it worked!
I think I need to convince my parents that carving jack o lanters should be their great Halloween tradition:-)
Love your new header- what a sweet picture!
