Pumpkins

Last night we carved pumpkins. And when I say "we" I mean Daddy. It took a long time but the kids really enjoyed it and Brian did a fabulous job. For before picture see previous post. I did not get any during pictures because the camera battery was dead. So sorry:( Maybe next year we'll remember to take pictures of the work in progress.

Trevor's pumpkin


Travis' pumpkin





Finally, I tried to roast the pumpkin seeds but they didn't turn out quite right. I think there were too many on the pan on the left which resulted in them not being completely dried out the next morning. Also, neither pan cooked evenly. I know the potential, though, so we'll definitely be trying this again next year.

Fun in the Tub



These pictrues were taken a couple of months ago. Thought they'd make you all smile. Trevor will soon be too old to take pictures in the tub and Travis will soon be too old to fit in that bucket! We have some pictures of Trevor in the bucket, too... somewhere.

The Country Pumpkins

Today we visited a farm in Caledonia. The signs leading us to this wonderful place was called The Country Pumpkins. I'm not real sure that is the "official" name of the place, though. Anyway...aren't y'all so proud I am posting pictures the same day they were taken!?! We really did have lots of fun and might even go back next weekend with Nana and Papaw. We'll just have to wait and see.
These are the pumpkins and squash we picked out. I meant for this to be the last picture but things just didn't work out that way!
Now, before you scroll through all these, I know I'm not the best photographer in the world, but the boys were in no mood to be still and take pictures today. So, please keep that in mind while perusing through.
Just imagine Travis saying: "heaby."Again imagine Travis saying: "puush."Okay, I know you can't see anybody's face in this picture.
I just thought the fact that it looks like Travis has a bunny tail was funny:)There were lots of different types and colors of pumpkins and squash and Trevor wanted some of each different kind. He liked this one because of the long stem.Afterwards Travis was pretty tired and they both were hungry.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed the corn kernel sand boxes and the wagon full of cotton but their favorite was the hay maze. They must have gone in that thing 20 times. The pictures of them coming out were blurry and the one on here was taken hurriedly because they just wanted to get back in the thing! Good times were had for sure. There is one fairly good picture taken on the back of the truck with which I'm going to Wal-Mart or Walgreens.com and make fall cards.

Birthday Party '08















Date: Saturday, 09-20-08
Time: 10am-12noon
Location: T and T's house
Theme: WALL-E
No disasters or anything real significant that happened to share. The boys had a blast and I'm pretty sure the guests had fun, too. The only thing different we did was not to have a cake because Trevor never eats any cake. So, I tried baking a big cookie which was not done completely in the middle but the outside tasted great! Thankfully, Trevor was not disappointed and there were enough adults there who liked their cookies gooey to finish it off. I also made buttermilk cupcakes with butter cream icing which were fab-u-lous. Travis had a good time with his cupcake as you can see from the pictures. Also, as you can see from the pictures, Brian did a wonderful job icing the cupcakes. They were so purty!
