Pumpkins & A Princess

I guess I’ve got some catching up to do in the world of blogging.We went to the pumpkin patch several weeks ago, and the kids had lots of fun playing in all the little plastic houses that were there. Austin thought he was in heaven, continually pointing at the pumpkins saying, “Ball. Ball.Ball.” We had a hard time getting a good picture of them together, but a couple cute ones of each of them.

Yesterday I thought the kids would enjoy carving a pumpkin- well, playing with the insides after I cut the top open, anyway.Addison played with the innards some, but mostly she just threw it, and then Bear ate it (note his intent stare). They mostly liked “stirring” in the pumpkin and putting the top back on.

Tonight we dressed the kids up and went to the Trunk-or-Treat at our church. Austin wanted nothing to do with his Nemo costume, so at the last minute we decided to make him a “Mini-Me.” Wes said they were Super Rangers fans. Addison was a Disney princess (not sure which one, just the 60% off one). In the car on the way to church she was looking at the ruffles and sparkles on her dress and she kept saying, “Cute. Cute. Pretty.Cute.” It was pretty cute!

Green & Gold

Green & gold could describe what’s been coming out of my children’s noses this week, but I prefer to think of it in the context of our alma mater, Baylor University, also known as the currently ranked #1 team in the Big XII south- for now, anyway! (I’m just glad that “we fling our green & gold afar” is a line from that good ole Baylor Line and not from the Taylor line.) We went down last weekend for Homecoming. The kids enjoyed the parade, and it was great to see some family & old friends.

Despite the 2 hour inclement weather delay that began only 3 plays into the game, and the continued scattered rain showers throughout the game, it was a great game to attend. After the game, fans rushed the field and sang the Baylor Line on the field.

p.s. just pretend this post was written a week ago. :0)

Not much to blog about lately, so I'm going to let someone else do the blogging. We had photos taken recently, and we love them! Click here to check them out.
