My Monsters

Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins this weekend. We also roasted the seeds. Isaac loves the seeds. The kids and I think they are okay.

Bathroom Redecorating

I needed new bath matts and  after two attempts to find some I liked that matched the curtain. I gave up and got a new curtain. I like the new look. We have had the same curtain and bath matts for about 9 years, maybe more.

We all went to a birthday party where there was a bouncy house, power wheel, and swing-set.

We got to see extended family. It was a nice day and so much fun.

We spent Saturday morning picking sunflowers, apples, and pumpkins. The kids loved pulling the wagon.
