Yep, busy weekend at our house.
Friday night we carved pumpkins. Auntie Teresa and Uncle Jeremy helped, but I do not have a single picture of either one of them? My only excuse is I had my eyes on 5 kids with knives! (OK so not all had actual knives, but don't tell the little ones.)
My contractor husband decided a saws-all would be a much faster way to open up these big pumpkins.
He was right!
Saturday morning Jamison, Chad, Teresa and Jeremy joined in on pheasant hunting at Grammy's. Joshua, myself, and the girls slept in and caught up on a few chores. Saturday afternoon we took Joshua swimming in a pool! He did not understand the concept of a pool. He kept asking where oh where is the boat as we packed up to go swimming. He had only ever swam in a lake! Auntie Teresa and Uncle Jeremy had rented a room for fun - so we crashed the party and had some fun!
Joshua is a water bug! All the kids are, but Krissy was in charge of photos and I guess she only had eyes for her littlest bro.
Today, of course was Trick Or Treating!
Joshua was one cute cowboy!
Brenna was a pioneer girl. Grandma Donna sewed this dress and bonnet!
Sierra was a "mad scientist!" She hopes to be a chemist some day. Krissy did her hair. Would believe an empty Coke can and A LOT of hairspray is holding it all up like that?!
Also check out that puking pumpkin... all Uncle Jeremy's idea - crazily enough we had MANY people snapping pics of it. And there were 2 sweet little girls that kindly told us they thought our pumpkin got sick. They were truly concerned! I love kids!
Joshua was NOT a fan, of trick or treat at first. His bucket was empty quite a while
.
We hung our with our great friends the B family.
Cameron and Brenna
We started the evening at a church party (not our church). Eventually Joshua thought the games were FUN! He has quite an arm but his accuracy is a bit lacking - so remember to duck!
One of his prizes was his very first can of pop. Yep... he liked it!
As you can see, by the end of the evening, Joshua was all about trick or treat! He insisted on walking every step of the block we went around upon arriving home. (Thanks Brenna, Cameron, Sierra, and Drew for being so patient!)
And, just in case you were as worried as I was, Sierra's hair dye mostly washed out!
Happy Halloween!
