The Pumpkin Master

I must say, my kids are so lucky that I picked out such a great daddy for them! He is the pumpkin pickin' and carvin' MASTER! Big A can pick out the best pumpkins at the patch and then turn them into a work of art. If it were left up to me, we wouldn't carve pumpkins...BaHumbug!

Aaron sits down with the kids, gets their input on how they would like their pumpkins carved, sketches the faces for them, and then trasfers the 'pattern' onto the pumpkins and begins his work.

This year FiFi experienced pumpkin 'guts' for the first time. It didn't go over so well. It was quite the dramatic scene in which howling and tears were involved.


Learning from the Master. She wanted to sketch out her own design.


Daddy transfering her design onto the pumpkin.



The process...jotting down the ideas that come to mind. Aren't they cute?




This is what happens when mommy is sick...kids are slightly neglected and don't get dressed properly. I spent the day on the couch, but Ellie didn't understand. She just wanted to be held. Poor baby!



Apparently she remembers that pumpkins are good. I baked a pumpkin pie pumpkin a couple weeks ago and feed her the leftover part that didn't quite make it into the pie. Yummy!


Also, I am working on the 'prizes' for my little giveaway so I can take some pictures to post on my blog. I'm not making any promises, but hope to have the details posted by next week.

Look at Me, Mom!

I've managed to get some great pictures of all three four kids that I know will look great on my walls. The kids really love them, too. For some reason my kiddies love looking at pictures of themselves...wonder why that is? LOL!

I wanted pictures that ooze personality, not just portraits. Something that makes me smile every time I look at them. Anyway, enough rambling. Enjoy and have a fabulous day☺

(Note: I really did write and publish 'three kids'...see what they do to me? I put FiFi's oatmeal in the fridge this morning, rather than the microwave! Time for a mommy break.)









What do you think of the texture in the background on the picture of Miss Ellie? I was experimenting.

Also, for those that actually still read my humble little blog, I will be having a giveaway (nothing major) in exchange for a little decorating help. Stay tuned!

Patience

Oh how I wish I would have been blessed with a little patience...I have been trying to get some pictures of my munchkins to hang on my (very bare) walls. The decorating bug hit a while ago and I've had some fun ideas for dressing up my boring house.

The only cute picture I got of FiFi today was of her running away from me...


Hunter kept watching all the cars drive by...


I tried bribing them both by letting them make (scoop) their own chocolate chip cookies. Guess well try again tomorrow! Got any good ideas for more bribery?
