Use the Force

FALL FUN

Well, it is hard to believe that the month of October is almost over! Where does the time go?? We had fun going and getting pumpkins this weekend..although I wish it had been a bit warmer!! On Sunday afternoon we had fun cleaning out our pumpkins and carving them!! Sara put her pumpkin "goo" into Britt's pumpkin. Kami went with her own design and did most of the carving...I helped her with her mouth. I finished cleaning out and carved Sara's (she wasn't to fond of the goo inside the pumpkin...according to her, it's gross! She wanted to wash her hands and be done!) Britt decided on the "difficult" picture of a pumpkin, cat and spider in a window..so after a while of carving, she became frustrated and I ended up finishing it for her! It was a bold attempt..next year she might get close on her own! We did have these cool electric carving knives that I got on the always good clearance last year..they were great! Sara was extremely fasinated by them...we caught her trying to carve everyones pumpkins with the electric knife. She had figured out how to turn it on and would try to work on everyones pumpkins...they must have needed some work!! All in all we had so much fun with our pumpkins! We lit them up last night, but it was so windy outside that the candles kept blowing out..oh well.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Kami at the pumpkin farm

Kami went with her Daisy troop to the pumpkin farm in Woodstock, IL. She had so much fun on the hay ride and and is so proud of that pumpkin! She is always so happy...we love her!! She loves being in Girl Scouts and can't wait for the cookie sales to start! Kami loves the uniform and the patches, but most of all she loves socializing and hanging out with her friends!! Next Friday she will be going to "High School Musical 3" at the theatre with many of the girls from her troop..they can hardly wait!!!
