Pumpkin Carving

Today was our annual trick or trunk.  To prepare for the festivities, we carved out pumpkins all day long.  Doesn't that just sound like so much fun.  One mommy, 5 kids, and 5 pumpkins.

So this is the one and only pumpkin that grew in our garden.
I think next year, we will plant them early in hopes of getting
more pumpkins than 1.  Not to mention having a bigger
pumpkin than what we had.  But this was 
the perfect pumpkin for Ruby.
She loved it.

Ruby is just thrilled to death with her pumpkin.

Here she is scooping out the guts.  It was really
difficult for me to keep her from eating the pumpkin.
She thought it was like one great big apple.

Here is Ethan and Larry cleaning the insides of their pumpkins.
This was our fun time while the others were away at school.


Here are my school kids taking their turns at cleaning out
their tiny little pumpkins.  Can I just say, if you are
going to carve pumpkins, little ones are not the 
way to go.  It took me forever to carve all these.

So the small pumpkin on the left is Ruby's.  She
chose a cat stencil for her carving.  Although,
she did not know I was going to hack her pumpkin up.
She got extremely angry with me when she
saw me cutting on it.

Here are all 5 of our carved pumpkins.

Not the best of pictures.  Xander had
frankenstein, Savannah had a witch, Larry had Boo eyes,
Ethan had a spider, and Ruby had a kitty cat.

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
