Finally

I wanted to do a more in depth post, but I have realized that my son HATES when I am on the computer and throws a fit or tries to sabotage anything I am working on. So I am trying to do this while he sleeps (thankfully) in between dusting and making spooky mini cupcakes for the Halloween party we are going to tonight.

Gavin has had a ball outside (before the blizzard came) and we have spent a lot of time playing in the leaves!

The following pictures are from our annual Pumpkin carving/decorating with Mom, Marv, Jen and the kids. We had a great time and the pumpkins turned out great.

As you can see we had a ball, Greg and I actually carved our pumpkins last night, look next week for pics of that and of course our wonderful snow fall and HALLOWEEN! We are all looking forward to it! Have a SPOOKY Halloween!

Once again...

I am a slacker. But here is a pic to hold you over until I write a full post this week. I PROMISE.

October is here!

I love this time of year, the weather gets a bit cooler and the leaves look beautiful in their orange and red hues. LOVE IT. Plus it is my birthday month. Nuff said! I finally just finished decorating the house and Gavin and I just had lunch on pumpkin plates and witch napkins. Fun!

We are a bit busy right now, I am leaving for Chicago in the morning with my Mom, sister, aunts and cousins for our annual girls trips. I am looking forward to it, but more importantly to see the family and celebrate the birthdays we have. Seven of us are going and 4 of us have birthdays within 10 days of each other!

Which brings me to my Mom, she just celebrated her 60th on Sunday. This is the only shot I got that day, all the grand kids eating. Whoopee! A huge Happy Birthday to her!

We had a great weekend, our nieces and nephew had a slumber party on Saturday and we were busy! We started off at Anderson Farms, picking some pumpkins, going on pony rides, running around, etc. We all had a blast and agreed that the hay ride was the best part. All the kids took a nap, so I think it was a hit!

A beautiful fall day! Enjoy!
