Pumpkin Carving and Halloween

Pumpkin carving is not my favorite thing in the world to do. I don't like the sliminess and I don't love cutting the faces out because I am no good at it and I always break the little tool half way through. 

The kids still are not very good at cleaning out the pumpkins so Josh and I had to help them. 

Mckinley didn't like putting her hand inside either. I guess my kids are just too much like me in this way. 

Payton was probably the best helper. He's getting older so that always helps.

Josh carved Payton's and Scarlett's while I did Mckinley's. I did my own and Josh did his own while sitting on the couch watch the Kings game. 

Scarlett and Mckinley got bored and went and played on the iPad.

All our pumpkins carved!

Mal: Owl, Payton: Ninja Turtle, Scarlett: Snow White

Mckinley: Crown, Josh: Man with no head

Halloween we had 3 different family friends come over to our house and we all went trick or treating with the kids. The kids love doing this like this with the friends. 

All the kids! 10 kids and 8 Adults. It was a lot of fun! 

Josh and I! Best, most comfortable costumes ever!

School Field Trip

Payton's whole school was able to take a field trip to the Dell Osso Farm the day before Halloween. The kids were allowed to wear their costumes if they wanted to. I was able to go and be a parent helper for the day. It was fun to be a part of Payton's first field trip.

Ms. Reeves and her first grade class. 

Payton's favorite part was jumping on the giant pillows. He loved this. He got to be crazy and silly. 

Me and Payton!

Enjoying the train ride. 

I was in charge of these 5 kids the whole time. They were very good kids and I enjoyed having them in my group. 

Lastly we went on the tram ride and the kids just got to sit back and relax after walking around so much. Each kid got to be in the costume parade and they each received a little pumpkin to take home. It was a very fun field trip and Payton loved that I was able to be there with him. 

Soccer Pizza Party

The soccer season has come to an end. Payton's team had a little pizza party where they got a little treat and a award. 

Matt was the coach and Josh was the assistant coach. Payton was very proud of his award her recieved.

I can see the joy in his face. He makes me very proud and happy. It's fun watching your kids be so happy.

Austin wanted a picture with his coaches. I just think Austin is so cute. He is a good friend of Payton's and it was fun having them on the same team. 

Go Cougars!
