Pumpkin Carving

We had fun carving our pumpkin this year, even if it didn't last until Halloween. The boys definitely took a more active role this year than last. They didn't really like the slimy stuff, but had fun playing inside the pumpkin with their spoons. They also both wanted to help Daddy carve! Such a fun tradition.

So, I took 800 pictures in October. It was a busy, fun month! At the beginning of the month, we went to the pumpkin patch with our MOMS group. It was lots of fun! The boys enjoyed the haybale maze, hay ride, pumpkin picking, and animal petting.

Visit from friends

At the end of September, my college roommate, Jenny, came to visit from Mississippi with her husband Matthew and sons Asher (3 1/2) and Caleb (16 mths). Caleb is just a few weeks younger than the boys, so they were buddies! I hadn't seen Jenny in over 5 years and hadn't yet met either of her boys. We had a great visit, including a trip to the VT duck pond, dinner and cake for Jenny's birthday, and a trip to Roanoke to meet up with other college friends. We had a great time!

More family visits

Once again, I'm very behind on posts. I'll try to get caught up! In late September, my sis Jessica came to visit from Florida so we enjoyed some time with my family. It was a busy few days!
