Great Day

Today was so beautiful. I love fall. The air is crisp and clean. The sun is bright, and all of the colors and smells are blissful. Today we carved a pumpkin. This was Izabell's first experience with pumpkin carving, and she was a little reluctant at first to get her hands icky. But she decided to try it and we had fun. I love the smell of a fresh cut pumpkin. You know what else I love? Roasted marshmallows. I went to Dad's and spent some quality time with the camp fire. If you've never experienced this, you must. Anyway, we had a great day and now I am pooped. It's a good thing we get an extra hour of sleep tonight, because Izabell and I both are going to need it.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Izabell and Elizabeth. Izabell was 3 on Oct. 16 and Elizabeth will be 7 on Oct. 26. Elizabeth is my beautiful, smart, and very sweet niece. We dont get the kids all together at once very often, so we combined their birthdays and had one big party. I went to the frurniture store and filled my husbands van with as many boxes as I could fit in there, took them home and dumped them in the yard. You would be surprised how much fun kids can have with boxes. ( isnt that all they ever really want to play with anyway?) So we played with boxes, played on the swings, opened presents, and ate cake. What a day.

Not much else to say. Just some cute pictures to show you.
