Punkin' Carvin' 2010

Today was pumpkin carving day. Aaron did all the carving this year while I kid wrangled.

Outside, suited up and ready to go.

Testing to make sure the pumpkins were good ones.

Ready to help with a smile.

Looking inside to see whats what.

Daddy did the scoping while

Matthew dumped the scoops into the bowl.

Not so excited about raw pumpkin seeds.

While he waited for Daddy to finish the carving he walked back and forth across the deck with the empty kitty litter box in tow.

Checking out the finished product

The artist and the client.

With his finished pumpkin and a "smile".

These are all of our pumpkins finished. Mine is the tall skinny one on the left, Matthew's in the middle and Daddy's on the right. Mine and Matthew's are very straight forward. Aaron's is Moono from one of Matthew's favorite TV shows called Yo Gabba Gabba. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend getting online and taking a look for yourself. One our favorite songs from the show is "Don't Bite Your Friends". Thank you Daddy for doing all the carving!!! Great Job!

Punkin' Pickin' 2010

This year the trip to the pumpkin patch was a race against the weather. It was cold, windy and very wet. We got lucky and found the only break in the weather all day.

Daddy got us a wheel barrow first thing.

Matthew was positive he wanted to ride in it.

Two things to note in this picture, the muck all over the ground and the trucks passing on the freeway in the background. It was impossible to get Matthew to look at the camera for this entire trip because of those trucks.

Daddy took over the driving and things got a little wild.

Daddy and Buggle.

Mummy and BaBa

Daddy and his partner on a search for the perfect pumpkin.

Found it!

We snuck into the corn maze for a photo op.

This would have been a great fall/halloween picture if I could have gotten Matthew to look at the camera. As we were driving out of the parking lot the torrential downpour began.

Perfect Fit

He fits just perfectly into the cupboard beside the stove, tucks his feet in and closes the door.

3D Glasses 2

When we were in Montana Auntie Colleen gave Matthew these 3D glasses. When I moved the couch to vaccuum yesterday, there they were. These ones are a little less super hero and a little more Elvis Costello.

This is me attempting to sneakily catch some video of Matthew wearing the glasses.

This is what happened when I wouldn't give him the camera.
