Don't the kiddies just love to pick pumpkins....or as Emmy would say..punkins? We will have to show the completed jack-o-lantern closer to Halloween. Hunter's pumpkin will be a loner, Hayley won't carve hers because the insides are messy and gross. Hers will be a magical wonder of colors and shapes. I'll let Brent help with carving, he is the artistic one in the family. Mine always look like I kicked them, after I spend an absurd amount of time pampering the dang thing.
From pumpkins to family reunions... we headed to Toquerville for a get-together (one of many)The kids are always entertained well. This year they shot rockets 150 feet into the air, with a clever compression cannon. There will certainly be lots of knock-offs coming to your area soon. Only we will try to rig it to shoot something super cool like brownies, candy or cheesecake. Any treat item should have fewer calories because they are shot out of the confection. Right?
It is also a time to hear fun stories from Brent's grandpa, Clark Olds. We all adore him, he loves to be involved, and always has some creative advice for everyone. We were lucky to be able to sneak him into a few pictures. I am grateful that our children will have special memories of their Great-grandfather.
Emmy the great, seemed to be on a roll this weekend also. She has decided she needs help from no one, and is vocal to the point of popping ones eardrums. After a shower this a.m, she had a little lunch...all over. Brent and I are not surprised that she so tiny, 'cuz not much makes it in her mouth. Dingbat!
The worst part is that today was the first day that I was able (or willing) to put Emmy's hair into piggies. They were so dang cute, and she ripped one side out with spaghetti fingers. Brent thinks she looks so much like Hayley did at this age. Both were hairless wonders.
The weekend ended with a bang...or a bonk. Emmy performed some stroller gymnastics, and landed a perfect ten on her forehead. Super-sized goose egg, and a little nose skid. Brent and I will be replaying that in our heads for a while I'm sure, at least until all signs of trauma are healed. Poor baby!
Because of the elevation change, the bump on her head may appear larger due to light refraction. Is that possible? We love the daredevil dearly(with stress on devil). She keeps us on our toes. Too bad she can's seem to stay upright on hers.
Lastly, if anyone hasn't seen this seasons iCarly, you've got to watch for it. The halloween episode is just hilarious. Check for re-runs on Nickelodeon or I think they have them on iTunes also.
CHOW!

You weren't kidding about the goose egg. I guess it's all part of being a kid right.
