Painted Pumpkins!

Alexander and I painted pumpkins outside yesterday!!!

Pumpkin Patch with the Playgroup!

um, Ya! Try getting Audrey, Alexander, Jillian, Bryce, Delaney and Addison to sit still for a photo! We did have fun (well, maybe Audrey not so much- she needed a nap, didn't like the costumet, etc.)! It probably didn't help that it's still getting into the mid to upper 80's here! We picked out our pumpkins and I can't wait to see how we decorate those!

Operation Christmas Child

It's never too soon...

So, this year I really want to teach Alexander about GIVING, especially with the holidays coming in a few months... So, we got him VERY involved in preparing a shoebox for operation Christmas Child! If you don't know about it, here is the link http://www.samaritanspurse.org/OCC.asp?MPGID=1

I am hoping it will help him realize Christmas Is about more than HIM getting STUFF, kwim? AND it's a great way to help others!

Here's a picture of him helping me pack the box. We even "named" the child Jonny that we made the box for.

Reminisce-and a few more!

Reminisce

Well, I've been having so much fun working with Reminisce's new line called "Live out Loud" so bright and fun! Here's a look at what I've made so far...
