Catching Up

Here's what we've been up to the last couple of weeks.

Baking cookies. Doesn't she look pitiful. I think she was on the verge of getting sick. As a result I got to finish cutting out and decorating the cookies.

Watching the backhoe (a new favorite word) take out a tree and dig trenches for the septic lines.

I thought it would be more fun for Hannah to paint her pumpkin than watch me carve it. With all of the coloring that has been going on on the walls I thought painting would be right up her alley. I guess not. It must be more fun to do art on things that aren't supposed to have art on them. Paint doesn't seem to be her thing and she ended up watching me paint. So, before it dried I washed it off and decided to carve it.

Hannah thinking about helping carve the pumpkin. When I got the top off her first response was "yucky." It's a good thing we had Hannah because I must have been becoming a boring adult. The last time I carved pumpkins was with my college roommate and it had been a really long time before that. I guess having kids allows you to keep being a kid!

Stay tuned for the carved pumpkin all aglow and Hannah dressed up (if I'm lucky).
