Pumpkins

Aaah, October...Leaves falling, crisp air and...pumpkins!! We got this year's pumpkins from a small, local grower. They are beautiful! We had a lot of fun picking out the perfect pumpkins.
Then, the carving. I was worried this would be more stressful than fun, trying to balance the needs of a one-year old and three-year old while wielding a knife. But it all worked out well, Elise and I carved her pumpkin while Anja was napping then Anja and I carved her pumpkin while Elise was napping. Each girl got my undivided attention and it was a lot of fun.

The girls are super cute with their pumpkins. Tell Anja "happy birthday" from all of us here.

Thanks for the e-mail you sent to my hotmail account I finally checked it after months of non activity. I am working on getting my blog put together and hope I will get more computer savy in the process. Love you tons The Booth Family.
