Pumpkins...

First of all, does anyone know how to get this little blue box off of my posts and still have the background......ugh....it's driving me batty. :/

Okay, on with the post....

Kristyn has been asking if we could get a pumpkin to eat for a while now. So the other day, I let her and Owen pick out a pumpkin off of the "dollar" stand at the produce store and let them paint them. As you can see, they were quite proud of their pumpkins.

Kristyn said she was painting hair on her pumpkin. When I asked Owen what he was painting, he said, "A pumpkin!" (Oh, really??? I never would have guessed.)

This used to be several seperate colors. :) We'll cut up and eat the pumpkins today...yummy!!

As I've mentioned before, we have Kids Club at our church. Last week we finished our construction theme, "Build Each Other Up. We had a great time and the kids enjoyed it so much. Last week we had 41 community kids. Each child had a construction hat (from the party store)and that was their name tag each night. I won't bore you with all the details of each week, but I thought it was a great 6 weeks and the kids learned a lot. Next week we start "Treasures of the Nile."

The white picket fence on the left is a puppet stand that 2 "school kids" would walk by each week.

Isn't this just the cutest puppet "truck"...aka recliner box from the furniture store? That's Mr. Ibeam sticking his head out. :)

Here's some pictures for Megan's Grandma's. :)

" Okay, Mom, you can leave me alone to play now."

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!!

Who's Who...Answered! :)

I enjoyed reading all of your guesses. :) Thanks for taking time to do that. Most of you are right, the top one is Kristyn and the bottom is Megan. Papa, I guess you're the only one that didn't guess right. :( Need to come see us more often. :)

Thanks again for taking time to post your comment. I enjoyed them.

I saw these two pictures and thought I'd share with you. Can you guess which one is Kristyn and which one is Megan? :)

Family...

Since I had so many things I wanted to blog about, instead of making one GIANT blog, I made 3 seperate blogs, so scroll down and enjoy the other two blogs. :)

Isn't family great? Here's a little bit of what our family has been doing lately...actually, I'm only showing the "fun" stuff. I won't bore you with picture of washing dirty dishes, dirty diaper changings, dusting, mopping, "mommy talks" about having bad attitudes and the list goes on. Keith had off today, so we did some fun things and we all enjoyed being together.

Kristyn and Owen, aka Laura and Albert (from Little House on the Prarie) cooking their "broccoli" Kristyn told me.

We have Kids Club here at church and Heather was telling the story of the Good Samaritan, so she needed Keith to act like the man that was robbed and beaten. He did a great job!!

Our smallest angel!

We found a great park today and the kids had a grand time there.

Our oldest angel....I would say biggest, but I think Owen is as big, if not bigger than her. :)

One evening last week we went fishing. What a great time we had!!

God likes to talk to little boys, while they're fishin'......sorry, now you're going to be singing that all day. :)

Thanks for stopping by. Leave us a comment, we always like hearing from you. :)

Fall...

I'm posting these pictures for my sister and Elise, who live "way down south" and do not have the colorful world like we do this time of year! :)

The flowers have just about all given up, but there's a few hanging on and still blooming.

We found this today...a long ways from our house (thank the Lord). I think it's a hornet's nest. We had never seen one in the wild before and I certainly didn't realize they were SO BIG!!! We didn't stick around too long. :)
