It's Pumpkin Carving Time

Last night, Elijah and Byron carved our pumpkin for Halloween. They did a great job! Now that Elijah is older, he really enjoyed more this year. We saved some pumpkin seeds to plant in our garden. Not sure how they will do but we are going to give it a try. ;)

 

"Hey, any candy in there?"  

Happy Halloween!

HUMC Harvest Fest

This year our church (Harvest United Methodist) held it 2nd Harvest Fest. Elijah and I were able to attend last year but Byron was out of town. However, this year all three of us were able to go. The weather was perfect on Saturday for this event and all three of us had a fun time. 

 Trick or Trunking

 Elijah was not sure about the hand :)

 Great throw

 Another good throw

 He actually got 3 three in a row for tick-tack-toe

After the fest, we headed to the park for some more fun

 He really enjoys going down slides

This is what we found waiting for us in our yard when we returned home. Elijah got so excited when he saw it. 

Fun Day at School

When we asked Elijah what he wanted to be for Halloween, he told us an astronaut. Not really knowing where this idea came from we decided to ask him. After talking to him we found out that he decided he wanted to be this after seeing the final space shuttle launch and from watching an astronaut episode on a show he likes. We both were taken back because we didn't think he had put this much thought into it and had just decided it randomly. It is amazing what kids think sometimes and their reasoning behind it. :)

So, this week at school, the kids could wear their costumes and were going to have a special lunch and activities too. Elijah had a great time and talked to me about his day all the way home.

 "Houston, this is the cutest astronaut we have ever seen!"

 Trying to get three boys to all look at the camera at the same time is basically impossible. (Elijah, Hayes, and Christopher)

They are all so cute!
