Lindsy as Jennifer Parker
We had a fun Family Home Evening Carving Pumpkins!!! Here is Dad's below - I forgot it and now can't make it go to the bottom with the others.
Rachel's beauty
Sarah - so clever and precise
All ready to scare some folks tonight!!
Mom was in charge of the food. I roasted up some pumpkin seeds - they were very good - great new recipe.
We invited some friends over to our apartment to carve pumpkins. We won't put their names on just in case they object. But they did a great job, I like the pirate.
It is our downstairs neighbors, we have tried so hard to do things with them and they never work out but finally it happened, and they brought sun chips and pumkin pie.
Then last but not least is ours. We bought a kit and it came with 5 stencils, so this is the best pumpkin that I have ever carved. Marybeth decided to carve a little decoration pumpkin that we had. It is harder than a big one but she did a great job.
Just incase you didn't get a good look from the picture above, here is an up close shot. I was really surprised that it turned out so well.
Here they are all lined up, we had a really fun time, it was nice to have some people over to our place. Hopefuly we can do it again really soon. How about for Halloween
Some of us went a little crazy buying Paisley birthday presents so we decided to spread them out a little. Last night we gave Paisley an early birthday present. She loves her new keyboard. It plays a lot of songs and has a lot of fun sounds. She is also a very good dancer. It was a lot of fun to watch her change the music and dance according to the beat.
Here is our big two year old this morning! She is so cute! She loves to take pictures and pose for the camera. Happy Birthday Paisley!!
Yesterday we made the Cornwall's recipe for carmel corn to eat. It was very yummy. It seemed like the perfect Halloween treat. We also made carmel candy bars to take to some of the people that have been lending us the tools we have needed to get all our projects done.
Last week we went to a pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin for us. Paisley had a lot of fun. We haven't carved it yet, hopefully we can carve it before Halloween!
Last week's mutual activity was going to a corn maze so we all went along. We had a lot of fun and finished in second place! Go us!!
Dad and I have painted half of Paisley's room and Dad and Jason worked on putting up the chair rail. Today we plan to finish her room so she can start sleeping there instead of in the basement. That green color on top is a lot brighter than I had wanted, but oh well. It'll be cute!
The Ward Family came out to support Monrovia's Make A Difference Day!!!
What very cute kids to help with the work!
We planted trees on Peck Road between Camino Real and Duarte Road.
Don't you kids have a very cute dad!!!!
Great turnout from the city!!!
