Pumpkin Carving

October 30, 2014

On Monday night, we went up to The Club for the pumpkin carving night of fun! It was so nice…they had tons of pumpkins all scooped out and ready to be carved with plenty of carving knives and stencils for you to use.  Seeing as our two assistants had very short attention spans when it came to carving, I went with something super simple…

I think Spencey approved! (and, for the record, he ain’t afraid of no ghosts!)

Maxwell and Robert tried to get a little more involved…

While they were a more creative than me, simplicity ultimately won out on their pumpkin too!

Maxwell kept asking where Mickey’s eyes were!  ha!  I tried to get a cute pumpkin pic of both boys but, well…

A pumpkin picture of one boy will work fine for this year!

We then stayed for dinner and the boys got to spend all night dancing to the DJ on the light up dance floor – their favorite!  Loving all these fun Halloween events!

Fall Festival

October 29, 2014

On Sunday it was sunny and 82 degrees…perfect weather for a Fall Festival!  ha!  Regardless of the heat, we still went up to the church’s fall event and had a lot of fun. They had a little “hayride” which consisted of a trailer of hay being pulled around the parking lot by a Lexus SUV. Totally authentic and Spencer hated every second of it!

Maxwell, on the other hand, was in heaven because his two best buddies, Max and James, were there!

They had lots of fun games set up and the boys got plenty of prizes, treasures and even a tattoo.

They also had a bonfire (again, perfect with the warm temps!) and everyone got to make s’mores.

This picture makes me laugh…Robert trying to keep Maxwell from stabbing his burning hot marshmallow into someone while simultaneously trying to keep spencer out of the fire all while I’m taking a picture.  🙂

As we were leaving, Spencer was standing in the parking lot with his little pumpkin waving and telling all the cars bye-bye as they drove off!  Sweet boy.

Overall it was a fun night and we’ll definitely go again next year…but will be hoping for actual Fall temps!

See you tomorrow!

Soccer game 4!

October 28, 2014

Ok, finally getting around to soccer game 4.  Considering soccer game 5 was over a week ago, I’m a little behind!  That’s ok though…it was a nice, cool afternoon and good day at the soccer field!

Unfortunately, our team hasn’t been the most committed this year and we only had 4 players at the game that day. But, it worked fine to play a game of 3 on 3.

Maxwell hit the ground running as he’s been doing all season…

He even got in there a time or two and played some good defense!

I enjoyed this game a lot because I had a helper to wrangle Spencey!

Spencer was loving it!

Not sure I can say the same for a beat up, drooled on GJ!  🙂

I’m pretty sure she’d tell you she loved it though.

Spencer’s birthday party

October 24, 2014

First, happy birthday to Amy today! Hope it’s a great one with your cute family!

Second, As I mentioned yesterday, we had a small little family lunch to celebrate Spencer’s birthday.  Even though our only guests were GJ, Daddo, Lulu and Grandaddy, I still had to make it look festive!

Our birthday boy was a little bit cranky at the beginning…

But, as they say, it was his party and…you know.

He cheered up though and we had a great time…

Birthday boy

October 23, 2014

After a fun Saturday in T-town, we woke up Sunday ready to celebrate Spencer’s birthday!  I tried to snap some pics of my boys but Spencer wasn’t feeling it…he was too intent on showing his big brother who was boss that day!

Maybe next time! We ended up having a great little family birthday lunch for my favorite 2 year old. Pictures to come!

On Monday, Spencer put his “2”shirt back on to celebrate his birthday at school! For Maxwell’s 2nd birthday at school, we went with “lallow” cookies but Spencey is into trains right now so I made him some choo-choo cookies!
