Halloween 2012

We started off the Halloween season with a book report project.  Introducing RINGO STARR in pumpkin form.  Good job Halle!

Then it was time to carve some pumpkins.  Tons of work but so worth it!

Scooping the guts is the worst part!Parker’s finished product!  He was so proud, even if Daddy did most of the carving!

Halle’s pumpkin.  She did a lot more this year.  Rod and I sure love when they can carve them all by themselves!Wes and Jessica had to get in on the act.  It was a fun night.All aglow, ready for our 5 trick or treaters!

Parker gets his Yellow Belt!

Parker’s friend Josh invited him to come to his karate class with him this past summer.  Much to my surprise, Parker loved it!He was so excited to have the chance to test for his yellow belt.  Brand new yellow belts!  It worked out great that Parker and Josh could get their yellow belts on the same day.Parker, you make me so proud!  I love how you set goals for yourself and  work hard to accomplish them!

The First Day of School! :o)/:o(

I can’t say that I was very happy about starting school this year.  I loved being home with my kids this summer.  I loved not having such a rigid schedule.  I loved cleaning my house and doing laundry whenever I wanted.  I cried for the first week, but we have all adjusted and so far so good.
