Alexis Turns One

BOO!

Happy Halloween

Jake wanted to be everything for Halloween he finally settled on being a "scary skeleton" He was so excited to "scare all the kids and say boo" Lexi we made a pumpkin fairy costume a compilation of several peices. She is so cute (no prejudice here) I think I could have put her in anything and she would have been darling.







This is Jared and Jake carving pumpkins you can kind of see the finished product in the costume pictures

Fall colors

We have been going on walks with my friend and her kids a lot lately. This was last month when the fall colors were in full "bloom". It was such a beautiful day and the colors in City creek canyon were gorgeous. Jake and Emma picked a ton of leaves. They are great friends!

JACK-O-LANTERN ~

Jack-o-lantern, Jack-o-lantern,
you are such a funny sight
As you sit there by the window,
looking out at the night
You were once a sturdy pumpkin
growing on a vine
Now you are a Jack-o-lantern,
see the light shine

FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS SITTING ON A GATE ~

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said,
"Oh my, it's getting late."
The second one said,
"But we don't care."
The third one said,
"I see witches in the air."
The fourth one said,
"Let's run, and run, and run."
The fifth one said,
"Get ready for some fun."
Then whoosh went the wind,
and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Halloween Art projects

We had so much fun the other day making halloween art. Jacob had just watched Monsters vs Aliens we made BOB out of playdough. We made pumpkins and some aliens and lots of fun things. Jake loves to cut and glue and I love having something for him to do. Alexis was so much fun. She sat at the table in her chair and watched and giggled and Jake showed her all of his projects and asked "Is that good baby?" He loves praise from his baby sister already.
