Guess what we did last night? I didn't know until we had everything spread out on the counter that SD had never carved a pumpkin before! Ella knew we were doing something to our pumpkins, but she wasn't quite sure what. This is the face we got when we asked her to put her arm in the pumpkin guts. It was a no! Daddy was a trooper. He cut the lids and scooped out all of the guts. I drew a face on one pumpkin and an "F" on the other and we each took one and got to work. See the concentration on his face? This is what we were left with. Guts, seeds, an "F" and a few matches. But didn't they turn out pretty? Ella pretty much refused to take a decent picture with the pumpkins and since she wouldn't be still she's out of focus in every one I snapped. ...
Random Tuesday Musings
I wonder why it's always Tuesday when I decide to post a random, rambling list of disjointed thoughts? I'm sorry my posting is so sporadic these days... I'm busy sleeping and eating and naming babies and all. I'm in the process of uploading 58 pictures to share with you and with Halloween coming up, I'm going to have approximately nine times that many pictures by Saturday. Not to mention the two birthday parties we're going to and dress-up night at dance this week. Bloggy goodness, I tell you. Thanks for all of your sweet comments both here and on Facebook, as well as endless emails congratulating us, complementing my belly and praying for us. We so appreciate them all. This pregnancy is going so well and I know that all of the prayers lifted up on our behalf are certainly helping. I ...

Children of the Corn
On Saturday, I went with two of my favorite kids and my oldest friend in the world to Old Baker's Farm for an afternoon photoshoot and lots of farm fun! My sister, Kamin, usually has her fall mini shoots the weekend of the Cotton Pickin' Festival, but due to some wedding fun, she had to have it a week early. Ryan and I were worried the little ones wouldn't survive an afternoon without a nap, but we were pleasantly surprised. The kids were so excited to see each other and couldn't keep their hands to themselves. We were smart enough to hitch a ride on the hay-filled tractor-pulled-trailer on its way to the pumpkin patch a quarter of a mile a way. We were even smarter to do it right when we got there. Later in the day the line was inching back to the gate and we were glad to be moving on ...
Cold!

Unpredictable?
Josh is making fun of me as we speak for posting this picture... I think it's funny. Obviously this isn't accurate, it isn't science-based, it isn't an ultrasound. It amounts to not much more than a Chinese calendar or an experiment with Drano in the bathroom. BUT, it makes for a good conversation. Even if that conversation cost me $30. This doesn't prove anything, but it will be interesting to see what happens. I still don't have a feeling one way or another and I won't tell you what Josh thinks. We'll just have to wait and see. No, "I told you so's", please! ...
Favorite Fall Find
How cute is this girl in her new collar? I told you I was saving my favorite fall find for another day. I got the collar here at Elisa Lou Designs. She has lots of great items, but I couldn't resist her dog collars. She ran a special during September when you ordered a collar in any fabric, she threw in a Halloween one for free. We can't wait to wear our flowery, girly collar, but at least until the end of the month we'll be sporting this one instead. Please forgive the blurry photos... she's a wiggler! ...
