catch up

I am going to try to catch up so I will start with posting a few Halloween pictures. Gracie got sick an hour before the trunk or treat but I had taken her earlier in the week for these pictures. She started crying when she saw the costume. For some reason it scared her, especially the hat she hates things on her head. Then I had to bribe her with treats the whole time to get some decent pictures. You can see her eating the treats in a couple of them.



I started a new tradition this year to make pumpkin bread on Halloween. I even put my 'perfectionist mom' aside for the day and let Gracie help me make them. See the sugar pouring onto her lap? We haven't cooked together again yet. This was our pumpkin we carved. Paul came home and asked me if it was suppose to be mickey mouse. It does kind of look like him.
I thought Gracie would get totally into playing with the pumpkin guts but she wanted nothing to do with them.
Gracie picking out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. We went with Candice, Brian and Levi. Paul even took her down the huge slide. The funnest part was seeing Paul and Brian climbing up the 2 story slide while holding the babies!
This is Gracie all ready to go to our friends house for a Halloween party. I think the holidays are so much more fun with kids! I get into celebrating them more because it is so much fun to see Gracie having fun and saying 'ohhh pumpin!'
