FALL FUN....Tonight was the night designated for pumpkin carving, so after a supper prepared jointly (Willie grilled chicken, Janelle fixed the sides, and I made the strawberry-almond-filled cake).....we headed out to the garage.  Did I mention that yesterday's high temp was 89.....tonight when we started the pumpkin carving the temps were in the 50's.....BRRRRRR.  And again I say BRRRRRRR!

Here are a few photos from our fun time.....
 

Janelle, looking like she's ready to attack this "thing".....

and Zach....looking a little less than enthusiastic about the 

messy part.

And this face was a classic....I think Papa had just "slimed" him!

But at least he got in there and did the dirty work (along with help from Papa).  Nathan, on the other hand, put his hand in, touched the "guts" and quickly pulled his hand out.  He was DONE....no more "uckies" for him!  But he liked his pumpkin after Mimi finished it....

 

And Zach liked his (no, he did not get to handle the knife...that was left to Mom and Papa)..

 

And the end result...

The little one in the middle is for Baby Lucas (who still has to make his "appearance").

Hope you have lots of fun activities this fall.....and enjoy those moments with family....they are so treasured. 


And, yes, we are still awaiting the arrival of Baby Lucas.....they thought Janelle would not make it past Sept. 28, and here it is Oct. 16th!  We are hoping for next week (she'll be 37 weeks)....please keep her and Lucas in your prayers for a safe delivery for both mom and baby.
