Fun Fall "F"otos

The soccer season has ended. Gracy and Lexy had such a fun time playing and meeting new friends. Both proved to be awesome strikers, I like to think I taught them well, and scored goals for their teams. Lexy plays the entire field so good, and Gracy has a strong competitive spirit I guess you would call it. She tries to outrun everyone, especially the boys. Here's a few of their pictures...

Silly Pumpkin Faces

Sunday after church Lexy and Gracy were feeling a little creative. So I found a box of face parts, gave them a pumpkin, and let them create. They played well over an hour, and thank goodness for digital cameras, they had to take picture after picture of each one. We had some funky faces. Mostly monsters, some had many noses, ears, and eyes as you can see.

We thought this looked like a mosquito

I hope you don't run into any of these kinds of monsters on Halloween!

Perfect Pumpkin' Pickin

Gracy had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch. They were all her favorites, especially the little gords. She couldn't pick just one so we came home with a basket full.

We had so much fun with her class from school that we decided to take the cousins when they came up to visit. Everyone had such a fun time. They ran through corn mazes, straw bale mazes, and rows and rows of pumpkins. Each one found their perfect pumpkin.

My brother's the BEST!

Since we moved in I have had two projects I wanted to get done and absolutely no time to do it. I really wanted to paint the room in the basement to use as a guest/scrapbooking room, and the girls' bathroom was awful. It had a flower border that was way outdated and needed a new shower surround. So I called up my big brother and he came to help (actually he has done all the work). I picked a really bright blue/turquoise color for the bedroom and we decided to paint and tile the bathroom. I'll update when it's done.

Trying to Have a Party

For weeks I have been planning a birthday party. Gracy was turning 6 and she really wanted to invite friends from school so I thought I would plan her a big party out in the yard. I watched the weather forecast for 2 weeks before the date and picked Saturday because it was predicted to be the best day. I rented a big inflatable sports arena and had lots of games planned for the yard. As the days got closer Saturday started not looking so great, but I hoped it would atleast stay dry for the day. Well, if you were in I.F. Saturday you know the rest of the story. Her outdoor, fall birthday party turned into a party at the kitchen table, thankfully our power, yes! the power went out it was so bad, came back on literally 3 minutes before the first guest arrived. What a day! It turned out fabulous, thanks to the dollar store. Some quick crafts and games and we were having a blast. Gracy had a great time and loved every minute of her party.

( I can't believe my baby is 6!)
