Pumpkin Day

On Sunday, we were invited to go to Darryl’s cousins’ house for their annual Pumpkin Day. We had a BLAST! We got there around 10am for homemade donuts, yum! Jay and Joanne made Memere Chauvette’s famous donuts. We then headed out to a nearby farm for a hayride into the pumpkin patch, feeding farm animals, and enjoying the beautiful sunny weather. We went back to their house for an awesome lunch, and bouncing in the bounce house. Then the pumpkin carving began. I had never carved a pumpkin quite like we did. Lindsey picked out this cute design that Darryl carved…3 ghosts and “Boo”.

And Hayleigh picked out Mickey Mouse and I took a “stab” at it. Not too shabby for my first time.

Aunt Penny had prizes and treats for all the kids. She was like Mrs. Pumpkin, way too cute!

The pumpkins were voted on, and prizes were given to the top 4 carvers. Darryl and I didn’t “win”. But seeing the girls faces and hearing, “Today was an awesome day Mama and Daddy”; was priceless!

Big Waffles

In our house, we love homemade Belgium Waffles. We tend to have them for supper instead of breakfast. About 2 weeks ago, the girls asked if we could have them, and I was all for it…super easy. Lindsey asked me if we could “go thru a line and make our own instead of having everything on the table”. I thought that was a cute idea. She had the genius idea to use the buffet side table where we have the phone and some decorative items. We cleaned it off, and the girls set up the buffet table with all the fixin’s for our waffles, sausages, and fruit salad. We had so much fun going thru the buffet line! Who knew, supper could be so much fun!
