I am so very blessed to have the family that I have......
Mike took Kaylin on the walk for the costume contest. Konner could not be removed from the candy stealing. A brother from our old ward continued to look the other way every time my two year old went back to his game and stole candy.
Kay Kays won the adorable prize!!So I haven't carved pumpkins since I was a kid. I don't enjoy it. They're messy and it's gross. But trying to be the good mom here who gives her kids every experience they deserve, and well I ended up doing all the work!! Konner lasted a few minutes and then quit because he said "Ewe. Is yucky. Ewe." And left me to finish it.
The finished product. The little one has a bat on it, but you can't tell. I guess I need to practice.
I love a good laugh. And I love music and songs. When my aunt sent this to me I laughed so hard my husband came in from the living room to see what was so funny. And he laughed too!! I just had to look up the words. Enjoy....
