The ballgame

Well, we lost by 4 to a good team.

*Sigh.*

Our seats haven't gotten better.

The kids jumped right back in the ballgame groove and were SO good. They know the routine. (It has changed very little in the last 3 years!)

The best part was that JD's parents, sister, brother-in-law, and nephews got to come!

The most fun booth in the restaurant:

*We play on the road on Tuesday. It will be a tough one to win- but you never know! :)

"Surprise! I'm a Pirate!"

(Halle's soccer team are the Pirates.)

October Tradition

Ty attempted a "face with eyes and mouths":

Halle wanted her to "be a girl" this year. Hence, the eyelashes, I guess:

And Cate. (Sigh.) She drew hers, assured me she was done, and then cried after it was carved. (So typical.) So I let her add some extras:

(Those are cheeks, "eyebrowns" and a forehead.)

Much better. :)

Can you guess who this one belongs to?

It looks like a Veggie Tales character to me.

The Pumpkin Family of 2012:

(Is it crazy that our pumpkin family now produces enough light to take pictures with?? Ha!)

We tried to get Ty to join in, but every picture with him looks like this:

The ghosty kids blowing out the pumpkins (the best part!)

** We do know that Jack O Lanterns have a very pagan beginning. We make it a point to talk about fall, and celebrating God's creation and provision. Also, carving pumpkins is a great object lesson in letting your light shine! (Matthew 5:16)

Oops.

Thank you, Gran Gran!

A box came yesterday from Disney World! (Halle thought that was SO cool.)

Gran Gran's archery team, which included cousins Jake and Caleb this year, made it back to the World Championship tournament in Orlando. And they finished third!
