Pumpkins

Last night we celebrated, Halloween style. We had jack-o-lantern stew right out of the pumpkin and ghoulish green punch. We carved a pumpkin and roasted seeds and just enjoyed one another's company. Matalley didn't want her feet to touch the grass, probably because it was cold. Talk about a balancing act.

It's so nice to have life return to normal. Then this morning we had family pictures taken. Despite it being a little chilly, the leaves were pretty and the kids all smiles. I did put shoes on her today. Hopefully we got some good shots. It's about time the picture above the mantle included Miss M.

Tonight we had spider web pasta (I found some black pasta at World Market) and mummy hot dogs. Grayson thought that was pretty cool...hope he doesn't have nightmares about spiders. His imagination sometimes gets the best of him these days.

Today, coming back from the photo shoot, Matalley and Grayson had a spitting competition in the backseat, each blowing raspberries and cracking each other up. Yea for siblings. This is Grayson posing in front of his tower so that he could show Matt. It's the first time that he has made something completely symmetrical.

Just a random photo of my little monkey.
