Our pumpkin

haha!

The other night, we finally decided to carve our pumpkin that we purchased from Jackson's Orchard last week. I secretly had no idea how this was going to turn out. Last time that I carved a pumpkin was many years ago, Charli Beth has never helped with one and hates all things yucky feeling and smelly {she gags about everything. At times I have no idea whose child she is?} and well you never know about Mark. ha! Jk!

Let me first tell you, they did a wonderful job.

Yes, I did help out a little! I drew the face on the pumpkin, but it wasn't the most perfect face.


I am still amazed at how much she loved pulling the seeds out! She loved throwing them and making a mess too. I also got her to take a bite of the pumpkin {Yes, I am a mean Mama!}

Jennifer, over at The Foster Family is having a giveaway for a $25 gift card to Target {yes, TARGET!}! I am probably the biggest fan of Target in the world. No joke! Ask the boyfriend. They have so many cute things, half the price of other adorable places. I'm a bargain kinda girl, now that I have Charli Beth, and I am realllly wanting that gift card! lol. But it would make me just as happy for any of you ladies to win it too =) So head on over to her blog and enter!

Brody as Nemo - His costume was a huge hit, since it's little tail would wiggle as he walked!

Pumpkin decorating

Don't you love how she knew the pumpkin needed a bow? {it was suppose to be a bow-tie} Oh and the dots are freckles?

My Wicked Witch Momma!

Now you guys can just get ready for my picture overload of Halloween night! lol. But there may not be very many since I seen the temperature for Saturday is suppose to only be 46! What? That is horrible news for all our ghost and goblins. Hopefully that temp will go way up before then!

UPDATE: Temperature for Saturday is now 65, woohoo!!

Hair Help?!?

Oh my...please pay no attention to my chubby cheeks!

I am in need of hair advice, once again. As you can see mine is a total mess of chaos and I have no idea what to do with it anymore. I flipped it out this weekend and got a few compliments on it so I figured I would try it again today...{it's so darn heavy this way}. I've asked before and a lot of people thought that I should cut it back off short, but my cheeks are so "chubby" now I don't think it would look right. Any suggestions on what I could do to it with a budget? Ah, and I forgot that my roots are awful right now so *try* not to pay attention to that either, I really need to make the time to get my hair d-o-n-e. Lol, there is so much I could say bad about pictures of me, but I'll hush for now ;o)

The party decor & food

My camera isn't working the best and I don't have photoshop or anything really enhance colors in the photos (although I dream about the day that I have an awesome camera! lol) The pumpkins were amazing, thanks to my cousin Drew. He has an incredible talent with decorating and designing. So does my Mom, if it weren't for her Charli parties wouldn't be half of what they are!

I'll post pictures of the games and the kids all dressed up tomorrow night!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
