Fall Fun

We had the best time last night carving pumpkins. The kids loved scraping out the insides.
They did a great job drawing their pumpkin's face and carving their creations. Cora had a ball drinking a juice pouch, stealing cookies, driving (I use that term loosely) the golf cart, and chasing the other little one there.


I was so impressed with all the fancy carvings! Can't wait for nightfall so we can light our new front porch smiles!


Not much better than yummy food, all kinds of wonderful fun, and good friends! The kids had so much fun riding through the spooooky barn on the golf cart with the some of the dads. The camp fire and s'mores were a huge hit! And how could they not be? We ate some of the yummiest candy corn/popcorn! And the adorable candy corn cupcakes were terrific! They were so cute!


Of course, the chili cheese dogs and chips & dips were a huge hit too!

I hope you have carved a pumpkin or two too! We are looking forward to all the fun fall festivities this weekend! What are y'all doing?

I have not fallen off the face of the earth...yet!

I cannot believe it has been over a week since I last posted something about our beautiful life! There are seriously not enough hours in a day. So sorry! We were on vacation last week. My intention was to post while we were gone, but our beloved friends kept me going from the time we rose in the morning until way past time for bed. We had a fantastic time. Love hanging out with great friends! It's been crazy ever since we returned, still trying to get the house back in order from the new floors (love, love, love them!), taking Emma for an EEG (haven't heard anything yet), riding in the boat in the evening and hanging out with more wonderful people, and the list goes on. I'm so behind on emails that it will take me a whole day to sift through them. Oh well, it's been a good week.

We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, Texas. (Grapevine is an absolutely adorable town, I might add. Great restaurants, great shopping, and oh, so cute!) Great Wolf Lodge was guh-rate fun for the kids. The place is kid-geared all the way, down to the spa for little girls, Scoops. Carleigh and Bailey loved their pedicure



The grown-up spa is wonderful too! My pedicure and massage was the best. After my massage was over I asked the lovely massage therapist who worked on me, Shannon if she did children or baby massage. She said she had before. I told her a little about Emma, and she got permission to give Ems a massage. I wasn't sure how she would like it. What do you think?




She LOVEDit! I was so glad she enjoyed something so much. We discovered she really likes the hot tub too!




I guess she realized we were on vacation, because she slept solid as a rock the whole time we were gone. It was good to know she was resting so well. Since we've returned, she and Cora both think it's a great idea to get up around 4 in the morning. We'll have to figure that one out fast.

We all had a truly splendid time on our vacation...









Have a great Sunday!
