Carving Pumpkins

These pictures are way out of order, but I'm not going to change them. We carved pumpkins for FHE tonight. First time as a family.

Mikey helped me make these candy melt suckers for treats

Lombardi Ranch

I took the kids and went to Lombardi Ranch in Santa Clarita with Michael's family. It was a cute place to pick out our carving pumpkins and the kids had a blast. I'm not going to caption each picture, I'm lazy. So just enjoy!

Banana Footprint

Riley was walking around with his banana this morning and the top part broke off. He is very stubborn and won't eat a banana unless he gets to eat in the peel and he won't eat it if it breaks. So he let it drop, stepped on it and walked away. Now I have a banana footprint. I'll keep it forever ; )

Fun Stuff

The kids have loved going to Apollo Park lately. We go almost weekly. Three playgrounds and ducks. Dream come true for them.

Mikey met ChuckECheese yesterday. To say he was happy would be a HUGE understatement.



We are making purses for Beehives this week and I made mine early just to make sure I could do it. I am in love with it. I even made flip flops to match. It was super easy and fast. Just right for me. I haven't done a craft in so long I forgot how fulfilling it can be. I'm going to try and be more creative now.

Camping in Carpinteria

There is a state beach less than two hours away from here and we found a relaxing heaven there for a couple days last week. It was camping with no bugs and all the good stuff of smores, hot dogs, farmers markets, swimming, dolphins, smash ball, and more. Didn't hold too much sleep for us so we came home a bit early, but it was worth it. This will be something we do every year. We all enjoyed it so much!
