Carving Pumpkins

Last night we carved our pumpkins! This year the kids were pretty much able to do it all on their own! While I miss them being little it was cool to watch them get creative!

They needed a bit of help getting started but once they were started they were off!

And everyone loved getting messy!

The final product was amazing!!!  Claire's in the winky face, mine is the elephant, and Oliver's is the jack o lantern.  Mark's pumpkin rotted and was eaten by squirrels so he didn't get one lol!

Halloween Family Fun Night

We had another wonderful Halloween Bash at Windom this year. I can still remember Claire’s first year when she was in a kindergarten and now she is helping out in MIDDLE SCHOOL!

Oliver has a blast with his buddy Will and kept him under close watch the whole night!

Lorenzo Alexander’s daughter goes to Oliver’s school so the kids love hanging out with him when they see him. He is so nice and always takes time to get pictures with the kids.

Claire and her buddies volunteered to come back and help out at the party this year! I am so proud of my girl and so glad we could all still go together!

Oliver was a riot with his milk costume!

And what would this night be without Grandma. She has been braving this party to help me out for the last few years (because Mark is working). I was gonna give her this year off because I didn’t really need help but Oliver would not hear of it! So he called her up and Grandma  gave up a Friday night to rock it up in the Windom gym ❤️

Happy Birthday Mark!!!

We had a great time celebrating Mark’s 43rd birthday with Great Grandma an Great Grandpa!

The kids love visiting with them!

Happy birthday Mark!!! We love you and I have no idea what we would do without you!
