The Great Pumpkin

 We had a grand old time carving our two pumpkins  Halloween Critters yesterday.    Yep, that is what they are called around here, compliments of our very on little critter, Reid Johnston.  I think he named them Halloween Critters based on this--one of our favorite books. 

Banks is the perfect age this year to really get involved and help. 

 

 

Just watching Mom.  "I love Halloween Critters!"

Reid wanted to carry the "lid" and put it on top. 

 

I will post pics of them lit up at night

 

New Gate

For a couple of years, we have lived with this awful, old, broken iron gate.   Many of you know that my Daddy can build anything and he has built several gates at their house that I love.  Well, one day he told me that he would make me one for my birthday and I was SO happy.  I told him what I liked and he took the measurements, drew it out, and the new gate was born.  He made every piece of it by hand and even made a special piece for it to hang on.   It is so pretty and we have enjoyed it more than I can say.  THANK YOU DADDY!!!

Isn't it pretty?   I sure to think so. 

Fall is in the Air

It's Fall around here and that means Daddy is breaking out the MSU pants!  

Reid and Banks joined in on this day.  

Bryan's wine from our trip to Napa came and he was so excited to get it and line them up.  

We really made some good choices in my opinion. 

 

 While Bryan was in New Mexico, my boys were Alabama fans. 

Last Friday was "Farmer Brown" Day at school and the boys wore farm theme clothing.
