Pumpkin guts, beautiful pumpkin guts...


Ok, so I am a freak, I think pumpkin guts are cool. Cleaning the pumpkin out for craving is fun. I feel like I have accomplished something when the inside is nice and clean and ready for carving. I like how the insides vary from pumpkin to pumpkin. Your hands get messy but it is a clean messy, it washes right off. Dirt gets under your finger nails and into your skin and it takes forever to get you hands clean. I was pleasantly surprised to see that our 3-year old daughter really thought it was cool too. She dug right in and didn't stop. I am glad she is not a totally girly girly and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty.

On Friday, Rob and Nicole went to a daddy-daughter dance and had a great time. She really didn't get the concept of dancing with daddy all the time but she still had fun. She really enjoyed raiding the snacks- cheese balls where a huge hit. We don't have them at our house so it was a new experience for her. Every kid needs to eat cheese balls until they are sick at some point in their life.


Saturday was Nicole's B-day party. It was smaller this year, 27 people instead of over 40 like last year. Ok, we like hosting parties. Rob will say I love having lots of people over but he is just as bad as me. He made up the guest list not me! 'Cole had a great time. She really is a little socialite. She loved every minute of her party!

Need a life...


I really need a life! I come up with these great ideas, they turn into projects and I end up spending two or three days working on them. I decided to paint some decorations and make some games for Nicole's birthday birthday. Well, it took me way too much time but we have "pumpkins for sale" and "pin the nose on the pumpkin." Either I need a new hobby or to turn my brain off. I think there are meds to do that. The nice thing I make for her party, I can use for a halloween party for the daycare kids. Still wonder why I take on these projects. Oh well, Nicole loves her pumpkins....
