Hanging with Great Grandma and Grandpa

We got to go spend some time with the Greats back at the beginning of Nov. It was a fun trip and the first time they got the meet Roo. Bumps quickly took to calling Great Grandpa by his first name, which we all find quiet funny. And Roo was just Roo. She successfully found the candy and that made her day fabulous. :)

Chilling in Great Grandma's lap

Super excited about watching their dog. She took great pride in annoying the tar out of him and giving both the greats damn near a heart attack as she did it. *sigh*

There's our pretty girl!

Leaves, leaves, and more leaves

I should have known when we bought a house with 21 trees there would be some reprocussions in the fall. Bumps loved the leaves though, as did the dogs. He and daddy had contests to see who could rake the biggest pile of leaves. Then he would promptly flatten daddies pile the minute it started getting bigger than his. And as you can see, he loves wearing his costumes.

The shirt says it all

Daddies pile

Figuring out leaves aren't near as tasty as they look

Notice how tall bumps pile is compared to daddies?

Carving Pumpkins

This years victims when it came to carving pumpkins:

Love this picture. Reminds me of a Pioneer Woman picture. We have the parents pumpkin, the Bumps pumpkin, and the RooRoo pumpkin

Big daddy contemplating what to do

Now he is showing Bumps how it is done

Taking out the guts with no whining from Bumps! Bumps is taking seeds out since he wanted them roasted like they did in his class.

My Halloween fireplace decorations. This pic is pure vanity. I was quite proud. :)

My Quilt!

After a 3 classes over 3 weeks and lots of homework my first quilt is done!!! I love it too!!! I am almost done with a Halloween one now also, just have to finish the binding. Uggg. And I now have a Thanksgiving one I want to do!!! This stuff is way too addicting!!!

Back of the quilt. I love love love that fabric!!! I am going to make Roo a skirt out of it!

Front of my quilt! It isn't big by any means, but it is perfect to throw over the back of the couch!

S House MADNESS

This is what happens when you go directly from a sugar filled pumpkin carving party to our friend the S house. You get little boys in Miley Cyrus wigs and dresses. This is probably why our boys are such good friends. . .

It's MILEY! No, not really, it is bumps.

Yes, H is totally wearing lipstick and my genius son has a hanger in his mouth.

"You.guys.are.idiots."

What's next?

Oh...Bumps is in a dress....that is what is next.

Pumpkin Carving

Bumps was invited to his first party at our new base recently and he completely freaked when we thought we were going to be out of town. So we had to move our trip to the beginning of Oct just so bumps could go to this party. He was so excited too. All he talked about for a couple weeks was this pumpkin carving party. It was at the house of a kid in his class whose mom happened to be in playgroup with me also. We had so much fun! The kids got to carve their pumpkins and eat lots of chips and candy. There was lots for adults too. I throughly enjoyed partaking in the poisoness punch. :) Bumps would only allow us to carve an upside pumpkin. In otherwords, mouth had to be on the top and eyes on the bottom. Apparently it is all the rage this year. He was extremely mad at us when we lit up rightside up. *sigh* So an upside down pumpkin it is this year for him.

Roo enjoying her first sampling of sugar for the night

Ummm, yeah, more sugar. Like the long hair up top yet no hair growing near the front. Our girl has a killer mullet.

"NO DAD, that is NOT how I want it."

No comment.
